Germany-based Secfix has secured USD 12 million in a Series A funding round to extend its AI-driven security compliance platform across Europe.
Following the Funding Announcement
Secfix, a Germany-based security compliance platform, recently closed an oversubscribed USD 12 million Series A financing round led by Alstin Capital. Bayern Kapital and existing investor neosfer, an early-stage investor of the Commerzbank Group, also participated in this funding. The capital is anticipated to drive the company’s European expansion and further development of its AI-powered capabilities and CISO-as-a-Service services.
Simplifying Compliance Challenges
Secfix was established to tackle the resource-intensive nature of compliance processes, which typically necessitate months of manual effort and can impede commercial opportunities for European companies. The platform is aimed at small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) seeking to streamline their certification procedures.
As Secfix customers completed initial certifications, there was an increasing need for ongoing support beyond the certification phase. In response, the company expanded its offering into a comprehensive end-to-end platform that integrates automation with an AI-powered CISO-as-a-Service model. This now covers continuous monitoring, incident management, security questionnaires, gap assessments, policy reviews, access management, cloud security scanning, and penetration testing, alongside broader security support.
Navigating Regulatory Challenges
The funding comes at a time when European organizations are facing heightened regulatory demands. New frameworks such as NIS2, DORA, and the EU AI Act are expanding compliance requirements across industries, placing additional operational burdens on mid-sized businesses that may lack dedicated security or legal teams. Secfix’s combined automation and advisory approach is positioned to address these challenges by leveraging audit experience and cybersecurity expertise to support companies at various stages of their compliance journey.
The company official mentioned that the platform was originally designed to help businesses achieve certification more efficiently, but it has since evolved into a long-term security and compliance partner for customers. The Series A funds will be used to continue European expansion, develop AI-powered automation further, and scale the CISO-as-a-Service offering in response to growing mid-market demand.
The oversubscription of the round reflects investor interest in the compliance automation sector during a period when regulatory complexity is increasing across the EU.
