A word from our founders
Nary RAMANANARIVO, CEO & Co-founder
SharpenCISO is not another checkbox tool. It was built by cybersecurity experts, for cybersecurity professionals — embedding 10+ years of hands-on GRC experience directly into the platform. Every workflow, finding, and recommendation has been shaped by what actually works in the field: the processes, indicators, and insights that CISOs rely on to make real decisions. This is compliance and Security-by-Design done right — not automated for automation's sake, but engineered to deliver outcomes that matter.
Antoine THOREAU, Head of Growth & co-founder

Behind the platform stands a founding team supported by talented developers and UX designers, committed to delivering excellence and scaling alongside our clients.
FAQ
Everything you need to know
Who has access to the tool?
Access to the platform is governed by a role-based access matrix. By default, only you and your team have access. Any additional user can be granted access by your team administrator, strictly within the boundaries of the predefined role matrix and according to your organizational needs.
Where is the tool hosted?
Our infrastructure is hosted on Scaleway (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified), a French sovereign cloud provider. For clients with specific requirements, we offer flexible deployment options — including hosting on your own cloud landing zone or on-premise within your existing infrastructure — as part of a tailored integration.
What AI engine is used?
