SafeHouse Tech builds a cloud-based network security platform designed to sit as the first point of contact between end users and the internet, inspecting and filtering traffic in real time before it reaches the user’s device. Its flagship consumer- and prosumer-facing product, BodyGuard, is a one-click app that encrypts and secures internet transactions, aimed at users and markets — including in India and Africa — that are underserved by traditional enterprise secure-web-gateway vendors.
Founded in 2016 by Aditya Narang, Liad Herman, and Miri Yudovich, the Indo-Israeli company is headquartered in Tel Aviv with an operating presence in India, and launched BodyGuard in 2019. It has raised a total of roughly $9 million, including a $6 million pre-Series A round, from investors including Barclays Ventures and Techstars Ventures — notable in that Barclays is also a financial-services institution with its own fraud and security concerns. As of mid-2025 the company reported around 54 employees spread across Asia, North America, and Africa.
SafeHouse’s model of targeting individual users and telecom/ISP-style distribution rather than direct enterprise sales is a different go-to-market from most network security vendors, but no independent test results, named enterprise customer, or third-party security evaluation of its traffic-inspection platform were found.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Moved from founding (2016) to launching its flagship BodyGuard app (2019) to a $6M pre-Series A raise, a moderate pace consistent with a small, resource-constrained team.
Reports around 54 employees operating across three continents, suggesting a real, if modest, operational footprint; no data was found on total end-user or transaction volume actually processed.
Growth to roughly 54 employees following a pre-Series A raise indicates continued forward movement, though the company has not disclosed a larger follow-on round since.
Positioning itself as a first-point-of-contact cloud security layer for individual users and underserved markets, rather than a traditional enterprise secure-web-gateway sale, is a differentiated go-to-market, though the core traffic-inspection technology is not unique.
Investment from Barclays Ventures lends some institutional credibility, but no independent penetration test, named enterprise deployment, or published detection/prevention statistics were found to verify real-world efficacy.
Securing everyday internet transactions for users in markets with high mobile exposure and limited access to enterprise-grade security tools addresses a real and growing gap.
Why CISOs Should Care
Most directly relevant to telecoms, ISPs, and financial institutions looking to offer built-in traffic security to end users and customers rather than to enterprise IT teams protecting their own networks.
What Makes It Different
Targets individual users and telecom/ISP-style distribution in underserved markets with a one-click consumer app, rather than selling a traditional enterprise secure-web-gateway appliance or service.
The Matrix Verdict
50/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
An early-stage, differently-positioned network security player with credible institutional investors, but still lacking independent proof of its platform's real-world detection and prevention effectiveness.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Founding details, the BodyGuard product, and the $6M pre-Series A round are independently reported by YourStory, Indian Startup News, and Entrepreneur India. Employee counts and total funding figures ($9M) come from Crunchbase/Tracxn aggregation and were not independently re-verified against a primary company filing.
