Cyber Innovation is a boutique cybersecurity services firm offering three core lines: offensive security (penetration testing and vulnerability assessment), application security consulting for secure software development, and virtual CISO (vCISO) advisory for executive-level security strategy. It operates on an on-demand security-as-a-service model positioned as a scalable alternative to building an internal security team, aimed primarily at tech companies and growing businesses.
Founded by Gustavo Celani, who previously worked at Samsung, Dell, and Brazilian unicorn Olist, Cyber Innovation is headquartered in Minas Gerais, Brazil, with a US entity based in Florida. The firm lists Samsung, EC-Council, Dell, Olist, NerdWallet, and Truelogic among its client relationships and won multiple 2026 industry awards, including Globee Cybersecurity Awards and Global InfoSec Awards recognition for professional services, though as a small boutique it remains early in scaling beyond its founder-led origins.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
A small, founder-led services firm with steady service-line expansion rather than a product-driven innovation cadence.
Offers genuinely useful pentest, AppSec, and vCISO advisory services for smaller organizations that can't staff these functions internally.
A very small team with no disclosed external funding; award recognition is real but the client roster and scale remain limited.
A traditional boutique security-services model; does not change how security testing or advisory work is delivered.
Named client relationships (Samsung, Dell, Olist) suggest credible service delivery, though no independent case-study data was found.
SECaaS advisory remains useful for smaller and growing companies, particularly in underserved markets like Brazil's expanding tech sector.
Why CISOs Should Care
Provides an accessible, scalable security-services option for growing companies not yet ready to build an internal security team.
What Makes It Different
Founder-led boutique model with a specific focus on Brazil's and the broader LATAM tech ecosystem.
The Matrix Verdict
40/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
A small, credible regional boutique firm; useful in its niche but not yet operating at a scale that shapes the broader security-services category.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Client names and award recognitions are drawn from the company's own site.
