Shujinko raises $7.5M Series A funding to simply and automate cloud compliance for companies
Shujinko’s approach unifies cloud compliance know-how with automation to make compliance and audits fast and easy for CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs. Shujinko helps its customers confidently prepare for an audit by automating the vast majority of the technical controls and documentation that historically takes companies thousands of hours to complete. Using Shujinko, customers can achieve SOC 2 compliance in AWS in a matter of days compared to months, and without consuming thousands of hours of critical people time for compliance.
“The current way our customers prepare for their audits is antiquated, time-consuming, and painful,” said Scott Schwan, CEO, and co-founder of Shujinko. “We are building software to simplify and automate compliance in the cloud, enabling our customers to save thousands of hours, and accelerating cloud compliance to match the speed of modern cloud development.”
Founded by cloud compliance experts, Scott Schwan and Matt Wells, who have led large scale audits at companies like Starbucks, Tommy Bahama, Taco Bell, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Red Lobster, Shujinko’s mission is to help customers get to market faster by leveraging its SaaS platform to construct secure and compliant cloud environments while simultaneously providing line of sight for their customers’ IT audits.
“There’s no better team to solve the increasing regulations and compliance demands facing cloud-based enterprises,” said John Vrionis, managing partner, Unusual Ventures. “Scott and Matt have experienced the pain of building and maintaining compliance for large retailers—like Starbucks— firsthand and as builders, have a keen understanding of the product that is very much needed in the market. The execution and traction that the Shujinko team has achieved in a year is impressive and we’re excited to continue to partner with them during their next phase of growth.”
