Fox-IT started in 1999 as the first digital investigation company in Europe.
It was founded by Ronald Prins and Menno van der Marel, who
both had a background in Digital Forensic Investigations and in hacking
security systems, at the Netherlands Foresensic Institute (NFI).
Apart from conducting digital forensic investigations and security audits,
Fox-IT has developed a series of products for the protection of state secrets.
In 2003, the company bought part of the legacy of
Philips Crypto
in order to get access to technology for the protection of state secrets,
such as the
GCD and GCD-Φ crypto chips
and the V-Kaart Project
(which later became FFFE).
In 2011, Fox-IT was in the news worldwide for investigating the security
breach at the Dutch Certification Authority (CA) Diginotar, which appeared
to be caused by Iranian hackers. In 2015, Fox-IT became part of the NCC Group
(UK). Fox-Crypto — established in 2003 and responsible for the company's
cryptographic products —
was sold on 1 August 2024 to CR Group Nordic AB, and was renamed
Sentyron the following year (2025).
