Lausanne-based firm Saporo, which analyzes and secures hybrid identity environments by mapping attack paths and prioritizing risk reduction, has secured €7 million in a Series A round led by TIN Capital, with support from G+D Ventures, CDP Venture Capital, XAnge, Lightbird VC, and Session VC, as Vestbee was informed.
- Founded in 2021 by Olivier Eyries, Guillaume Eyries, and Eric Blavier, Saporo develops a graph-native identity security platform that analyzes hybrid enterprise environments.
- It maps attack paths across on-premises and cloud directories, including Active Directory, Azure, M365, AWS, Okta, and GitHub, as well as machine identities. The platform identifies excessive permissions, misconfigurations, and hidden trust relationships that could enable lateral movement or privilege escalation, then prioritizes the changes that reduce the most risk.
- Continuous monitoring of identity and configuration changes ensures environments remain secure, while integration with standards such as ANSSI, MITRE, CIS, and ISO supports ongoing compliance. Its graph-based computation can assess millions to billions of potential attack paths, enabling organizations to address systemic identity risk at scale.
- Saporo will use the €7 million Series A funding to expand its hybrid identity coverage to Google Workspace/Cloud and GitHub, enhance remediation workflows, scale R&D, sales, and marketing teams across Europe and selectively in the US, and leverage AI-driven engineering productivity gains to accelerate platform development.
“Saporo is redefining the future of identity security. The team’s talent, ambition, and ability to execute are simply exceptional. This is the strongest European platform in the market, and together with CDP Venture Capital, G+D Ventures and XAnge, we’re backing Saporo to become a clear ISPM category leader," claims Roel Reijnen, lead investor at TIN Capital.
