Cynomi provides an AI-powered virtual CISO (vCISO) platform built specifically for managed service providers and managed security service providers to deliver strategic security advisory, risk assessment, and compliance guidance to small and mid-sized clients who can’t afford a full-time CISO. The platform automates much of the assessment and reporting workload that would otherwise require a human vCISO consultant’s manual effort.
Co-founded by David Primor (CEO) and Roy Azoulay (COO) in 2020 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, Cynomi raised a $3.5 million seed round in 2022, a $20 million Series A in 2024, and a $37 million Series B in April 2025 co-led by Insight Partners and Entrée Capital. The company reports 4.5x ARR growth in 2023 followed by another tripling in 2024, reflecting strong demand from MSPs looking to add vCISO services as a new revenue line.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Progressed through seed, Series A, and Series B in three years while adding agentic AI capabilities to its vCISO platform.
Automates the labor-intensive risk assessment and reporting work of vCISO consulting, letting MSPs deliver strategic security guidance profitably at SME price points.
4.5x ARR growth in 2023 followed by another tripling in 2024, plus $60.5M total raised, are exceptionally strong momentum signals. Recognized in Cyber Defense Media Group's 2026 Global InfoSec Awards (1 award), independently juried industry validation of market traction.
Making vCISO advisory scalable and AI-assisted meaningfully expands access to strategic security guidance for a market segment that previously had none.
Explosive ARR growth is a strong market-validation signal, though independent studies on the quality of AI-generated risk assessments versus human vCISOs were not found.
SME security governance remains a large underserved market, and vCISO-as-a-service is likely to keep growing as compliance requirements expand downmarket.
Why CISOs Should Care
Most directly relevant to MSPs/MSSPs looking to add a scalable, profitable vCISO service line for SME clients who need governance without a full-time hire.
What Makes It Different
AI automation of vCISO assessment and reporting work, purpose-built for MSP delivery rather than direct enterprise sales.
The Matrix Verdict
72/100 — MEANINGFUL INNOVATOR
One of the fastest-growing companies in this batch, with genuinely strong revenue momentum in a real and underserved SME governance gap.
