Sagenso

What Sagenso does

Sagenso is a Polish private cybersecurity SaaS company (Sagenso Sp. z o.o.) founded in 2019 and headquartered in Rzeszów, with a sales office in Warsaw. The company develops AI-driven security and compliance software for SMEs and mid-market organizations that lack in-house cybersecurity staff, organized around two integrated products: Telescope, a GRC platform that automates continuous cybersecurity audits and compliance assessment across NIS 2, TISAX, DORA, GDPR, and ISO 27001; and Ransom SpAI, an endpoint agent that uses AI to detect zero-day ransomware by monitoring unauthorized file-encryption activity in real time and learning individual user behavior baselines. Revenue is generated primarily through annual SaaS licensing on tiered plans, supplemented by a channel partner program paying commissions from 10% onward; the company also monetizes indirectly through EU-funded R&D projects channelled via NCBR, PAIH, and PARP.

The company sells across multiple verticals — automotive supply chains (TISAX-driven), healthcare providers, logistics/transport (TSL), industrial/manufacturing, hospitality, and public-sector/government clients — with named customers including GOPS-Żabia Wola, PrintCoast, and MEDIQ. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (with a free IT security audit as the demand-generation mechanism), a product-led content engine (Cyber Academy webinars, ebooks, and email courses in six languages: English, Polish, Spanish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian), and channel partners. The company maintains ISO 27001 certification (valid through December 28, 2026) and CEN/TS 16555-1 Innovation Health Check compliance.

Sagenso operates with 11-50 employees and is led by co-founders Antoni Omondi (CEO) and Bartosz Kozłowski (CSO), alongside Dariusz Piaścik as Sales and Development Director, with advisory input from Dr Tomasz Krawczyk. Funding to date combines non-dilutive EU grants totalling approximately PLN 9.7M across the CyberStudio DEMO, BRIdge Alfa, Cyberrisk Pre-Assessment, Polish Technology Bridge, POIR ransomware project, and Digital Europe Programme grants, with equity investment from LT Capital (over PLN 1M in September 2022) and SATUS Starter ($531K in May 2021). The company holds an embedded co-development position within Samsung Inkubator and has received press coverage from Polish technology and business outlets including PAP, MamStartup, Puls Biznesu, WNP, and ITwiz.

Core offering

Sagenso sells two SaaS cybersecurity products to organizations: Telescope, a cloud-based GRC and cybersecurity audit/compliance platform providing automated audits and assessments against NIS 2, TISAX, DORA, GDPR and ISO 27001, and Ransom SpAI, an AI-powered endpoint agent that detects unauthorized file encryption in real time to defend against zero-day ransomware. Revenue is generated primarily through annual SaaS licensing plus a commission-based channel partner program, with a free IT security audit used as the main demand-generation hook.

Product overview

Sagenso offers a unified cybersecurity product portfolio consisting of two core SaaS products: Ransom SpAI (AI-powered ransomware protection agent) and Telescope (GRC compliance and audit platform). These products work together—Ransom SpAI provides real-time ransomware defense while Telescope offers compliance assessment and centralized control. The company also provides educational services through Cyber Academy and operates a Partner Program for resellers. The underlying technology originated from CyberStudio, an AI-based threat prediction system whose algorithms were incorporated into the current product suite.
