heyData, a Berlin, Germany-based compliance technology company, has raised $16.5 million in a Series A funding round to accelerate development of its unified IT security and regulatory compliance platform and expand its footprint across Europe. The platform helps small and medium-sized businesses automate complex compliance requirements including GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2 and the EU AI Act by integrating security and compliance workflows into a single modular SaaS system that reduces manual effort and operational friction. The Series A round was led by Riverside Acceleration Capital (RAC), the specialised B2B software investment arm of The Riverside Company, with a focus on supporting high-growth enterprise software businesses. The fresh capital will be used to expand the platform’s unified security and compliance capabilities, add support for additional regulatory frameworks and deeper integrations, and scale across European markets beyond its strong DACH region base meeting rising demand as digital security risks and regulatory complexity increase. heyData serves more than 2,000 customers across sectors and aims to make compliance intuitive, automated and integrated into routine business workflows.
