About Kynosure

Your guiding star in compliance

Kynosure — from the Greek kynosoura, an ancient name for Polaris, the North Star. For centuries, navigators looked to Polaris to find their way.

We help compliance teams navigate the complexity of regulatory frameworks with the same clarity. Templates, assessments, and guidance that keep you on course.

Our mission

To make compliance achievable for regulated teams of all sizes. We believe that robust security and governance practices should be accessible—structured, clear, and audit-ready.

What we do

One guided assessment that returns readiness scores and a cross-framework gap register — across eight European frameworks, in a single run.

Unified assessment

One guided run scores your posture against eight European frameworks at once — NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 42001, ISO 27701, CRA, EU AI Act.

Three readiness scores

FCI (compliance), WMI (weighted maturity), ECI (evidence coverage) — three angles on where you stand, not one blurry percentage.

Severity-ranked gap register

Every gap mapped to every applicable framework control, sorted by audit risk. Sector-profiled to your industry.

Methodology-backed PDF

An exportable compliance report grounded in framework text and cross-framework control mapping — not a templated checklist.

The constellation

Every product is named after a real constellation—each chosen for its symbolic connection to what that product does.

Our values

Clarity

Compliance is complex enough. We make it understandable—clear documentation, structured processes, straightforward guidance.

Every template, every assessment, every recommendation is grounded in real framework requirements and audit expectations.

Trust

We handle sensitive compliance data. Security, privacy, and auditability are built into everything we do.

Who builds Kynosure

Senior Security Consultant

Kynosure is built by a Senior Security Consultant with 15+ years of experience in cybersecurity and enterprise governance. The certifications — CISM, CRISC, CGEIT — sit alongside Lead Auditor qualifications for ISO 27001 (information security management), ISO 22301 (business continuity), and ISO 42001 (AI management systems).

Operational background includes multi-framework compliance programs for regulated organisations in financial services, healthcare, and the public sector. Specialisation areas include quantum-safe security, a niche covered in Italy by very few certified professionals.

Kynosure was born from years of field consulting: European SMEs in scope for NIS2, DORA, and the EU AI Act can't afford a separate assessment per framework. Pyxis is the answer — one assessment, eight frameworks, methodology-backed.
