Cerbos named among UK's most ground-breaking new businesses

Startups 100, the UK’s longest-running index of disruptive new startups, has unveiled its 2025 edition, and Cerbos proudly ranks 30th on the list!

Run by the UK’s website for entrepreneurs, Startups.co.uk, the Startups 100 offers a showcase of new businesses that demonstrate innovation, solid financials, opportunity in their market, a great concept, and a strong customer base or following. The list has previously identified brands including Monzo, Deliveroo and HelloFresh.

To feature, all businesses in the index had to have launched in the last 5 years, be UK-based, and be privately owned (at the time of entering). The winners of the Startups 100 Index are chosen by a specialist panel of judges.

At Cerbos, we’re on a mission to simplify the implementation and management of fine-grained access control, saving developers months of time while enhancing security. Our solution makes access control transparent, flexible, and easy to adapt to evolving requirements. With tools for authoring, testing, and deploying policies, Cerbos integrates seamlessly into any tech stack. It empowers teams to decouple authorization from application silos, makes it reusable by all software code written in any language, and seamlessly scales from prototype to global deployment.

Editor of Startups.co.uk, Zohra Huda, comments:

“Amidst the gloom-and-doom headlines, our annual Startups 100 Index provides a much-needed jolt of optimism. These 100 companies, a diverse list of innovators from every sector and region, show that the grit and ingenuity of entrepreneurship is still very much alive. Despite the challenges, the UK is still a fertile ground for disruption and world-leading technologies, and these companies will be leading the charge to recovery and growth in 2025.”

We’re proud to stand alongside other remarkable businesses and look forward to continuing to drive innovation and growth in the years to come!
