RegScale Named a Cool Vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Cool Vendors™ With AI-Powered Technologies for Assurance Leaders

Fresh off its $30M+ Series B funding round, RegScale is accelerating the next era of AI-powered continuous compliance—giving assurance leaders real-time visibility, faster decisions, and the confidence to modernize at speed

TYSONS CORNER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RegScale, the leader in Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM), today announced it has been recognized as a Cool Vendor by Gartner in the Cool Vendors with AI-Powered Technologies for Assurance Leaders report.

The report states, “Leading assurance teams now seek tools that integrate data and analytics across all three lines of defense (from business operations through external audits), driving efficiency and enabling better decision making beyond basic process automation.”

We believe this recognition comes on the heels of RegScale’s oversubscribed $30M+ Series B funding round, bringing the company’s total capital raised to more than $50M. The investment — led by Washington Harbour Partners with participation from M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund; Hitachi Ventures; Ankona Capital; SYN Ventures; and SineWave Ventures — is fueling rapid AI innovation and go-to-market expansion. With this momentum, RegScale is uniquely positioned to help enterprises and critical industries move beyond legacy compliance tools and embrace compliance as code and intelligent, continuous assurance.

With cutting-edge AI and automation at the core of RegScale’s platform, the platform is equipping assurance leaders across industries to move faster, strengthen defenses, and reduce risk in ways legacy GRC platforms simply cannot. RegScale helps organizations modernize, protect critical infrastructure, and build resilience against today’s most advanced threats.

“Cyberattacks move at light speed, while compliance programs still move at the speed of a glacier,” said Travis Howerton, Co-Founder and CEO of RegScale. “That mismatch isn’t just a business problem; it’s a national security risk. From homeland defense missions to the electric grid, from global banking transactions to manufacturing supply chains, every compliance gap is a potential operational catastrophe. RegScale was built to close those gaps in real time, supercharging assurance leaders with AI that translates policy into actionable controls in minutes, not weeks.”

RegScale’s compliance-as-code platform integrates with IT, security, and business systems to unify data, normalize controls, and leverage AI to uncover risks and streamline remediation. Its compliance-trained fleet of AI agents, RegML, automates evidence collection and regulatory mapping, shrinking the window between discovery, response, and remediation. The result: assurance leaders can stay audit-ready every day while cutting costs and freeing resources for innovation.
