Avertro

Avertro is a Sydney-based cyber risk and GRC platform, CyberHQ, that translates security-tool telemetry and compliance data into board-ready cyber-risk-quantification (CRQ) reporting. Rather than presenting raw technical scores, it frames risk in monetary-exposure terms using industry-standard loss models, aiming to close the persistent gap between what security teams measure and what boards can actually act on.

Beyond CRQ, CyberHQ automates compliance mapping and evidence collection against frameworks including NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, and ISO 27001, and includes AI-assisted threat-scenario and attack-path simulation. The platform is explicitly designed for two audiences at once — the security team’s operational GRC workflow and the board’s monetary-risk view — rather than treating board reporting as an afterthought.

Avertro emerged from Antler’s first Australian accelerator cohort, founded in 2019, and has raised early-stage capital from investors including Antler, CyRise, and Black Nova Group. A 2023 company profile reported meaningful revenue relative to team size, though Avertro remains an early-stage company relative to established GRC platforms, and some of its stated efficiency claims (such as compliance-effort savings) are vendor-sourced marketing figures rather than independently verified.
