With the new module it is possible to perform a self-assessment based on well-known frameworks and reference standards such as NIST, NIS2, DORA e ISO/IEC 27001.

These are accompanied by two questionnaires developed directly by Cyberating:

– a CyberRisk questionnaire, based on a proprietary framework defined thanks to the experience gained in cyber risk assessment;

– a simplified questionnaire, designed for small and medium-sized enterprises, which covers the main risk areas and essential controls, offering an immediate and easily manageable assessment.

Using these tools, platform users can obtain a clear picture of their compliance level, identify any gaps, and generate a specific cyber score for the organization’s internal governance, which adds to the score already present on the platform derived from public data.

Supply chain monitoringMonitoraggio della supply chain

The tool can be used to evaluate your suppliers, allowing you to monitor their cyber posture and verify their compliance with the management policies adopted by the company, supporting effective supply chain management.

An ever-evolving set of questionnaires

The range of questionnaires will be gradually expanded to include additional European frameworks and regulations over time to meet the diverse needs of the market and various sectors. At the same time, it will be possible to create customized questionnaires, tailored to specific company needs and applicable both internally and towards suppliers.

The STAR (Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk) certification is a Cloud Security Alliance certification program that helps customers evaluate cloud services based on security and transparency standards. The program is based on a public registry that documents cloud providers’ security and privacy controls, allowing customers to select trusted partners.

Stefano Fratepietro, CEO and Co-Founder of Cyberating Srl, commented on the agreement stating, “This was the missing piece of the puzzle for the creation of the channel that we at Cyberating had planned for Italy. We are very proud of this collaboration with a distributor like Allnet Italia that will allow us to extend our partner network to foreign countries quickly.”

Ettore Mastropasqua, BU Director Networking and Cyber&Cloud at Allnet.Italia comments positively on the agreement: “The partnership with Cyberating represents an important step in the evolution of our Cyber & Cloud offering. In an increasingly stringent and complex regulatory environment, offering our partners and customers innovative tools to measure and manage digital risk means supporting them not only in protecting their infrastructures, but also in achieving full compliance. With Cyberating we enrich our portfolio with a European, scalable and future-oriented solution.”

Stefano Fratepietro, CEO and Co-Founder of Cyberating Srl, commented on the agreement, saying, “This is the first fundamental step in building a channel that puts the Partner at the center in a market where value selling is increasingly needed. We are very proud of this partnership with a distributor such as ICOS, whose strong focus on cybersecurity will enable us to achieve part of our goals.”

According to Paolo Ballanti, Head of Sales and Co-Founder of Cyberating Srl, “The growing focus on cyber risk management makes access to solutions that provide objective and continuous visibility into organizations’ exposure increasingly strategic. Through this agreement with ICOS, we aim to accelerate the adoption of cyber rating in Italy by leveraging a partner that combines technical expertise, business vision and deep knowledge of the cybersecurity ecosystem.”

Gianni & Origoni, the international law firm based in Bologna, acted as transaction counsel on behalf of Cyberating and its investors, with a team comprising partners Rodrigo Boccioletti, Federico Dettori, and senior associate Matteo Canonico, within the Gop4Venture practice area.
This significant pre-seed funding supports Cyberating’s ambitious vision: to become Europe’s leading cyber rating agency. The capital raised will enable the startup to evolve its current prototype into a finalized version of its platform and launch go‑to‑market operations, with a focus
on marketing and sales. The prototype has already been successfully tested by high‑profile clients in the luxury, automotive, and oil & gas sectors, who immediately recognized its value and potential.

Data from the Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 highlights that, amid rising geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty, risk awareness continues to climb. One in three CEOs cites cyber espionage and intellectual property theft among their top concerns, while 45% of cybersecurity leaders fear operational disruptions along with severe financial losses. Another major concern stems from the growing interdependencies within the supply chain: with expanding supplier networks, cybersecurity strategies must be integrated across the entire value chain. Notably, 54% of large organizations identify supply chain management as the primary obstacle to achieving robust cyber resilience.

“Today, companies face complex, inefficient processes that demand technological and procedural innovation to simplify and enhance the effectiveness of cybersecurity evaluation. It is increasingly urgent to improve the understanding and management of cyber risks,” explains Stefano Fratepietro, CEO and President of Cyberating. “Cyberating was founded with this mission: to create Europe’s leading cybersecurity rating agency. Through our rating platform and independent advisory services, we offer an objective and transparent approach to help companies improve their security posture. The pre‑seed funding will enable us to complete development of our platform and begin commercial expansion in Italy and across Europe. The trust of our investors confirms the validity of our vision and the transformative potential of our project: We rate the future.”

Giacomo Manaresi, Partner at FNDX, comments: “We are proud to have supported Cyberating in this important milestone. The growing relevance of cybersecurity on the global stage requires companies to adopt increasingly advanced tools to assess and mitigate cyber risks. The success of this round demonstrates the market’s confidence in Cyberating’s potential to become a benchmark in the sector. At FNDX, we continue to lend our expertise to high-potential ventures, fostering strategic investments in rapidly growing technological and digital areas.”
