Securing €15 million in Series A funding, Formalize, formerly known as Whistleblower Software, has declared a major milestone.

This funding is a crucial step in their ambitions to expand and rebrand. Leading the financial infusion is BlackFin Tech, a significant participant in the investing community that has a close eye on the rapidly expanding compliance technology market.

 

Formalize provides a cutting-edge compliance operations platform with the goal of reducing the regulatory obligations that firms in the European Union must bear. The complicated and time-consuming nature of compliance has resulted from the severe regulatory environment in the EU, devoting resources away from fundamental company objectives. By automating and streamlining compliance procedures, Formalize's technology makes it possible to comply with regulations in a more secure and effective manner.

 

The recently obtained cash will be used to increase the platform's functionality and user base. Formalize seeks to lessen the labor-intensive parts of regulatory adherence by automating large chunks of the compliance workflow. This action puts the organization in a position to lead the charge in making compliance a less intimidating process for businesses, in addition to offering improved security and customization possibilities for its users.

 

Formalize's development from a platform for whistleblowers to an all-inclusive compliance suite is evidence of its flexibility and expansion. The business's annual recurring income and headcount have grown significantly since its previous investment in November 2022. Now known as "Whistleblower Software by Formalize," the whistleblower platform has emerged as a market leader, providing services to more than five million workers worldwide via alliances with more than 500 consultants, including major players in the field like PwC and Baker McKenzie.

 

Formalize plans to automate compliance duties for standards like as GDPR, NIS2, ISO27001, and SOC2 with the launch of its compliance platform. The company's dedication to becoming the preferred supplier of compliance software in Europe is demonstrated by this entry into the data compliance market.

 

"The standard approach to compliance is no longer sustainable due to the increased data compliance regulations from the EU." Founder and CEO Jakob Lilholm emphasized the vital nature of Formalize's mission in the current regulatory climate. "By automating large parts of the compliance processes, Formalize can help companies ease the work without compromising security and the ability to customize the platform to the company's specific needs," Lilholm said.
