S-RM

S-RM (originally incorporated as Salamanca Risk Management in 2005) grew from corporate intelligence and risk consulting into a full cyber security practice, now offering 24/7 incident response, managed cyber security services, cyber advisory, digital forensics, and offensive security testing alongside its original corporate intelligence, due diligence, and crisis response lines. That dual heritage — corporate/geopolitical intelligence plus technical cyber response — gives it a broader risk lens than pure-play technical SOC vendors.

Insurer AXA XL holds roughly 49% of S-RM and has announced plans to acquire the remaining stake, tying S-RM increasingly closely to the cyber insurance ecosystem — a structurally significant relationship, since insurer-affiliated incident responders often get early, high-volume visibility into real-world breach patterns across many policyholders.

For CISOs, S-RM’s practical relevance is strongest during and after an actual incident — its 24/7 IR team and forensics capability — and as a strategic advisory resource that blends cyber, corporate intelligence, and crisis response expertise, rather than as an ongoing SOC monitoring platform vendor.
