ITUS Secure Technologies

Machine-learning cyber risk intelligence platform for SMEs and insurers

Underwriting & Risk Growth Seed

Overview

ITUS Secure Technologies builds ITUS Protect, a cloud-based cyber risk intelligence platform that helps small and medium-sized enterprises demonstrate their cyber resilience while providing insurance carriers with real-time cyber exposure data for underwriting and risk management. Founded in 2018 by Dr. Clare Ryan (CEO) and Paul Daly (COO), the platform evolved from an earlier product called CYBRISC and combines machine learning-powered risk scoring, real-time monitoring, and vulnerability intelligence to generate actionable cyber risk assessments.

The platform aggregates security control data, vulnerability information, and CVE intelligence to produce clear, shareable cyber risk scores. ITUS Protect is designed specifically for non-technical business owners to understand and manage their cyber security posture while enabling insurance carriers to incorporate cyber risk visibility into their underwriting, pricing, and loss forecasting workflows. The company offers both a direct platform for SMEs and a managed service provider (MSP) partner program launched in summer 2025 to expand distribution across Ireland and the UK.

ITUS Protect was selected for Lloyd's Lab Accelerator Cohort 16 in March 2026, chosen as one of only 12 insurtech startups globally from 220+ applicants. The company raised USD 582K in pre-seed funding from AwakenAngels, Raise Ventures, Symvan Capital, Enterprise Ireland, and NDRC, with Series A planning underway for early 2026.
