secjur governs compliance with AI
secjur was founded in 2018 by Niklas Hanitsch, Manuel Stahl, Simon Pentzien and Sven Moritz. The startup tackles the issues of data protection and compliance, which represent a major challenge for many companies. Areas of responsibility include regulatory issues, data protection, information security, anti-money laundering and whistleblowing. To address these tasks, secjur has developed a "Digital Compliance Office," an automation platform based on artificial intelligence (AI).
Customers secjur has already convinced of its AI solution include Mercedes Benz, Samsung, Yunex Traffic, 1KOMMA5°, MediaMarkt Saturn, Pantaflix, Klitschko Ventures and Tomorrow Bank. Until now, the startup, which has grown to nearly 50 employees, has gotten by without outside capital. With the fresh money, it wants to further expand its platform and strengthen its market activities in the DACH region and beyond.
