## Executive Summary

Panorays rates a company's suppliers from the outside and questions them from the inside, selling both to security teams as one third-party risk workflow. Panorays says its scoring is calibrated against a large population of companies. On its account, every new test runs first in hidden mode across the tens of thousands of companies in its database, and researchers set the test's weight from how that population scores. Panorays then gives many of the resulting company security reports away for free and without registration, so a buyer can read its assessment of a supplier before talking to sales. The performance percentages Panorays leads with are its own measurements, and its 2026 Leader placement reaches this record only in its own announcement, so both rest on its own word.

## Market Readiness

How well the company can compete in its security market, scored across eight dimensions against public evidence.

**Established (27/40)**

Analyzed 2026-08-20. Scope: whole company.

| Dimension | Score | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Problem Clarity | 3/5 | Panorays names its buyer and states the problem precisely, that a security team must vouch for suppliers it does not run, and the European Banking Authority independently records the DORA register obligation that financial entities in its scope now carry. The figures that size the pain are the company's own, so the problem is clear while its magnitude is vendor-asserted. \[[s11](#profile-analysis-sources), [s19](#profile-analysis-sources), [s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s2](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Capability Depth | 4/5 | The methodology page sets out the mechanism in specifics: asset discovery from a company's primary domain, hundreds of tests across three named layers, a 0-100 rating, and test weights tuned against the population in its database. BankInfoSecurity's May 2024 report on Forrester's evaluation is the independent validation point, placing Panorays in the leaders' space while naming four product criticisms, among them no native risk quantification and unpublished ratings performance metrics. \[[s2](#profile-analysis-sources), [s4](#profile-analysis-sources), [s26](#profile-analysis-sources), [s3](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Market Timing | 3/5 | Two independent enablers are documented: the European Banking Authority records the DORA register requirement taking effect in January 2025, and Forrester's April 2026 note is the most recent analyst read of demand. That note expects the influence of ratings to diminish rather than grow, which holds this at the present-but-unproven level. \[[s19](#profile-analysis-sources), [s7](#profile-analysis-sources), [s18](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Team Credibility | 3/5 | All three co-founders still hold executive roles a decade after founding, CTech reported their background in Israeli military technology units, and Imperva co-founder Amichai Shulman and former Palo Alto Networks chief executive Lane Bess are listed among the backers. The reviewed sources record no prior exit and no independent profile of the wider bench. \[[s9](#profile-analysis-sources), [s15](#profile-analysis-sources), [s22](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| GTM Proof | 4/5 | Panorays' resource sitemap lists 24 customer case studies, two of them anonymised, and its homepage quotes two customers by name and title. SiliconANGLE's independent 2019 reporting named eight organizations as customers, while the performance percentages beside them are the company's own measurements, which keeps this below the independently corroborated level. \[[s25](#profile-analysis-sources), [s24](#profile-analysis-sources), [s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s16](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Funding Efficiency | 3/5 | Two funding databases put the total at $62 million and date a further 33N Ventures round to 2023, so the September 2021 Series B is not the final round, and Tracxn masks the amount even there. The efficiency figures in the record are the 400% revenue growth SiliconANGLE reported in December 2019 and the 94% expense saving it recorded as the company's claim, so output per dollar is dated rather than currently confirmed. \[[s17](#profile-analysis-sources), [s27](#profile-analysis-sources), [s28](#profile-analysis-sources), [s8](#profile-analysis-sources), [s21](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Category Clarity | 4/5 | Third parties place the company without vendor coaching: SecurityWeek calls it a third-party risk management solutions provider, Forrester ran a named evaluation of this market in the second quarter of 2026, and Wikipedia describes the same three-pronged approach. Its Leader placement in that 2026 evaluation reaches the record only through its own announcement, which keeps this short of category-defining. \[[s14](#profile-analysis-sources), [s18](#profile-analysis-sources), [s22](#profile-analysis-sources), [s21](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |
| Incumbent Defensibility | 3/5 | The accumulated test population and the program state a customer builds up, including a supplier inventory, questionnaire history and a year of rating changes, give a platform vendor something to catch up to. Forrester's analyst wrote in April 2026 that these platforms are being redesigned into full third-party risk management products rather than standing alone as ratings. \[[s2](#profile-analysis-sources), [s3](#profile-analysis-sources), [s7](#profile-analysis-sources), [s12](#profile-analysis-sources), [s18](#profile-analysis-sources)\] |

