Laika Raises $50M for its End-to-End Compliance Platform That Enables Companies of All Sizes to Win Business in the Enterprise Market

The largest organizations (1000+ employees) on average use at least 177 SaaS applications to run various parts of their operations.  Each of these integrations represents a potential security risk as organizations entrust third-party vendors with sensitive data.  This information security concern is addressed through SOC2, an auditing protocol built on five key principles to ensure vendors are appropriately managing and protecting the customer data and the data of their clients.  Laika is an end-to-end compliance platform that enables software and tech providers to be fully compliant with all requirements through automation.  In addition to SOC2, the platform also handles ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA requirements, making it versatile across a broad array of industry users. Compliance with enterprise requirements can be a daunting proposition for smaller providers that don’t have the internal resources to dedicate to compliance teams but absolutely critical if these companies want to sell into larger organizations.  Laika allows companies of all sizes to offload this burden with an industry-leading and secure solution that brings down the cost of compliance and also is powerful enough to offer continuous monitoring as organizations scale, coupled with expert guidance along the way. AlleyWatch caught up with Laika Founder and Co-CEO Austin Ogilvie to learn more about the business, the company's strategic plans, latest round of funding, which brings the total funding raised to $98M, and much, much more...
