Company mission

To help organisations increase their cyber resistance no matter their size or industry.

Our take

Currently, cyber defenders are struggling to keep up with the pace of cyber attacks. The traditional methods for testing infrastructure weaknesses are slow, labour-intensive, and consume significant resources. This is where Saporo comes in - a startup that helps clients enhance their cybersecurity defences by prioritising and reducing risks associated with user and system access.

Since a successful product launch in January 2022, the startup has experienced an exponential increase in its customer base, with more than triple the number of clients it initially served. Saporo now caters to a broad range of businesses, from healthcare and banking to insurance, whose teams range in size from 500 to 30,000 employees. This significant expansion speaks volumes about the effectiveness of Saporo's services in enhancing cybersecurity defences, and its commitment to providing reliable and innovative solutions to its customers.

More recently, Saporo has secured substantial backing from numerous investors, which will enable it to further scale up its operations. By leveraging these funds, the company intends to expand its team and enhance its product offerings, with a clear focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, Saporo is poised to bring its cutting-edge solutions to more businesses across Europe.