### Business Risks

- Forrester's analyst wrote in April 2026 that buyers will value the intelligence behind a rating more than the rating itself, and the reviewed record documents Panorays' threat intelligence as dark web monitoring, breach and vulnerability alerting, and classified cyber news rather than the research depth that note says will differentiate vendors.
- Tracxn and CB Insights both record a further round led by 33N Ventures in 2023, eleven days apart on the date and labelled Series B by one and Series C by the other, with CB Insights showing the amount masked and Tracxn masking even the 2021 figure, so the capital behind the years since 2021 is undisclosed rather than absent from the record.
- Panorays connects into governance and procurement platforms including Archer, AuditBoard, Diligent and Coupa, and any of those vendors could attach supplier ratings to the workflow their own customers already run.
- The rating rests on public internet data and industry-standard questionnaire templates, so a rival that assembles the same inputs could offer a comparable assessment without licensing anything from Panorays.
- The performance percentages are Panorays' own measurements and its 2026 Leader placement reaches the record only through its own announcement, so independent corroboration of how the product was evaluated runs through BankInfoSecurity's May 2024 report of the previous Wave rather than the current one.

### Problem & Market

Panorays sells to the security team that has to vouch for suppliers it does not run. The platform assesses a supplier from the outside, sends that supplier a questionnaire, and weighs both against how critical the relationship is. Panorays aims its free report page at CISOs, vendor risk managers, chief risk officers and third-party risk teams.

The obligation a buyer arrives holding is increasingly written down. The European Banking Authority records that the Digital Operational Resilience Act became applicable on 17 January 2025, and that financial entities in scope need a comprehensive register of their contractual arrangements with technology suppliers. Panorays sells DORA support against that regime, including a register-of-information export and DORA questionnaire templates, offered as an add-on to its assessment and monitoring tiers and unavailable on its inventory tier.

Forrester's analyst for this market described buyers moving past the score itself in April 2026. He wrote then that third-party cybersecurity risk management is the dominant future use case, and that vendors are redesigning these platforms into full third-party risk products for security audiences. \[[s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s11](#profile-analysis-sources), [s19](#profile-analysis-sources), [s7](#profile-analysis-sources), [s18](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Product Capabilities

The assessment starts from one domain and works outward. Panorays discovers a company's publicly reachable assets from a single starting asset, then runs hundreds of tests across three layers it labels Network and IT, Application and Human. It says an initial assessment typically completes within hours, after which the rating updates as the company's external footprint changes.

Questionnaires are the inside half of the same assessment. Customers build them from SIG, CAIQ or their own templates, set the weight of each question, and flag some answers as deal-breakers. Panorays compares the answers against the attack surface findings and the vendor's external documents, then turns the gaps into remediation tasks.

Risk DNA is where the two halves meet. The rating combines attack surface findings, questionnaire results, breach history and threat intelligence with the customer's own criticality, data sensitivity and risk-appetite settings, so two customers assessing the same supplier can land on different numbers.

Test weights come from the population rather than from the researcher alone. Panorays says every new test is first deployed in hidden mode to collect data from the tens of thousands of companies in its database, and that the results tune the test's severity and weight. Its worked example is DNSSEC, where 97% of companies had none. \[[s2](#profile-analysis-sources), [s3](#profile-analysis-sources), [s6](#profile-analysis-sources), [s4](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Competitive Positioning

Panorays argues its case against four named vendors. Its site carries a Compare section listing UpGuard, SecurityScorecard, Bitsight and OneTrust, and its SecurityScorecard page argues that a rating alone is not the product. That page also claims self-hosted AI tools built for cyber risk management, which is the vendor's own characterization.

The independent view of the category is less comfortable. Forrester's Paul McKay wrote in April 2026 that ratings will not fade away overnight, but that their influence will diminish as the intelligence driving risk reduction becomes the primary source of value. He also wrote that vendors demonstrating depth in threat intelligence will be the ones positioned to connect siloed security teams.

Its own placement claim reaches the record one way only. Panorays announces a Leader placement in Forrester's Q2 2026 evaluation on its homepage and blog, and no independent report of that placement appears in the reviewed sources.

