Saporo Raises $8 Million for Identity Security Platform

The Swiss cybersecurity firm will scale its R&D, sales and marketing teams as it pursues expansion across Europe.

Funding

Swiss cybersecurity startup Saporo on Tuesday announced raising €7 million (~$8.1 million) in a Series A funding round that brings the total raised by the company to €13.6 million (~15.8 million).

The investment round was led by TIN Capital, with additional support from G+D Ventures, CDP Venture Capital, XAnge, Lightbird VC, and Session VC. Each investor will also support Saporo’s expansion in various European markets.

Founded in 2021, Lausanne, Switzerland-based Saporo has built a graph-native identity security platform that provides organizations with visibility into identity risks.

The solution analyzes identity relationships, log events, and misconfigurations to surface hidden attack paths and exposures, helping customers reduce attack surface, enforce policies, and prevent breaches.

This proactive approach makes access to critical assets significantly harder and enables organizations to address weaknesses in their environments before they are exploited for lateral movement or privilege escalation.

The solution monitors identity and configuration modifications in real time, across on-premises deployments, cloud services, and machine identities.

By delivering comprehensive graph-based visibility into an organization’s hybrid identity landscape, Saporo says, the platform provides the attacker’s view, ensuring that attack paths are eliminated at scale.

The startup plans to significantly expand its research and development, sales, and marketing teams in 2026. Currently, it employs people in Switzerland, France, and the US.

“In large enterprises, identity graphs routinely surface over a billion attack paths. Fixing them one by one is effectively a century-long project. Our customers use Saporo to remove around eighty percent of those paths within the first year, which delivers faster risk reduction and far lower remediation effort,” Saporo co-founder and CEO Olivier Eyries said.
