DynaRisk

What DynaRisk does

DynaRisk is a London-based cyber risk management company founded in 2016 that builds the Breach Check platform, a passive cyber risk scanning and monitoring service aimed primarily at the cyber insurance industry. The platform runs non-intrusive scans across a modular architecture that includes Digital Footprint Analysis, Vulnerability Scanning (against the National Vulnerability Database), Leaked Data Scanning, Hacker Chatter Monitoring (across closed forums, social media, and the surface web), Open Risk Service Checks, and Info-Stealer Scanning. Results are consolidated into classified Risk Signals at Critical, High, Medium, and Low severity. Underpinning the platform is a proprietary intelligence dataset of over 60 billion leaked data entities, 25 billion info-stealer records, and 3 billion hacker chatter records sourced from hundreds of monitored hacker communities.

The company's go-to-market is focused on insurance distributors, brokers, and Managing General Agents (MGAs), positioning its data to address a specific pain point: distribution inertia in cyber insurance caused by a lack of concrete evidence of existing customer cyber risk. In March 2026 DynaRisk launched the Customer Cyber Exposure Scan, a product purpose-built for insurance channel partners to surface compromised credentials, malware infections, and active threat targeting within their existing customer books. Revenue is generated through subscription and per-scan models. No pricing tiers are publicly disclosed.

DynaRisk is privately held and venture-backed, with disclosed funding rounds including early backing from CyLon Ventures (2016), undisclosed rounds in 2021, a $4 million round in June 2022, and a $4.7 million round in July 2025 led by YFM Equity Partners. The July 2025 capital is explicitly earmarked for product innovation and international expansion across EMEA, North America, and Asia-Pacific. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and is led by founder and CEO Andrew Martin, with Phil Zeidler serving as non-executive chair.

Core offering

DynaRisk provides a cyber risk scanning and monitoring platform called Breach Check that runs passive scans against a proprietary cyber intelligence dataset to identify vulnerabilities, data leaks, hacker chatter, open services, and info-stealer infections for businesses. The company complements this with the Customer Cyber Exposure Scan, a specialized tool that enables insurance distributors, brokers, and MGAs to identify compromised credentials, malware infections, and active threat targeting among their existing customer base, supporting evidence-based cyber insurance sales.

Product overview

DynaRisk offers Breach Check as a unified cybersecurity monitoring platform. The core Breach Check platform runs passive scans across multiple detection modules—Digital Footprint, Vulnerability Scan, Leaked Data Scan, Hacker Chatter Scan, Open Risk Service Check, and Info Stealer Scan—to identify internet-facing assets, vulnerabilities, data leaks, and hacker targeting activity. These scan results are consolidated into Risk Signals to flag critical, high, medium, and low severity issues. Breach Check is complemented by Hack Alerts for ongoing monitoring and the Customer Cyber Exposure Scan, a specialized tool for the cyber insurance market enabling distributors to identify at-risk customers.

Broad incumbents

• CrowdStrike: CrowdStrike's Falcon platform provides endpoint protection plus external attack-surface and threat-intelligence products (Falcon Surface, Falcon Intelligence). As a cybersecurity incumbent it overlaps with DynaRisk's scanning and threat-monitoring offerings at much larger scale.
• Kroll Cyber Risk: Kroll's Cyber Risk practice combines incident response, threat intelligence, and cyber risk advisory services used by insurers and brokers. Its intelligence and risk-services portfolio overlaps with DynaRisk's monitoring and insurance-channel positioning.
• Recorded Future: Recorded Future is a large-scale threat intelligence platform that aggregates dark-web, open-source, and technical telemetry. It competes with DynaRisk's hacker chatter and info-stealer monitoring on a broader scale and is owned by Mastercard.
• Tenable: Tenable is a leading vulnerability management and exposure platform (Nessus, Tenable One). Its vulnerability-scanning and external attack-surface capabilities overlap with Breach Check's Vulnerability Scan and Open Risk Service modules.

Direct peers

• BitSight: BitSight is a leading provider of cyber risk ratings and security performance management. It directly competes with DynaRisk by offering continuous monitoring, attack surface visibility, and cyber risk quantification, including for insurance underwriting and vendor risk management workflows.
• UpGuard: UpGuard delivers vendor risk management and attack surface monitoring with continuous scanning of internet-facing assets. Its third-party risk focus and insurance industry partnerships make it a direct competitor to DynaRisk's cyber exposure scanning platform.
• SecurityScorecard: SecurityScorecard provides outside-in cyber risk scoring and third-party risk management used extensively by insurance carriers and brokers. It overlaps with DynaRisk's scanning and risk-monitoring capabilities and competes for the same insurance-distribution buyer.
• CyberGRX: CyberGRX provides enterprise third-party cyber risk management, including assessments and continuous monitoring for vendor ecosystems. Its TPRM focus overlaps with DynaRisk's Customer Cyber Exposure Scan aimed at insurance distributors.
• Panorays: Panorays specializes in third-party cyber risk management with deep supply-chain and vendor assessment workflows used by financial services and insurance buyers. It competes with DynaRisk in the third-party risk assessment layer that insurance distributors evaluate.

Emerging players

• RiskLens: RiskLens specializes in cyber risk quantification using FAIR methodology, frequently adopted by insurance carriers and risk officers. It is comparable to DynaRisk's insurance-vertical positioning but approaches cyber risk from a financial-quantification rather than external-scanning angle.