The previous evaluation did reach the record independently, and it was mixed. BankInfoSecurity reported in May 2024 that Panorays had climbed into the leaders' space while Black Kite jumped ahead of it for third place on current offering. The same 2024 report records Forrester criticising it for lacking native risk quantification, weaker reporting, unpublished ratings performance metrics and a less differentiated strategic focus. \[[s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s13](#profile-analysis-sources), [s18](#profile-analysis-sources), [s21](#profile-analysis-sources), [s26](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Go-to-Market & Traction

Panorays names customers in volume on its own site, and the independent naming is older. Its resource sitemap lists 24 published case studies, two of which describe the customer without naming it, and the named ones run from Howden Group Holdings and AppsFlyer to ClearBank, Payoneer, WalkMe, Lemonade and Pinsent Masons. Its homepage quotes Carl Johnson, head of IT governance at Howden Group Holdings, and Esther Pinto, information security team leader at AppsFlyer.

SiliconANGLE's December 2019 report on the Series A listed Sompo Holdings, ClearBank, Payoneer, El Al, Clal Insurance, Monday.com, WalkMe and Cimpress as customers, and that is where independent naming of Panorays customers stops in the reviewed record.

The outcome numbers are all the company's own measurements. Its homepage records 99.8% rating accuracy, 80% less vendor onboarding time, 98% third-party response rates, a 55% lower likelihood of breach and 30% of team time saved. No independent measurement of any of those figures appears in the reviewed sources.

Self-serve sits beside the sales motion. Panorays publishes security reports, many of them downloadable without registration, and it offers a free Trust Center profile to any company that wants one. Pricing itself is quote-based, bundled into inventory, assessment and monitoring tiers. \[[s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s25](#profile-analysis-sources), [s24](#profile-analysis-sources), [s16](#profile-analysis-sources), [s14](#profile-analysis-sources), [s11](#profile-analysis-sources), [s7](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Team & Credibility

The three co-founders are still in post. Matan Or-El is chief executive, Meir Antar is chief operating officer and Demi Ben-Ari is chief strategy officer, and CTech reported in 2018 that the founders were three veterans of Israeli military technology units.

Two well-known security operators back the company. Panorays lists Amichai Shulman, Imperva's co-founder and former chief technology officer, and Lane Bess, former chief operating officer of Zscaler and former chief executive of Palo Alto Networks, among its board and investors. The reviewed sources record no prior exit by any of the founders, so a buyer judging the team weighs founder continuity and those two names.

The rest of the executive bench is named but thinly documented. The company page lists a chief financial officer, chief revenue officer, chief customer officer, chief marketing officer and chief technology officer by name, and the reviewed sources carry no independent account of their earlier roles. \[[s9](#profile-analysis-sources), [s15](#profile-analysis-sources), [s22](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

### Trust Readiness

Panorays publishes its own assurance on one page. Its security page records SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the standard for AI management systems, and states that an independent agency runs annual black box and white box penetration testing.

The AI management certification is the one Panorays leads with. Its homepage presents that certification as a market differentiator, which is the company's own characterization, so a buyer takes that differentiation on the company's word rather than from a third-party comparison.

The product also sells trust in the other direction. Its Trust Center gives an assessed company a free shareable profile carrying compliance documents, questionnaire answers and penetration test summaries, so the same platform serves the company being assessed and the company doing the assessing. \[[s8](#profile-analysis-sources), [s1](#profile-analysis-sources), [s10](#profile-analysis-sources)\]

## Strategy Deep Dive

A closer look at the company's product strategy, measuring how [defensible](https://zeltser.com/scoring-security-product-strategy) it is against market forces and examining the [eight areas](https://zeltser.com/security-product-creation-framework) behind it.

### Defensibility

**Contested (14/21)**

Band guidance: reinforce or reposition. Analyzed 2026-08-20. Scope: whole company.

