As 2025 comes to a close, the cybersecurity landscape looks different than it did even just twelve months ago. Regulatory, contractual, and procurement demands have intensified, AI has reshaped expectations, and organizations increasingly look to their MSPs and MSSPs for strategic cybersecurity leadership.
For service providers, this pressure has created a clear inflection point. The need for cybersecurity advisory has never been greater.
At Cynomi, our mission has always been clear: to make CISO-level cybersecurity accessible, scalable, and repeatable for every organization. In 2025, we took decisive steps toward that vision by accelerating growth, expanding our platform, and enabling partners to move beyond one-off assessments into long-term, high-margin security services.
A Year of Acceleration and Momentum
2025 was defined by execution and scale. We doubled our partner base, expanded globally, and strengthened our position as the leading platform for scalable cybersecurity management.
In April, we marked a pivotal moment in our company’s history. Cynomi secured $37 million in Series B funding, an investment co-led by Insight Partners and Entrée Capital, with support from our existing investors Canaan, Flint Capital, and S16VC. We committed to reinvesting these funds directly into our people and our platform. By enhancing our engineering teams and expanding our global footprint, we have accelerated the development of platform capabilities that service providers use daily to reduce manual workload and boost margins.
- For example: Our highly differentiated Tasks engine prioritizes actions based on compliance requirements, criticality and risk impact—helping service providers deliver prescriptive, proactive, high-value guidance and demonstrate measurable progress to customers.
- Another capability partners love is our Revenue Insights engine that allows service providers to prospect across their accounts for new revenue opportunities tied to services they can deliver, and compliance control gaps across their existing customers that need prioritizing.
This investment validated our vision and fueled our journey to become an “AI-first” company. This isn’t about us adding AI in front of every feature and jumping on the latest “trend.” We’re creating a truly agentic platform that puts our partners in the driver’s seat to ask natural language questions, build custom reporting and deliver enhanced cybersecurity protection to their customers with embedded CISO level intelligence, every step of the way.
The market response has been incredible. Following a year where we saw 3x ARR growth in 2024, this funding has positioned us to support an even larger ecosystem of partners who are ready to expand their cybersecurity offerings without linearly increasing their headcount.
How the Cynomi Platform Evolved
Over the last year, the Cynomi platform evolved from a cybersecurity management system into a true growth enablement engine for MSPs and MSSPs.
Expanded Compliance Framework Coverage
To reflect the regulatory realities facing service providers, we significantly expanded framework support across regions and industries. New frameworks added this year include:
- CMMC 2.0
- HITRUST
- Cyber Essentials v3.2
- NIST AI RMF 1.0
- EU AI Act
- CJIS v6.0
- ISO 42001:2013
- NCSC CAF v3.2
These additions allow partners to expand the recurring revenue services they offer that address these compliance use cases, while standardizing delivery and reducing operational overhead.
Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)
Managing vendor risk has historically been a time-consuming bottleneck for security teams. To solve this, we launched a dedicated TPRM module that combines automation, shared intelligence, and purpose-built workflows.
The impact on efficiency is measurable and significant. Partners using this module have cut vendor assessment times from an average of 7-16 hours down to just 1.5-4.5 hours. By slashing the time required for these assessments, partners can increase profitability with margins rising up to 20%, proving that rigorous security doesn’t have to come at the cost of operational efficiency.
Business Continuity Planning and Impact Analysis
Resilience is about more than just prevention. It’s about recovery. Our new Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and Business Continuity Planning (BCP) features allow service providers to prioritize security efforts effectively. These capabilities automate various tasks associated with continuity planning, ensuring that you can map risks, align assets, and build resilience for your clients—all within a centralized hub.
Revenue Insights Module
We understand that helping your clients often means identifying gaps in their current coverage. We introduced the Revenue Insights module to simplify the process of mapping client needs to your specific service catalog. It helps you identify security gaps and align existing services with customer requirements, effectively transforming assessments into revenue-generating opportunities.
Strengthening Our Community & Partner Ecosystem
Technology is only part of the equation. This year, we made significant investments in partner enablement and ecosystem growth.
The ELEVATE Partner Program
We launched the ELEVATE Partner Program, a tiered initiative designed to help MSPs and MSSPs grow their cybersecurity services with confidence.
ELEVATE provides access to enablement resources, strategic support, and performance-based benefits, supporting partners at every stage of maturity.
Pax8 and Strategic Alliances Across Global Markets
Our partnership with Pax8 reached a new milestone. After achieving Gold Vendor status, Cynomi is now used by nearly 200 MSPs within the Pax8 ecosystem.
We also deepened strategic relationships with organizations, including Deutsche Telekom, Grant Thornton, ECI, Deepseas, and others, expanding Cynomi’s reach and reinforcing our position as a trusted platform for cybersecurity and compliance management.
At the same time, we ventured into new verticals, providing solutions tailored to the unique needs of telcos, accountancy firms, and private equity firms. These new markets join our existing base of MSPs, MSSPs, and cyber consultancies, further diversifying our impact.
Expanding Leadership and Global Reach
To drive our next phase of growth and category leadership, we were thrilled to welcome Erin McLean as our new Chief Marketing Officer. A veteran in the channel security space, Erin spearheads our global marketing strategy, helping us amplify our mission and support the service provider ecosystem more effectively.
We also brought on Dror Hevlin as Chief Information Security Officer, adding extensive leadership experience and deep cybersecurity expertise to our team and Ohad Chereshniya joined us as our Chief Financial Officer, bringing valuable leadership and financial expertise to our continued expansion.
Our growth didn’t stop there. We also extended our presence across offices in the UK, Israel, and the US, strengthening our ability to support clients and partners worldwide. Together, these strategic additions reflect our commitment to driving innovation and delivering exceptional value at a global scale.
Industry Recognition and Brand Growth
Our commitment to excellence hasn’t gone unnoticed. We are proud to have been recognized by several prestigious industry bodies this year.
Some key accolades that highlight our dedication to innovation and client success include:
- CRN Security 100
- CRN 10 Hottest Cybersecurity Startups Of 2025
- CRN 10 Hot Products And Services For MSPs
- SC Award “Best Risk or Policy Management Solution”
- Pax8 Breakthrough Vendor
- TechRound Top 40 Cybersecurity Companies
Brand visibility was also a major focus, with Cynomi participating in 30+ industry events and unveiling a refreshed website to better support partners and prospects.
Looking Ahead
2025 was a year of building, scaling, and proving what’s possible when cybersecurity leadership is standardized, automated, and delivered at scale.
As we look forward, Cynomi’s focus remains clear: continue to innovate, expand automation and efficiency across the platform, and empower service providers to deliver consistent, CISO-level value to every client they serve. I am so proud of this global team and how everyone at Cynomi shows up for each other, and our partners. We hear you, we appreciate your support, and confidence, and we are excited to achieve our ambitious goals together in the year ahead.
Thank you for being part of Cynomi’s journey, and for allowing us to be part of yours.
