YFM invests in DynaRisk
HMT LLP advised YFM Equity Partners on their £3 million investment in DynaRisk, a cyber intelligence SaaS company helping insurers protect their consumer and SME policyholders from digital threats.
Through a combination of threat intelligence, real-time monitoring and multilingual 24/7 support, DynaRisk empowers insurers to deliver more value to their customers—while improving underwriting, increasing engagement and reducing loss ratios. Its core product suite includes vulnerability scanning, dark web monitoring, cyber hygiene scoring, and tailored incident response.
Founded in 2016 by cybersecurity specialist Andrew Martin, DynaRisk is now supporting over 25 insurance clients globally—including Hiscox, Chubb, Beazley and Gallagher—and covers around 2.4 million consumers and 800,000 SMEs across EMEA, North America and APAC.
YFM Equity Partners identified DynaRisk as a market-leading player in the fast-growing cyber insurance space. As cybercrime becomes one of the most pressing global threats, insurers are under pressure to offer smarter protection—yet many still lack the tools to deliver scalable, effective cyber support to their customers.
DynaRisk fills this gap with a proven, enterprise-grade platform that has already demonstrated strong traction with major insurers. The business is led by a visionary founder with deep industry expertise, and has recently appointed experienced InsurTech entrepreneur Phil Zeidler as Chair to support its next stage of growth.
The HMT team provided financial due diligence on this transaction.
“DynaRisk is tackling one of the most urgent challenges facing the insurance sector with a proven, scalable solution. The business has already built strong traction with major insurers and is well placed to lead the market as demand for embedded cyber protection grows. As usual, HMT’s team provided clear analysis and insight giving us the confidence to complete the investment.”
Matt Gordon-Smith, Investment Director at YFM
Paul Read commented:
“We are delighted to have advised YFM on their investment in DynaRisk. YFM brings more than just capital into their portfolio companies and their strategic insight will enable DynaRisk to reach their ambitious growth targets. We look forward to working with both YFM and the business in the future.”
