Press kit

Writing about security startups, building a market map, or listed here? Everything you need to cite or link to the directory is on this page.

The facts

• 173 young security companies across 13 categories, each filed once by what it actually builds. Catalog as of 2026-10-26.
• Every entry has a working website and a dated 2024 to 2026 proof-of-life signal with its source.
• Every view is alphabetical. No pay-for-rank: a listing fee only skips the review queue.
• Built by Better ISMS, which also lists its own product here under the same rules (see transparency). How companies get in: the curation bar.

Listed here? Add the badge

Every listed company may show it, free and priority listings alike. It is optional: showing it changes nothing about your listing, its order or its review, and we never ask for it in exchange for a listing. Replace your-slug with the end of your profile URL, or copy the ready snippet from your own profile page.
