YourSix sells Y6OS, a cloud-native platform that brings commercial physical security — video surveillance, access control, audio, peripherals, detection and ranging, and sensors — into one cloud-managed system with AI analytics and optional professional monitoring.
The pitch is moving legacy on-premises recorders and door controllers to a subscription cloud architecture, with vendor-agnostic hardware support. Axis Communications named YourSix its 2024 Technology Integration Partner of the Year focused on cloud.
YourSix raised a $10.5 million Series A in June 2024, led by Vocap Partners with Eastside Partners. Its press releases are datelined St. Paul, Minnesota.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Frequent platform releases are described, but independent evidence of pace is limited.
Consolidating physical security tooling in one cloud console reduces operational sprawl for security teams.
$10.5M Series A (Vocap, Eastside) and an Axis partner award show real but early traction.
Cloud-first physical security is a shift from on-prem NVR/ACS, though competitors pursue the same path.
No named customers or independent tests were found; efficacy is scored conservatively.
Cloud-managed converged physical security should stay relevant as on-prem systems age out.
Why CISOs Should Care
Physical security is increasingly part of the CISO's converged risk remit, and legacy on-prem camera and access systems are common weak points.
What Makes It Different
Delivers physical security as a cloud-native OS rather than hardware-centric on-prem systems.
The Matrix Verdict
52/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
YourSix is an Incremental Innovator: a credible cloud-native entrant in physical security with early funding and a notable partner award, but limited public customer or efficacy evidence.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Platform capability descriptions come from the vendor. Independently verifiable items are the funding announcement and the Axis award; no named customers were found.
