Aaron DobronBusiness development · USAHow Cryptera started
Running regulated payments, we saw the same pattern: security teams drowned in findings while attackers moved faster. We built Cryptera so agents do the finding, fixing and verifying, and senior people stay in control of every approval. It runs on Benchmarked’s Venture OS and is co-operated by the group.
Trusted by operators. Built by the same group.
Clients and partners of the Benchmarked group, and the ventures we built and still run.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cryptera a tool or a service?
A service. The AI runs autonomously, our team watches it 24/7, and you get outcomes and evidence, not another dashboard to staff.
Who is behind Cryptera?
Cryptera is a Benchmarked company, built by the same team that scaled $1.2B+ in regulated payments and runs 10+ ventures, led by an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor.
Where is our data processed?
In your cloud, a designated EU region or air-gapped. Models are swappable and never trained on your data.
How fast can we start?
A free 30-day scan starts within a week. Guard goes live in days; 24/7 managed security in about four weeks.
Who approves fixes?
Your engineers. Agents write and verify the fix; a human signs off before anything ships.
