Scale
Nationwide
Project goals:
- Build sustainable cybersecurity infrastructure for Ukrainian SMEs.
- Create a marketplace platform connecting SMEs with cyber service providers.
- Issue 100–150 vouchers to finance business cyber protection.
- Ensure the legal, financial and technical compliance of programme implementation.
About the project:
The project creates a sustainable cybersecurity ecosystem for SMEs, which are vulnerable to cyber threats and have limited resources to counter them. The mechanism is the issuance of vouchers of $3,000–5,000 each, which businesses use to pay for the services of authorized providers (cyber audits, etc.). The programme envisages issuing around 100–150 vouchers over the year.
After a successful pilot phase, the platform may evolve into a full-fledged marketplace for businesses to independently purchase cyber services without grant support.
