Hamburg-based Secjur, a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions provider, has received investment from Prague-based Look AI Ventures to further enhance its AI-driven compliance platform. Founded in 2018 by Niklas Hanitsch, Secjur focuses on automating compliance processes for mid-sized businesses in areas such as data privacy, information security, whistleblowing, anti-money laundering, and supply chain management.

The funding will be utilized to advance Secjur’s Digital Compliance Office, which integrates AI automation with expert insights to make compliance management efficient and cost-effective. The platform features intuitive user interfaces and robust tools for tasks such as risk modeling in information security.

Hanitsch described the partnership as a strategic step in Secjur’s mission to revolutionize compliance automation. He said that he sees Look AI Ventures as a key strategic partner in our journey to becoming a category-defining company in the world of compliance automation, and that since the startup’s founding, they have made significant progress and aim to accelerate the pace in the coming year.

Look AI Ventures joins other notable investors, including Visionaries Club and business angels such as Mario Götze and Nico Rosberg. Secjur already serves prominent clients, including Samsung, Mercedes Benz, Tomorrow Banking, and 1KOMMA5°, reflecting its growing influence in the GRC sector.

Angelo Burgarello, Partner at Look AI Ventures, praised Secjur’s approach, stating their highly automated platform not only simplifies obtaining and maintaining compliance certifications but also brings scalability to a traditionally consultancy-driven business.

This funding positions Secjur to expand its market presence and continue innovating in compliance automation, leveraging AI to meet the growing complexity of regulatory requirements.
