What Proteger Systems does

Proteger Systems (ПРОТЕЖЕ / Protege) is a Russian private software company, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Tomsk, that sells a modular industrial safety management platform to large Russian enterprises. The system is delivered as a multi-user cloud-based web application requiring only a browser, and is structured around four integrated modules: electronic work permits (Наряды-допуски), a Smart Risk Assessment algorithm based on a risk matrix, equipment isolation / lockout-tagout certificate management (Изоляция оборудования), and an interactive facility map (Интерактивная карта). Adjacent capabilities include worker health trackers and RFID/NFC-based indoor navigation for personnel tracking in underground mines.

The company targets the largest Russian industrial groups in oil & gas, chemical, mining, energy, and metallurgy, and markets a "pilot on one platform first" deployment model to lower buyer commitment thresholds. Revenue is generated via a per-user monthly subscription, with modular pricing that allows customers to select only the modules they need. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales supported by the proteger.ru website as the primary lead-generation channel, with a single disclosed leadership contact: Andrey Yankevich (Андрей Янкевич), Director.

Proteger has raised approximately $3.585M across four disclosed funding rounds between February 2018 and May 2021, with round sizes trending downward over time. The company remains small (11-50 employees), privately held, and operates exclusively in the Russian market, with no disclosed international expansion, partnerships, acquisitions, or named public-company customers.
