The round was led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tincapital.vc\/\">TIN Capital<\/a>, with participation from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gi-de.com\/en\/ventures\">G+D Ventures<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdpventurecapital.it\/en\/cdp_venture_homepage.page\">CDP Venture Capital<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xange.vc\/\">XAnge<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xange.vc\/\">Lightbird VC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.session.ch\/\">Session VC<\/a>. Each investor will support Saporo\u2019s expansion in key European markets, including Northern Europe, Germany and Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saporo, previously recognized as Switzerland\u2019s fastest-growing startup in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporo.io\/fr\/about\/press\/saporo-named-82-on-sifted-250-europe\">Sifted 250<\/a>, has recorded 100% year-on-year growth since its last funding round. The new capital will support enhancements to the company\u2019s remediation workflows, expanded coverage across hybrid identity ecosystems and increased presence in France, Switzerland, Benelux, Germany and Italy, with selective entry into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in Lausanne, Saporo is a market leader in hybrid Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM). Its platform gives defenders the attacker\u2019s view of their identity environment by mapping millions to billions of potential attack paths across Active Directory, Entra ID, AWS, Google Workspace, GitHub and machine identities. Using graph theory, a method the company has employed since its early product generation, Saporo computes the smallest set of changes that deliver the greatest reduction in lateral-movement risk. Customers typically eliminate up to 80% of risky identity paths in the first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The rise of identity-based attacks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Identity-driven breaches now account for roughly 80% of cyber incidents. Analysts estimate that around 85% of intrusions could be mitigated with stronger identity segmentation, yet most organizations continue to struggle with over-permissions, shadow admins and configuration drift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saporo addresses this challenge by continuously monitoring identity changes, enforcing long-term segregation of duties and aligning environments with hardening frameworks such as ANSSI and MITRE. Its technology is increasingly adopted in highly regulated sectors including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, government and technology, with the company reporting customer retention above 140%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saporo employs staff in Switzerland, France and the United States, and plans to expand its R&amp;D, sales and marketing teams throughout 2026. Internal AI tooling has already boosted engineering output by an estimated 30\u201340%, supporting its scale-up trajectory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lausanne-based Saporo
