SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with the development centers in Poznań and Warsaw, has won a Global Tech Award 2026 in the Cyber Security Technology category. The accolade recognises Pipeguard, a custom-built security platform embedded directly into the software development process. The Global Tech Awards celebrate technology excellence across industries worldwide, making this a significant milestone for SOFTSWISS brand on the global tech stage.
SOFTSWISS developed Pipeguard to solve a common industry problem. As development speeds increase, standard security tools create too many low-value alerts. Engineers spend time chasing false alarms instead of fixing real risks. The solution automates the process, handling more than 2,000 scans daily across over 200 production repositories across multiple product lines. This enables the resolution of more than 90% of critical issues within agreed timeframes.
Pipeguard is an internal system designed to protect software before it goes live. It works directly inside the development process, identifying and blocking unsafe code, vulnerable software components, exposed credentials, and infrastructure and configuration issues before they reach production.
One of Pipeguard’s core innovations is the Risk Context Score, a proprietary method that ranks findings based on actual business risk. This approach reduced irrelevant security alerts by 95%, allowing engineers to focus on genuine threats. New projects can typically be connected to the platform in a few hours.
The platform supports a technology ecosystem used by more than 1,400 brands across multiple regulated markets. It also helps SOFTSWISS meet compliance requirements and regulator audits across multiple regulated markets, including Brazil, South Africa, Estonia, and Mexico, among others.
Evgeny Zaretskov, Group Chief Security Officer at SOFTSWISS, comments: “This prestigious recognition from the Global Tech Awards highlights SOFTSWISS’ growing role in advancing cybersecurity practices across complex technology ecosystems. In our job, where release speed is high and trust is critical, security controls have to work inside delivery, not next to it. Pipeguard helps stop exploitable weaknesses from reaching production, reducing breach risk and raising the security baseline across the entire product ecosystem. This award is a real honour and a testament to the dedication and ingenuity of our security team, who built this platform.”
Beyond improving security, Pipeguard also supports compliance and audit readiness across regulated markets. The platform generates verifiable evidence for security controls required under frameworks such as ISO 27001 and PCI DSS, and supports regulatory oversight in multiple jurisdictions where SOFTSWISS technology is deployed.