Panorays says it tunes each test against the whole population of companies in its database, and that population is the accumulated part of the product rather than the software around it. The raw material is public internet data and standard questionnaire templates, so a funded rival could collect the same inputs. Certifications, connectors and named references are a credibility floor rather than a barrier. Panorays also publishes many finished company reports for free download, so the engine's output is not exclusive to its customers. What remains is the accumulated test population and the rating history the product sells back to customers, and a rival would have to assemble both for itself.

| Dimension | Score | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Value Delivery | 1/3 | Panorays delivers software the customer's own team runs: the customer configures the questionnaires, sets the weights and decides what to do about a supplier's rating. Panorays also sells expert guidance that maps standards, sets up the program, configures questionnaires, loads suppliers and advises on remediation. \[[s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s3](#deep-dive-sources), [s20](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Switching Cost | 2/3 | A customer accumulates a supplier inventory, questionnaire history and a year of rating changes inside the platform and wires it into governance, contract and procurement systems, which is meaningful friction. The cited record does not size what leaving would cost. \[[s7](#deep-dive-sources), [s12](#deep-dive-sources), [s3](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Compliance Moat | 1/3 | SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 are certifications a funded competitor can obtain through ordinary enterprise-market preparation. The cited record carries no authorization or liability that would block a replacement. \[[s8](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Problem Complexity | 3/3 | Discovering a company's internet-facing estate from a single starting asset, running hundreds of tests across it within hours, and tuning each test's weight against a population of tens of thousands of companies is sustained specialist work. The human layer adds employee exposure signals to the same assessment. \[[s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s4](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Buyer Profile | 3/3 | The evidenced buyers are regulated enterprises and their security functions: Howden Group Holdings' head of IT governance is quoted by name on the vendor's homepage, and SecurityWeek records the company saying its customers include banking, financial services, insurance and healthcare organizations across North America, the European Union and the United Kingdom. \[[s1](#deep-dive-sources), [s14](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Layer | 2/3 | Panorays runs beside the customer's stack rather than under it, pushing supplier risk data into governance, contract lifecycle and procurement systems through its connector catalog. The cited record shows no system that depends on it at runtime. \[[s12](#deep-dive-sources), [s7](#deep-dive-sources)\] |
| Proprietary Data, Content, or IP | 2/3 | The evidenced asset is the assessment record: Panorays states that every new test is deployed in hidden mode first, across the tens of thousands of companies in its database, so researchers can set its weight from how that population scores. It collects that data from public sources and its own probes, and its questionnaires start from industry-standard templates, which makes this an accumulated advantage a funded rival could rebuild rather than an unrepeatable one. \[[s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s3](#deep-dive-sources), [s7](#deep-dive-sources)\] |

### Strategic Market Segmentation

The buyer is the security function inside a company with more suppliers than it can review by hand. Panorays addresses CISOs, vendor risk managers, chief risk officers and third-party risk teams directly on its free report page, and the two customer voices it quotes hold an IT governance and an information security title.

The industry pull is regulated. SecurityWeek records the company saying its customers include banking, financial services, insurance and healthcare organizations in North America, the European Union and the United Kingdom, and the company runs dedicated pages for financial services, healthcare and technology.

Use cases stretch past routine onboarding. The platform is sold for merger and acquisition due diligence, for assessing subsidiaries, and for the DORA register a financial entity has to keep, which is a different budget conversation from a supplier questionnaire. \[[s11](#deep-dive-sources), [s1](#deep-dive-sources), [s14](#deep-dive-sources), [s7](#deep-dive-sources), [s19](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Product Capabilities & AI Advantages

The engineering that took time is the assessment population. Panorays says every new test is deployed in hidden mode first and run across the tens of thousands of companies in its database, so researchers can set the test's severity and weight from how that population scores. Panorays illustrates that tuning with DNSSEC, reporting that 97% of companies carry none.

AI appears in three places, and each is the company's own account. Its comparison page claims self-hosted AI tools built for cyber risk management, its homepage credits AI with uncovering hidden fourth- and nth-party relationships, and the same comparison page says AI drives questionnaire autofill and certification scanning.

The independent read of AI in this market is cooler. Forrester's April 2026 note says only a few vendors demonstrated AI agents taking execution actions inside third-party risk programs, and it places Panorays nowhere in particular, since the note names no vendor. \[[s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s13](#deep-dive-sources), [s1](#deep-dive-sources), [s3](#deep-dive-sources), [s18](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Sales Engagement & Go-to-Market

Panorays runs a sales-led motion with several free doors into it. A free trial, a free Trust Center profile and a library of downloadable security reports all sit ahead of the demo request, and many of those reports need no registration at all.

