Growing at pace, Sunderland-based OneClickComply® is leading the way in the burgeoning cyber and information security market. Through highly innovative automation, OneClickComply®’s solution moves beyond merely identifying compliance shortfalls to auto-implementing recommendations literally at a click.

This is all achieved via a platform which can automatically review IT systems, automate processes, collate information and even create company policies. Essential certification in, for example, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 or SOC 2 can be achieved with ease.

The company believe that up to 90% of the labour can be undertaken by its product. The platform works seamlessly with programs like Microsoft 365, AWS and Google Workspace. With the platform’s support, audits are massively simplified, expensive consultants could become a thing of the past and regulatory compliance becomes available to businesses of all types and sizes. Using the platform does not require complicated IT skills and best of all perhaps, the platform provides comprehensive monitoring on an ongoing basis, alerting and fixing issues even after certification has been achieved.

The company has secured investment from the North East Accelerate Fund, managed by Mercia Ventures, and also from two of Northstar Ventures funds, the Venture Sunderland Fund and the Northstar EIS Growth Fund.

Tom O’Neill, Investment Manager, Northstar Ventures, says: “Businesses need effective solutions to the ongoing fight against cyber threats as well as support with evolving regulatory demands. OneClickComply®’s platform is providing an accessible, cost-effective solution to those challenges. We’re very pleased to support the company’s further growth with this additional investment which will also support the generation of high-quality jobs in Sunderland’s growing cyber security cluster, – a key priority at Northstar Ventures.”
