Geordie AI delivers continuous understanding, control, and assurance of agent context and behavior across code, endpoints, and applications.

Picari helps security teams run structured software evaluations — from requirements and shortlist through to POC and final decision. Today, most security evaluations are fragmented across spreadsheets, docs, Slack threads, and endless vendor demos. Picari gives security teams one place to define criteria, compare contenders on evidence, involve stakeholders, and make faster, more defensible decisions – Anne‑Marie Mera (Co-Founder)

WhatsExposed provides CREST-certified offensive security and continuous exposure management, delivered through a single SaaS platform that is built for partners to white-label and for organisations to use for remediation as findings are identified – Elena Donea (CEO & Founder )
