About Cynomi

Cynomi describes a Security Growth Platform as one that enables service providers to deliver, scale, and grow security services across their entire client base. A Security Growth Platform combines security program management, compliance, risk management, advisory delivery, and revenue intelligence into one unified system, according to Cynomi. Cynomi helps MSPs, MSSPs and vCISO firms deliver executive-level cyber advisory.^[1][6][7]

Cynomi says MSP clients expect CISO-level guidance, but a provider cannot hire a CISO for every account. Cynomi names senior experts becoming bottlenecks for assessments and reports as a problem for service providers. Cynomi lists a struggle to translate security gaps into business-risk language that wins budget with executives. Cynomi states its aim as equipping every SMB with CISO-level security through scalable partner delivery.^[6][8]

Cynomi manages the full security journey: context-aware onboarding, risk-based prioritization, automated remediation roadmaps, task-driven execution, policy and documentation automation, risk management and BIA/BCP, TPRM, and executive dashboards with QBR-ready reporting. Cynomi describes security program management as running the complete lifecycle: assessment, risk evaluation, remediation planning, task execution, policy creation, and continuous improvement. Cynomi automatically generates a risk register, remediation roadmap, compliance mappings, and prioritized tasks from every assessment. Cynomi translates complex security and compliance requirements into actionable tasks that technical or junior teams can execute. Cynomi includes a task engine that converts gaps into prioritized, trackable remediation tasks. Cynomi provides built-in risk registers and Business Impact Analysis capabilities. Cynomi aligns security priorities with critical business processes and continuity planning. Cynomi automatically generates tailored security and compliance policies and translates gaps into prioritized remediation plans with step-by-step actions.^{[1][6][8][9][10]}

Cynomi suggests answers wherever it has relevant information, with confidence, reasoning and sources. Cynomi lets a provider use Cynomi templates or a reusable methodology of its own, then adapt as client needs evolve. Assessment results automatically generate a security posture score, risk register, prioritized remediation roadmap, tailored security policies, and compliance mappings across 40+ frameworks. Cynomi lets a provider assess a client's environment once and map results across more than 40 compliance frameworks, without duplicate assessments or separate compliance projects. Cynomi unifies security, risk management, and compliance into a single workflow with integrated mapping across NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, GDPR, NIS2, DORA and more. Cynomi connects security tasks, controls, and policies to compliance requirements, so compliance posture updates automatically as security work gets completed. A provider can build its own reusable assessment template using Cynomi's task library and tailor the scope to the compliance requirements it needs to assess.^{[1][6][10][11]}

Cynomi uses AI and agentic workflows to automate and simplify core advisory tasks such as assessments, prioritization, reporting, and compliance readiness. Cynomi reveals gaps, maps them to a provider's service catalog, and quantifies expansion opportunities in monthly recurring revenue terms.^[6][7]

Cynomi is offered as a combination of one-time assessments, Cynomi Core, Cynomi Pro, and Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) licenses. Cynomi Core is designed for foundational, task-driven cybersecurity services, while Cynomi Pro supports more advanced cyber advisory, risk management, and compliance-focused delivery. Cynomi positions Core for clients that need practical, task-driven cybersecurity services without the complexity of a full compliance program. Cynomi positions Pro for clients that need deeper cyber advisory, risk management, compliance, planning, and executive visibility. Cynomi positions one-time assessments to evaluate a client's current posture, identify gaps, and demonstrate value early in the relationship. TPRM assesses, monitors, and manages third-party risk across a client's vendor ecosystem. Cynomi is priced on a per account basis. Cynomi manages complete security programs, ties them to services and revenue, and can sit alongside GRC or audit tools when clients need formal certifications.^[1][8][12]

Cynomi describes its offering as a way to operationalize multi-framework compliance for SMB and mid-market clients without buying a heavy GRC stack. Cynomi describes managed vCISO and cyber advisory as executive-level security leadership delivered as a recurring service, without hiring a full-time CISO for every client. Cynomi states that MSSPs need to run consistent security programs across many clients while layering strategic advisory above SOC and operational services. Cynomi was founded in 2021 with the vision that every organization deserves CISO-level security, regardless of size or resources. Cynomi was founded in Israel and the UK. David Primor, Cynomi's founder, saw that SMBs needed enterprise-grade cybersecurity but could not hire full-time CISOs. Erin McLean leads Cynomi's global marketing strategy, brand, and communications.^{[1][3][6][7][8][11]}
