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. "
