Market Overview
The global cyber governance, risk and compliance (GRC) market continues to grow,
driven by the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks, a
tightening regulatory environment including NIS2, CMMC and NYDFS requirements,
and growing board-level accountability for cyber risk management.
The board believes the mid-market segment remains significantly underserved.
Larger enterprises typically deploy complex, expensive GRC platforms from
established vendors, whilst mid-sized organisations with 1,000 to 5,000
employees have historically lacked access to purpose-built cyber risk management
tools, often relying on spreadsheets or generic compliance solutions.
This dynamic presents a significant market opportunity for Acuity’s product
suite, which is purpose-built to serve both the public sector and the commercial
mid-market.
New product launched
STREAM® Cloud
In March 2026, the Group launched STREAM® Cloud, a SaaS version of the proven
STREAM® platform designed for mid-market commercial organisations. STREAM® Cloud
features fast, easy onboarding for both direct customers and channel partners to
deploy the product with minimal support from Acuity. The product represents the
Group’s first purpose-built product for the private sector mid-market. The first
prospects are in the pipeline and it has already unlocked a potentially
significant channel partner opportunity.
This strengthens the Group’s cybersecurity offering which also comprises STREAM®
Classic, a flexible and highly configurable software solution; and Vendor
Management Hub (VMH) an entry level product which protects a user’s systems from
cyber attacks inadvertently introduced by trusted third parties.
David Rajakovich, Chief Executive of Acuity, commented:
«The past twelve months have been transformational for Acuity. We have
fundamentally restructured the cost base and returned the operating company to
profitability for two consecutive quarters. Our public sector and defence
revenue base remains strong and predictable, with recurring subscription
revenues representing 86% of total.
We will increasingly deploy artificial intelligence across our operations, from
product functionality to marketing and internal processes. This means that as we
grow, we expect to do so with a significantly lower cost per incremental pound
of revenue than has historically been the case.
The launch of STREAM® Cloud in March opens up the private sector mid-market for
the first time, an underserved segment where boards increasingly need to
demonstrate their approach to managing cyber risk. It has also already provided
a strong partnership opportunity.
The Group’s priorities for the remainder of 2026 are to increase sales and the
sales pipeline, build commercial traction for STREAM® Cloud, continue
development of its next-generation AI-native product, and further leverage
artificial intelligence to drive operational efficiency. »
