Vendict Secures $10M Series A to Lead the Next Era of Trustworthy AI in Compliance

Vendict, the AI-native compliance platform helping enterprises replace manual GRC operations with verifiable, explainable automation, has raised $10 million in a Series A funding round. The investment was led by Moneta VC and JAL Ventures, with follow-on participation from existing backers NFX, Cardumen Capital, Disruptive AI, and Cyber Club London. Several returning investors doubled down beyond their initial stakes.

The round brings Vendict's total funding to $20 million and arrives at a pivotal time, as organizations face growing compliance complexity and growing skepticism toward most AI offerings.

"The compliance space is undergoing a generational shift, and Vendict is perfectly positioned to lead it," said Adoram Gaash, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Moneta VC.

The Funding Comes at a Crucial Inflection Point

This milestone for Vendict signals a broader GRC industry. According to recent forecasts, the global GRC platform market is expected to grow by $44.22 billion between 2025 and 2029, driven by rising regulatory scrutiny, third-party risk, and demands for real-time assurance.

But there's a catch. While AI is rapidly becoming a necessity in compliance operations, 74% of GRC leaders remain uneasy about relying on AI alone, citing concerns about hallucinations, lack of explainability, and implementation overhead.

This is the gap Vendict is targeting directly.

"We built our platform on language models, knowledge graphs, and continuous feedback loops so it doesn't just generate answers but also understands context, explains its reasoning, and delivers results executives can trust," said Udi Cohen, Vendict Co-founder and CEO.

Native Intelligence, Not AI Retrofits

The majority of compliance tools on the market today are either rule-based or built on legacy architecture. Their approach to AI is reactive and often involves retrofitted chatbot layers or third-party integrations that can't fully adapt to context or provide reliable traceability.

Vendict was built differently. Its system is AI-native from day one, meaning every layer from data ingestion to response generation is structured for learning, transparency, and adaptability.

"Our architecture doesn't just consume data; it learns from user interaction patterns, approval workflows, and decision boundaries in real time," explained Michael Keslassy, Vendict's CTO.

That architecture has a direct impact on how teams work. Instead of generating black-box responses, Vendict provides verifiable outputs linked to source documentation, a critical requirement in audit scenarios, vendor due diligence, and regulatory reviews.

"While competitors try to retrofit AI into legacy systems, Vendict is built from the ground up with intelligence at the core," added Gonzalo Martínez de Azagra, General Partner at Cardumen Capital.

Serving the Teams Who Can't Afford Errors

Vendict is already in use across 100+ organizations, many of which migrated from manual workflows or clunky legacy systems. For security-driven companies like Orca Security, the transition has delivered meaningful impact.

"Vendict's automation eliminated the manual work involved in responding to these lengthy questionnaires," said Raul Zayat Galante, CISO at Orca Security. "The time savings were remarkable---we could focus more on security and less on paperwork."

The platform supports major frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, DORA, and ESG, enabling teams to perform gap analyses, complete audits, and assess third-party risk with unprecedented efficiency.

A Strategic Use of Capital

With its Series A funding, Vendict plans to scale go-to-market operations, accelerate R&D, and further strengthen its AI feedback loops and integrations. The goal is to help compliance teams not only move faster, but also become strategic enablers within the business.

"Compliance shouldn't be spending their time copy-pasting across spreadsheets," Cohen said. "They should be steering strategy, managing risk, and earning trust."

A Trusted Answer in an AI-Overloaded Market

As AI becomes the default setting across enterprise functions, Vendict is carving out a unique position in the GRC space: a platform that not only automates but also proves its effectiveness. With $10 million in fresh capital and a fast-growing customer base, Vendict is poised to lead the next era of compliance---one built not just on intelligence, but on trust.