Comparison pages carry the competitive argument. Panorays publishes them against UpGuard, SecurityScorecard, Bitsight and OneTrust, which is where the company states what it thinks a rating alone fails to do.

The traction evidence is front-loaded in time. The vendor-side naming is plentiful and the independent naming is old. The case-study library runs to 24 studies, while the independent customer list in the record dates to SiliconANGLE's 2019 reporting on the Series A, so a buyer looking for recent third-party confirmation of scale finds little. \[[s11](#deep-dive-sources), [s10](#deep-dive-sources), [s13](#deep-dive-sources), [s25](#deep-dive-sources), [s16](#deep-dive-sources), [s1](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Pricing Model

Pricing is quote-based and bundled by how much assessment a supplier warrants. Panorays sells inventory, assessment and monitoring tiers that a customer mixes across its supplier population, and it states that price follows the risk strategy and the assessment types chosen.

Regulatory support is priced as an extra. The DORA package, including the register-of-information export and DORA questionnaire templates, is listed as an add-on rather than as part of the tiers.

A third commercial line sells the data rather than the workflow. The pricing page offers Data OEM partnerships and alliances, inviting other businesses to use Panorays cyber posture data in their own decisions. \[[s7](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Product Delivery & Operations

Delivery is software the customer's own team operates. Panorays runs the external attack surface assessment without engaging the assessed company, and completes an initial assessment within hours of being given one starting asset.

Panorays staff enter the assessment itself at two documented points. Panorays validates a disputed finding internally within 24 hours before accepting or rejecting it, and its researchers tune each test's severity and weight from the data the hidden-mode run collects.

Professional services span setup and continuing advice. Panorays experts help map which standards apply, stand up the program, configure questionnaires and bulk load suppliers, and the same page offers advice to the customer and the supplier on remediation. \[[s2](#deep-dive-sources), [s20](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Earning Customers' Trust

The company's own assurance is documented on one page and is the ordinary enterprise set. Its security page records SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 42001:2023, and states that an independent agency performs annual black box and white box penetration testing.

The AI management certification is the one Panorays leads with. Its homepage presents that certification as a market differentiator, a characterization no independent source in this record confirms, so a buyer takes the differentiation on the company's word.

Infrastructure sits on a hyperscaler. Panorays reports that its physical infrastructure is hosted and managed on Google Cloud Platform data centers, so the physical controls behind it are Google's rather than its own. \[[s8](#deep-dive-sources), [s1](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Platform Strategy & Ecosystem Positioning

The connectors point at the systems that already hold supplier records. Panorays lists integrations across governance and compliance platforms such as Archer, AuditBoard, Diligent and Drata, contract systems such as DocuSign and Ironclad, and procurement systems such as Coupa and Gatekeeper.

The Trust Center makes the platform two-sided. An assessed company can publish its own compliance documents, questionnaire answers and penetration test summaries on a free profile, which puts suppliers on the platform without a customer relationship.

The data itself is offered as a product. The pricing page lists Data OEM partnerships and alliances alongside the two workflow lines, so the assessment output is offered through partnerships as well as through the platform. \[[s12](#deep-dive-sources), [s10](#deep-dive-sources), [s7](#deep-dive-sources)\]

### Team & Execution Capability

Founder continuity is the strongest team signal in the record. Matan Or-El, Meir Antar and Demi Ben-Ari created the company in 2016 and hold the chief executive, chief operating and chief strategy roles today, and CTech reported that the three came from Israeli military technology units. SecurityWeek describes the company as New York- and Israel-based, and CTech placed it in Tel Aviv at the seed round.

The backers are recognisable names in the same industry. Panorays lists Imperva co-founder Amichai Shulman and Lane Bess, formerly chief operating officer of Zscaler and chief executive of Palo Alto Networks, among its board and investors.

What the record does not carry is a track record beyond this company. No prior exit by any founder and no independent account of the wider executive bench appears in the reviewed sources, so a buyer weighing the team has founder continuity and the named backers to go on. \[[s9](#deep-dive-sources), [s15](#deep-dive-sources), [s14](#deep-dive-sources), [s22](#deep-dive-sources)\]
