Synergy Six Degrees

What Synergy Six Degrees does

Synergy Six Degrees Limited is a UK-based specialist analyst firm and value-added cybersecurity product distributor operating from Covent Garden, London. The company combines two complementary activities: (1) bespoke analyst services — market intelligence, adoption curve analysis, data analysis, GTM planning and collaborative engagements — delivered to cybersecurity vendors, technology investors and end-user organisations, and (2) authorised distribution of two third-party cybersecurity products, NeuShield Data Sentinel (an anti-ransomware solution built on patented Mirror Shielding technology that recovers encrypted or deleted files without backup) and the Actifile Data Security Platform (a unified DSPM, encryption, data discovery and privacy management tool).

The company's business model blends professional services revenue from project-based and retained engagements with recurring channel economics from reseller sales of NeuShield and Actifile across Canada, the USA, India, the Caribbean, Germany and the wider EAME region. GTM is executed through direct analyst engagements, content-led demand generation (The 300 audio series, Six Degrees of Information blog, research reports, webinars), and an active channel partner recruitment programme that supplies resellers with deal registration, ROI tools and product training. Customers and partners named in case studies include Vectra AI, Corero Network Security, F-Secure, Cybrilliance Inc, Palo Alto Networks and an undisclosed Silicon Valley data security vendor; NeuShield has separately been recognised as a 2024 Globee Cybersecurity Market Disruptor and a 2025 Cyber Defense Magazine Infosec Innovator Awards finalist. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no disclosed headcount, and is led by Chief Analyst Kevin Bailey.
