compliance.Hyperproof wants to provide a single place where companies can undertake their compliance activities
most companies do compliance today in a fairly ad hoc way, relying on technology like spreadsheets to track tasks, and email to make
requests for needed information
What Hyperproof does is package all of that into a single program
You indicate which compliance regimen you want to work with, and Hyperproof builds a workspace for you with all of the requirements you need
for that compliance framework.Unger says at this point, the company is simply putting all of the tasks in a single workflow to simplify and
organize your activities around this compliance framework.You can also import a spreadsheet to get that information inside Hyperproof, or
of the organization in a collaborative way by sending emails
Should you get audited, you have a central place to show the auditor your work.The company has concentrated on building the workflow part of
this, but in the future wants to add automation and APIs to connect directly to other systems to automate many of the activities
The goal with the initial release was to get companies a compliance framework workflow, and then build on that in the future.The company was
founded last year and has raised $3 million from 23 angel investors in the Seattle area where they are based
In fact, Unger is a former Microsoft employee and also helped found Azuqua, a workflow startup he sold to Okta this year for $52.5 million.
