Saporo, LegalPass and Tyma Health get FIT boost

Cybersecurity is a multi-challenge business: it only takes one vulnerability for a hacker to attack an organisation, while a defender needs to protect all potential attack paths to safeguard their environment. By identifying their cybersecurity vulnerabilities, Saporo enables organisations to stay one step ahead of hackers. To do this, the application tests organisations' attack surface and the relationships between assets, users and computers against millions of threat scenarios. The technology continuously and contextually quantifies the security impact and exploitability of systems configurations. Saporo can then measure how much effort would be required for attackers to compromise resources. This allows organizations to identify and prioritize paths that attackers could take in various attacks like ransomware. 

With the CHF 200,000 from FIT, Saporo cofounders Olivier and Guillaume Eyries plan to recruit more developers and researchers, as well as file its official patent application. Earlier this year the company close a USD 2.7M round to take business cyberesistance to the next level. 

Supporting affordable access to law and mental health care 

Due to the complexity and cost of defending a legal case, many people do not pursue their rights. As a result, only 35% of people facing a legal problem have access to legal advice. LegalPass assesses the problems of individuals and SMEs with the help of a virtual legal assistant to guide them towards the most appropriate solution for their situation. In simple cases, a customized legal document generator is offered and for more complex cases, the assistant directs users to partner lawyers, working at an advantageous rate. The CHF 20'000 Digital Grant will be used in combination with other funding to set up an option to connect clients and lawyers, to install an online consultation booking system and to integrate a suitable payment system. 

Many employees are affected by mental health problems and at the same time companies suffer from reduced employee absenteeism and high mental health costs.

The CHF 20'000 Digital Grant will contribute to the development of processes, therapeutic programs with psychiatrists and coaches, and finalize the application.
