Our purpose

We are fixing compliance and restoring trust

Want to know how it all started? And why we’re eager to fix compliance? Or maybe you’re looking for your next job and want to meet your potential future colleagues? Find everything here. 

Our vision

We fight for a future where businesses, no matter their size or resources, easily navigate the complexities of compliance and use it to build trust and foster transparency. Our aim is to make compliance easily achievable, accessible, and affordable, transforming it from a burden into a strategic, competitive advantage.

How it all started

Let’s go back to 2017.

GDPR had just been announced – and challenges for many businesses were waiting ahead.

So, what are the first things you need to help businesses overcome these challenges?A MacBook, a landline phone, and an 11 square meter office north of Copenhagen.

Our history told in highlights:

2017
Our founder Martin Folke Vasehus becomes aware of an alarming problem in the compliance landscape: It lacks transparency. To him, technology was the means to fix compliance – and, by that, a way to uphold our society and democracy. Then, he started putting all his expert knowledge and experience into a software to combine legal and IT expertise.
2018
ComplyCloud’s GDPR product is launched, and we got our first customers.
2019
We kickstarted our commercial push by hiring the first sales people.
2020
Yes, the "virus that must not be mentioned" also paused us. But we came back strong – and actually had more growth.
2021
We got a chance to be in the spotlight at TechBBQ as a judging panel awarded us the prize of more than 5,000 EUR. Shortly after, we got funding of 4.4 EUR million from SEED Capital... which led to more growth and more colleagues. What a year!
2022
This year, the strategic focus was on building the foundation of our departments by hiring strong profiles for our executive leadership, sales and marketing teams.
2023
Got the official recognition of what we do as we won the Danish Legal Tech Award 2023  at the Nordic Legal Tech Day.

This year, we also expanded our product suite with ISMS to help customers ensure their information security and compliance in one place.
2024
We launched our AI Compliance solution. Also, we expanded our platform with an ISMS universe to help customers easier comply across frameworks, including NIS2, ISO 27001, ISAE 3402, and CIS 18.

Where we are now

500+ customers
+ 50 employees
13 nationalities
What do you get when you mix a team of lawyers, tech-savvies, and many other specialists with everything from weekly workouts to Barbenheimer parties and (apparently) beach toys?
The answer is: ComplyCloud. And a lot of friends and fun.

One culture, four ways to describe it

Different, but same

Just as much as we work to make compliance inclusive for everyone, we also want to make our culture inclusive for everyone. That’s why we’re a mix of 13 nationalities who share the same interests and like to meet across departments often. Whether it’s for company football, workouts, monthly Friday bars, company parties, and music festivals like CopenHell.

Taking fun seriously

Adding humor into something so complex as compliance can humanize the topic – that’s why we don’t forget to have fun in the office every day. You’ll see that as our CEO is always up for a joke. Also, you can often hear our VP People & Culture, Sofie, spreading good laughs or the Marketing team cracking up in the afternoon.

Compliance is about caring - and so is colleagues

Based on 5 years of experience in protecting the right of privacy, we also know that integrity, decency, and care should be the driver for compliance – but it should also be the driver for a strong ComplyCloud culture. We value colleagues who share our moral compass. Is that you?

"What´s on your mind?"

We dare to speak up, express opinions, and share our interpretations of the law. For that reason, we encourage our colleagues to challenge the status quo and tell their honest opinions – whether they’ve been here for three weeks or three years.

Do you want to join our team?

If you’re looking for a place where you just clock in and out, ComplyCloud isn’t for you.

If you’re looking for a job that’s more than a job and colleagues that are more than colleagues, we could be a good match.
