CYRISMA

Cyrisma operates a unified cyber risk and compliance platform aimed at managed service providers (MSPs), managed security service providers (MSSPs) and internal IT teams. The platform brings four core modules into a single dashboard: attack surface management (continuous discovery and monitoring of devices, identities and exposed services, internal and external), risk-based vulnerability management with contextual risk scoring and built-in patch automation, sensitive data discovery and classification across on-premises and cloud environments, and compliance management that maps findings to frameworks including CIS v8, NIST, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 and CMMC. It also markets secure baseline configuration and server configuration monitoring, vCISO software and MSSP software packages.

Deployment is cloud-based with a lightweight agent, and the company states new client environments can be onboarded and scanned the same day. The platform is multi-tenant, allowing partners to segment, monitor and report across many client tenants from one console, and reports and dashboards can be white-labeled with the partner's branding. Cyrisma integrates with common PSA systems including ConnectWise, Halo PSA and Autotask to automate ticketing and reporting.

The company is headquartered at 510 Clinton Square, Rochester, New York, and describes itself as protecting more than 3,000 organizations. In October 2024 it raised a $7 million Series A led by Blueprint Equity, and in January 2025 it appointed Mark Balovnev as chief executive officer.

Founding story

Cyrisma was founded in 2018 in Rochester, New York, and describes itself as built for the channel by the channel, with the aim of making cybersecurity simpler and more profitable for MSPs without adding tool sprawl. Liam Downward is a co-founder and serves as chief product officer.

Business model

Cyrisma sells a subscription, cloud-delivered software platform through the channel. MSPs and MSSPs license the multi-tenant platform and resell the resulting risk, vulnerability and compliance assessments to their own end clients, including as white-labeled reports and Compliance-as-a-Service offerings. A free start option and demo are offered as entry points.

Software-as-a-Service licensing to MSP/MSSP partners, positioned as a way for partners to build recurring risk and compliance service revenue; the company states partners consolidate multiple standalone tools onto the platform.

Traction

The company reports more than 3,000 organizations protected, a 92% customer satisfaction/recommendation rate, approximately 4 million patches applied per week, a 4.7 rating on Gartner, and partner-reported averages of 65% time savings and 40% reduction in security tooling costs.

Latest developments

In January 2025 Cyrisma named Mark Balovnev chief executive officer, citing growth and global expansion. This followed the October 2024 $7 million Series A, which the company said would fund platform development, customer success, and sales and marketing expansion.
