Company profile
researched Aug 2026Cynch Security, operating as Cynch Sec Pty Ltd, provides a cybersecurity assessment and governance platform aimed at three audiences: risk and procurement teams assessing third-party suppliers, small businesses and startups that must respond to security questionnaires, and service providers such as MSPs and consultants. For third-party risk teams, the platform produces a "Traffic Light" style view of each vendor's status, intended to replace spreadsheets and larger enterprise platforms, and supports onboarding suppliers while "coaching" less mature ones to improve. Outputs include a validated Cyber Fitness Report described as aligned to ISO 27001.
On the supplier side, Cynch helps businesses automate responses to security questionnaires, identify and remediate gaps, and demonstrate their security posture to large enterprises, government departments and insurers. Features listed include unlimited Cyber Fitness assessments, same-day questionnaire responses, on-demand support from "Cyber Fitness Coaches", downloadable policies and reports, and automated scanning that connects to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. A partner program allows MSPs and consultants to white-label the platform to deliver cyber governance and vCISO services to their own clients through a separate partner portal.
Business model
Software-as-a-service subscription sold directly to businesses, plus a white-label partner channel in which MSPs and consultants resell cyber governance and vCISO services built on the platform.
Recurring subscription revenue: a monthly plan priced at $149 per business per month, cancellable at any time, preceded by a 14-day free trial requiring no credit card. Partner/white-label arrangements are positioned as turning risk assessments into revenue for consultants.
Traction
The website states the platform is trusted by critical infrastructure organisations and more than 2,000 Australian businesses, and cites a testimonial from Hannah McKelvie at Telstra describing real-time insights into suppliers' security uplift.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography
Market position
Positions itself between spreadsheet-based supplier assessment and large enterprise third-party risk platforms, emphasising lower cost and effort ("100% visibility, 10% of the cost, 1% of the effort") and coverage of smaller suppliers, with a stated base of more than 2,000 Australian businesses.
Combines both sides of the supplier trust exchange in one product - assessing vendors and helping those vendors answer questionnaires - adds human "Cyber Fitness Coach" support, targets smaller suppliers typically underserved by enterprise TPRM tools, and offers white-label delivery for consultants at a low flat monthly price.
Technology
Cloud platform that runs Cyber Fitness assessments and generates a traffic-light vendor status view, validated Cyber Fitness Reports mapped to ISO 27001, and downloadable policy and report artefacts.

Go-to-market

Third-party risk and procurement teams (including critical infrastructure operators) assessing supplier portfolios; startups and small businesses that need to pass security questionnaires to win enterprise, government or insurance business; and MSPs and consultants seeking to deliver cyber governance services.
