Cybersecurity ventures & strategic advisory
Building trust into the digital economy.
Alff-Tech is a founder-led venture and advisory company focused on cybersecurity, cyber risk and digital resilience in Europe.
We support founders early, invest selectively and bring decades of technology and operating experience to problems where trust is mission-critical.
What we do
From complex cyber risk to decisive action.
We concentrate on a small number of activities where deep operating experience can make a meaningful difference.
Back
We selectively support European cybersecurity ventures with founder capital, product perspective and practical operating experience.
Advise
We provide selective, board-level advice on cybersecurity strategy, cyber-risk products and technology due diligence.
Our current focus
Continuous third-party cyber assurance.
Organisations depend on hundreds or thousands of suppliers, yet supplier cyber risk is still largely managed through questionnaires, ratings and periodic reviews.
CyTrusted helps organisations discover supplier exposure, coordinate remediation, verify that issues have actually been resolved and retain the evidence needed to demonstrate effective oversight.
Built in Europe for organisations operating in an increasingly regulated and interconnected economy.
