Compyl is a New York-based technology company founded in 2020 that builds an end-to-end information security and compliance automation platform, specializing in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC).[1][2][3] The platform aggregates data from multiple organizational sources into a single pane of glass, providing services like risk management, policy and contract management, IT asset management, vendor management, and support for various security and privacy frameworks, all enhanced by AI and large language models for automation and insights.[1][2][5][6] It serves organizations at any security maturity stage—from startups building foundations to enterprises optimizing programs—solving the problem of fragmented tools that leave teams uncertain about their security posture ("Are we secure?").[2][3][4] Currently at Seed VC-II stage with a Mosaic Score up 38 points recently, Compyl employs 11-50 people (around 35 reported), generates about $7.4 million in revenue, and maintains strong early traction, including retaining initial customers built for during development.[1][3][4]
Compyl was founded in 2020 by Stas Bojoukha and Simon Shaddock, both former Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) who spotted a critical gap in GRC tools while in executive roles.[1][2][3][4] Frustrated by the "patchwork" of single-purpose tools that made it impossible to holistically answer C-suite questions like "What's our risk landscape?" or "Are we exceeding thresholds?", they launched from Brooklyn (now with an office in downtown Manhattan, NY) to deliver a unified, expert-designed platform.[2][3][4] The idea crystallized from Bojoukha's hands-on experience; they even built an early version for a client who's remained a customer, validating demand amid the pandemic's startup challenges.[4] This CISO-led origin humanizes Compyl as a practitioner-built solution, evolving from intimate industry knowledge into a hybrid-work team focused on integrity and impact.[2]
Compyl stands out in the crowded GRC and cybersecurity space through these key strengths:
Compyl rides the exploding demand for AI-augmented GRC amid rising cyber threats, regulatory pressures, and talent shortages, where organizations must scale security with fewer resources.[1][4] Timing is ideal post-2020, as pandemic-accelerated digital transformation amplified risks, evolving cybersecurity from reactive (e.g., SIEM, vulnerability scans) to proactive, continuous automation—Compyl's "single pane of glass" directly addresses this shift.[1][4] Market forces like GenAI integration favor it over legacy patchwork solutions from competitors (e.g., Encore.io, Assuria, Arctic Wolf), enabling efficiency and revenue growth in sectors like finance and tech.[1][4] By empowering IT/security teams, Compyl influences the ecosystem, helping startups and enterprises maintain robust programs, reduce uncertainty, and focus on growth in a threat landscape where C-suites demand quantifiable risk insights.[2][4]
Compyl is poised for accelerated growth, likely targeting Series A expansion by leveraging its AI edge to capture more mid-market and enterprise GRC spend, with trends like advancing GenAI (e.g., deeper automation for incidents/BCPs) and stricter global regs (e.g., evolving privacy frameworks) as tailwinds.[1][2][4][6] Its CISO roots and early revenue signal strong product-market fit, potentially evolving influence from niche automator to GRC category leader as cyber talent gaps widen and AI matures. Watch for partnerships deepening integrations and geographic push beyond NY—Compyl's unified clarity could redefine "secure" for a fragmented market, turning pervasive uncertainty into scalable confidence.[2][4]
Compyl has raised $12.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $12.0M Series A in June 2025.
