What users say
Our partnership with KYND has played an integral role in creating sustainable long-term value, whilst providing unparalled insight into our portfolio companies' cyber risk posture, even at the pre-deal stage. Without the scare factor, KYND understands our needs as a private equity firm.
Steve Darrington - CFO/Chief risk officer at Phoenix
Integrating KYND’s precise and informative data points has allowed us to further evaluate not only the client's' ability to react to new vulnerabilities but also to give insight into their internal governance. This new multi-dimensional view presents an objective risk modelling index, describing our clients ability to manage cyber risk. This has made rebalancing our portfolio distribution more accurate.
