Business

Vario Secure, Inc. integrates multi-functional security capabilities—firewall, IDS, ADS, and more—into a single unit centered on its in-house developed network security appliance, the VSR (Vario Secure Router), and provides a one-stop service covering everything from installation to 24/7/365 monitoring, operation, and maintenance. Its primary customers are mid-sized and small businesses that face difficulty securing their own IT specialist personnel, and as of the end of February 2026, the company has deployed its services to 7,651 sites across all 47 prefectures nationwide. In addition to its security BPO service, the company also offers endpoint security (Vario EDR), data backup (VDaP), and managed LAN/Wi-Fi services, building a comprehensive security BPaaS platform.

Business Model

End users can utilize rental equipment without purchasing devices, outsourcing overall security operations for only an initial fee and a fixed monthly fee. Stock-type security BPO services account for 87.6% of revenue, forming a structure in which revenue accumulates as the number of installed sites increases. Sales are centered on indirect sales through distributors such as telecom carriers and ISPs (OEM partners and resale partners), enabling the company to maintain a nationwide sales network at low cost.

Company Strengths

The cancellation rate (on a value basis) for FY2026 (ending February 2026) remained at an extremely low 0.72%. Revenue from Security BPO Service was ¥2,491 million, accounting for 87.6% of total revenue, forming a stable business foundation through a recurring model in which revenue accumulates as the number of sites increases.

VSR is developed in-house, and the company provides everything from equipment procurement, core software development, installation and configuration, to 24/7/365 monitoring operations as a single provider. Unlike overseas products, inquiry response is rapid, and the company has built a nationwide on-site maintenance system with a target response time of within 4 hours. The rapid troubleshooting and configuration changes enabled by in-house development support a high customer retention rate.

The company has built a sales network covering all 47 prefectures nationwide in partnership with sales agents such as telecom carriers, ISPs, and data center operators. In FY2026 (ending February 2026), sales through the major agent USEN ICT Solutions totaled ¥1,007 million (35.5% of revenue), while sales through SoftBank totaled ¥587 million (20.7% of revenue), reflecting a strong relationship with major telecom-affiliated agents.

ENVALITH's Perspective

For FY2026 (ending February 2026), revenue was ¥2,843 million (up 6.6% year on year) and IFRS operating profit was ¥562 million (up 14.1% year on year), marking a recovery from two consecutive years of profit decline. However, results fell short of the initial plan (revenue of ¥2,972 million, operating profit of ¥590 million). While the revised plan was exceeded, the low accuracy of the initial plan is a point investors should monitor closely.

The company has entered into a share exchange agreement to become a wholly owned subsidiary of HEROZ, Inc., effective June 30, 2026. While the company advocates a transformation into an AI security company and expansion into the zero-trust domain, the timing and scale of revenue contribution from specific new services remain unclear at this stage, requiring ongoing monitoring of progress in realizing synergies.

There exists a sales concentration risk, with the top two distributors (USEN ICT Solutions and SoftBank) accounting for 56.2% of revenue. In addition, price increases in licensing and maintenance costs stemming from rising raw material and energy prices are creating upward cost pressure, and the tug-of-war between this pressure and the effect of unit price improvement through price revisions will determine future profit margins.

Growth Strategy

Expansion of Security BPO Service, AI utilization, and transformation into an AI security company through collaboration with HEROZ

Implement price revisions for existing customers and agencies to improve unit prices, while strengthening the agency network through measures such as assigning dedicated personnel for the Chubu region, continuing to build up recurring revenue.

Increase the number of licenses by securing endpoint security projects through major agencies, expanding the service scope from perimeter-based security into the endpoint domain.

HEROZ will become a wholly owned subsidiary through a share exchange with an effective date of June 30, 2026. By combining HEROZ's AI technology with the Company's industry domain knowledge and data, the Company will promote the expansion of services into the zero trust domain as an AI security company.

In the sale of internet security equipment, promote the development of new sales agencies to reduce dependence on specific agencies, diversifying the revenue base.

Started providing a ransomware countermeasure package for medium-sized and small-to-medium enterprises from August 2025. Continue to develop services that address new security challenges, expanding the business domain as an integrated security vendor.
