Guardz is a holistic cyber security and insurance platform designed for small businesses. Its all-in-one, affordable solution runs 24/7, combining cutting-edge protection with simplicity that works equally well for in-house IT teams and MSPs. The platform continuously monitors a company’s entire digital landscape, detects and remediates risks in real time, and backs it all with cyber insurance for added peace of mind. Founded in 2022 by Dor Eisner and Alon Lavi, along with a team of cyber and insurance experts, Guardz blends innovation and experience to create a safer digital world for small businesses.

Why we invested?

SMBs are one of the largest and most vulnerable attack surfaces, with MSPs serving as their de facto IT departments. Guardz built an all-in-one security and compliance platform designed specifically for MSPs that’s simple, affordable, and insurable. We believed the channel-first approach would outperform fragmented point solutions. Founders Dor Eisner, who led threat intelligence at IntSights (acquired by Rapid7), and Alon Lavi, from Argus Cyber Security (acquired by Continental) and Unit 8200, brought the ideal mix of cyber expertise and practical product building to deliver scalable protection for SMBs. 

In the Founder’s Words

“From the very beginning, Hanaco has shown a rare combination of personal care and professional guidance that every founder hopes to find in an investor. Their commitment goes far beyond capital — they’ve been true partners, offering candid feedback, strategic direction, and hands-on support at every step of our journey. Hanaco’s excitement for our vision is tangible, and their involvement makes them feel like an extension of our team. As we continue to scale rapidly and establish Guardz as a leader in cybersecurity for MSPs and small businesses, we know that much of this success is thanks to Hanaco’s unwavering partnership and belief in us.”
