OneClickComply, a cyber security compliance startup, has raised £1m in seed funding. The round includes investment from the North East Accelerate Fund, which is managed by Mercia Ventures, and from the Venture Sunderland Fund and Northstar EIS Growth Fund, which are both managed by Northstar Ventures.
OneClickComply provides a platform that can automate up to 90% of the work involved in achieving standards such as Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 or SOC 2. The platform continuously monitors IT systems, automates processes such as penetration testing and vulnerability management, generates policies and gathers information for auditors. Security settings across programs such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and AWS can be automatically configured with a single click, replacing what is otherwise a labour-intensive manual process. Once certification has been achieved, the platform detects and fixes issues that arise to ensure ongoing compliance.
OneClickComply launched in 2024 after founder Connor Greig recognised the need to simplify cyber compliance in his previous role working with businesses within the Octopus Group. The business now employs 12 staff and serves dozens of customers ranging from a leading fast food brand to solo traders. Monthly recurring revenue has doubled in the past six months, with the business aiming to achieve similar growth in the six months ahead.
The latest funding brings total investment in OneClickComply to over £2.4m. New capital will be used to further enhance the technology, boost sales and customer service and create four new jobs.
Every business now gets asked to prove its systems are secure, usually by a customer who’s about to sign. The answer shouldn’t be three months and a consultant. We automate 90% of the work, fix the issues we find instead of just reporting them, and keep everything in place afterwards, which is the part everyone forgets about. That’s why we’ve doubled revenue in six months - because this problem isn't going anywhere.
OneClickComply offers a unique value proposition through its ability to automatically detect and remediate data compliance issues without the need for specialist intervention. This investment will support the company’s continued growth, enabling it to capitalise on the increasing demand for automated compliance solutions driven by strong regulatory and market tailwinds.
We’re very pleased to support OneClickComply with further investment from our Venture Sunderland Fund and EIS Growth Fund. The business has grown significantly since our initial investment and it is tapping into an increasingly complex compliance and cyber security market where the risks of a breach or non-compliance are continuously rising. Congratulations to Connor and the team.
It's great to see OneClickComply, a Sunderland-based business, secure investment to support its continued growth. We're proud to support businesses across Sunderland and the wider North East, and help companies like OneClickComply grow and create new opportunities in the region.
