Definition:Dattak
🏢 Dattak is a French cyber-focused insurtech wholesale broker founded in December 2021 and headquartered in Paris, registered with ORIAS as a courtier under ACPR supervision. The company raised €18M in venture funding across a €7M seed round in June 2022 led by XAnge and an €11M Series A in August 2023 with Breega and Bpifrance, and distributes cyber insurance exclusively through a broker network supported by a fully digital quoting and binding platform. Co-founded by Charlotte Couallier (CEO), Damien Damamme (CTO), and Benoît Grouchko, Dattak reported approximately 1,000 policyholders and €10M in premiums placed in 2024, with a target of €22M by end-2025.
🛡️ Products and services. Dattak's core cyber insurance covers malicious intrusion, human error, ransomware, business interruption, IT outages (including provider failures), and social engineering fraud, supported by an internal 24/7 CERT with under-two-minute average intervention time and no deductible on incident response. The firm expanded into professional liability with a combined Cyber + RC Pro contract offering mutualized ceilings up to €10M for RC Pro and €5M for cyber, and markets a bundled MDR offering (EDR plus managed SOC) that claims 30 percent average premium reductions for participating insureds. A proprietary prevention suite branded Dattak Défense provides attack surface scanning, phishing simulation, advanced audits, and penetration testing exclusively to insureds.
📈 Capacity and expansion. Dattak's carrier and reinsurer panel includes Wakam, Sompo, SCOR, Hannover Re, Chaucer, Hamilton, and Envelop Risk, with per-risk capacity growing from €2M in mid-2023 to €5M by early 2024 and client revenue ceilings expanding progressively to €2bn. Geographic expansion beyond France includes Luxembourg and Belgium, with EEA cross-border notification evidence and a named BeLux expansion lead. Key risk factors center on capacity renewal dependency, systemic cyber event aggregation exposure, ransomware governance transparency, and execution risk in both geographic and product-line expansion.
