CyberCyte
CyberCyte answers the question most tools skip. Are the controls you already paid for actually running?
The alternative
Tenable One, Rapid7 Exposure Command and XM Cyber. They collect vulnerabilities, map attack paths and prioritise.

A scanner tells you where you are open. CyberCyte tells you whether the defence you already bought is switched on.
Automated security control assessment is the first half. Is the endpoint agent installed on every machine, or only on the ones that were in the rollout list? Are the policies configured the way the documentation says? Was an exception created for a migration and never withdrawn? An organisation pays for a control and then has no instrument that verifies it runs in the field. That gap is how a breach happens behind a fully licensed security stack.
Governance and compliance in the same platform is the second half. Exposure data in one tool and compliance reporting in another leaves both incomplete, because the evidence an auditor asks for is the exposure data and the auditor is asking for it about a control. CyberCyte reports against ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, PCI DSS and DORA from the same pool of collected data.
The third difference decides tenders in this region. CyberCyte can be deployed on-premise. For a public sector, finance or defence buyer with a data residency requirement, a product that only runs as a service is disqualified before evaluation begins. It is multi-tenant as well, which is what a service provider needs to run it for more than one customer.
How it works
- Vulnerability, misconfiguration, inventory and threat data are merged into one pool
- Collection runs with an agent or without one, depending on what the estate allows
- Forensic artefact collection and classification surface risks that no inventory listed
- The state of each security control is assessed automatically
- Risk scoring and compliance status report into one console
Who it is for
- Organisations that bought many security products and never got one picture
- Finance and public bodies preparing for audit
- Buyers with a data residency requirement
- Service providers running one platform across several customers
What we can point to
- Deploys on-premise or in cloud
- Multi-tenant
- Reports against ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, PCI DSS and DORA
Where it sits
Exposure and vulnerability. CyberCyte works from inside, collecting from the machines themselves and from the security tools already deployed on them. That position is what makes its distinctive question possible. Not which vulnerabilities exist, which any scanner will tell you, but whether the control bought to deal with them is installed, configured and running. Nothing looking from outside the estate can answer that.
