Look AI Ventures partners with Secjur, a Hamburg-based platform enhancing compliance for businesses with AI-powered solutions.
Aligning with our mission to drive innovation in AI technologies, the strategic investment will accelerate the development of Secjur’s comprehensive compliance platform, which addresses critical areas such as data privacy, information security, whistleblowing, anti-money laundering, and supply chain management.
The global compliance automation tools market is set for rapid growth, with projected sales rising from $2,9B in 2024 to $13,4B by 2034. This surge is driven by the growing complexity of regulatory requirements, which are becoming increasingly difficult for businesses to navigate using traditional methods. Manual compliance methods are not only time-consuming but also costly, creating a significant strain on resources, particularly for mid-market companies.
As a result, automation tools are becoming necessary in today’s regulatory landscape, helping firms reduce manual errors, ensuring timely compliance, and avoiding costly penalties.
Secjur addresses these challenges by automating compliance processes and helping businesses implement standards like GDPR, ISO 27001, or NIS2 efficiently and reliably, saving hundreds of hours of manual effort that the process traditionally requires.
Founded in 2018 by entrepreneur and former lawyer Niklas Hanitsch, Secjur combines advanced AI-powered automation with expert legal knowledge, creating a platform that operates as a “productized compliance department.”
What sets Secjur apart is the expertise and effectiveness the team brings to the comprehensive platform. Its core product, the Digital Compliance Office, integrates sophisticated technology with intuitive user interfaces, making compliance management for businesses straightforward.
By bridging the gap between technical complexity and practical application, Secjur provides mid-market businesses with easier and more affordable access to compliance solutions.
Secjur has already established partnerships with several notable clients, including Samsung, Mercedes Benz, Yunex Traffic, Tomorrow Banking, 1KOMMA5°, and others, demonstrating the platform’s versatility and reliability.
“We see Look AI Ventures as a key strategic partner in our journey to becoming a category-defining company in the world of compliance automation. We founded Secjur before the first successful large language models were released, but even then, we recognized the potential of AI-powered compliance automation and designed our database architectures accordingly. Since then, we’ve made significant progress and aim to accelerate our pace in the coming year. That’s why we’re grateful to have a strategic partner to help turn this vision of AI-enabled Compliance Management into reality over the next years,” says Niklas Hanitsch, CEO and founder at Secjur.
The strategic partnership with Look AI Ventures will allow Secjur to develop its AI-driven features further as the company plans to double down on AI use cases such as risk modeling for Information Security Frameworks.
The Czech venture capital fund joins a group of investors alongside Berlin-based Visionaries Club and numerous business angels, including Mario Götze and Nico Rosberg.
“Investing in Secjur is a strategic move to address the increasing complexity of regulatory compliance. Their highly automated platform not only simplifies obtaining and maintaining compliance certifications but also features one of the most powerful compliance backend engines in the market. This engine, built on extensive data and expert feedback, is a valuable asset on its own, bringing scalability to a traditionally consultancy-driven business. Secjur has emerged as a very competitive player in the DACH region, standing out among both automated and traditional compliance providers,” says Angelo Burgarello, Partner at Look AI Ventures.
