heyData, a compliance technology company focused on simplifying IT security and regulatory processes, announced the closing of a $16.5 million Series A funding round led by Riverside Acceleration Capital (RAC). Founded to make compliance intuitive and automated for all teams, heyData challenges the traditional view of compliance as a complex, expensive burden and instead delivers tools that integrate seamlessly into daily workflows.
Unifying IT Security and Compliance
The new funding accelerates the development of an all-in-one compliance platform that merges IT security with regulatory requirements on a modular basis. Expansion plans include adding more compliance frameworks and deeper integrations to automate as many manual tasks as possible. The company aims to scale its proven solution beyond the DACH region to serve more businesses across Europe, helping them maintain trust through simple, scalable compliance.
Designing Compliance for Modern Teams
"We’re building heyData for the reality of modern business. This round gives us the fuel to bring IT security and compliance together in one place, so you can stop coordinating tasks and start feeling in control," said Miloš Djurdjević, co-founder of heyData.
Daniel Deutsch emphasized the goal to reduce friction throughout the compliance journey: "Our goal is for compliance to stop feeling like an 'extra' project and start feeling like a clean, natural process. We’re investing this capital into reducing friction – more automation and more clarity, from your first setup all the way to the audit."
Compliance as a Scalable Trust Signal
Martin Bastius highlighted the importance of compliance as a trust signal: "Compliance is a badge of trust. We want to ensure you can prove that trust to your customers at any time, with a system that grows as fast as you do."
heyData expressed gratitude to its customers, partners, and investors for their support and feedback, reaffirming commitment to making compliance a straightforward and integral part of business operations.
