Oneleet Raises $33 Million Series A to End Compliance Theater

Oneleet, a YC-backed company that delivers both compliance and security, led by Bryan Onel and Ora Onel, has secured $33 million in Series A led by Dawn Capital.

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 have become compliance theater, scans passed off as tests, fake exercises, and screenshots that check boxes but leave companies vulnerable. Oneleet’s founders, seasoned penetration testers, saw this first-hand, breaching Fortune 500s that were “fully certified.” The system forces a choice between painful real security and painless fake compliance. Oneleet exists to eliminate that choice.

Oneleet makes SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other compliance effortless by starting with real security, not checklists. The platform unifies penetration testing, code scanning, cloud posture management, monitoring, MDM, and training into one stack, deployable instantly. Stronger security leads to faster compliance, guaranteed audit outcomes, and no blind spots. Companies win deals, competitors lose, because their compliance is backed by genuine security.

From the first call, it was clear Dawn was the right partner, deeply understanding the space and immediately seeing the vision: compliance as the wedge, security as the substance. Their conviction and professionalism showed from day one, with Henry Mason flying from London to San Francisco within 24 hours to meet in person.

The company scaled to an 8-figure revenue profitably without touching its seed funding. This new round will fuel the expansion of engineering talent, deeper AI investment across cybersecurity domains, and the scaling of proven GTM channels. The goal: build the comprehensive all-in-one security platform the market truly needs, because compliance alone isn’t enough.

Effective cybersecurity should be painless. Oneleet makes real security easier, faster, and more cost-effective than compliance theater, eliminating the incentive for shortcuts altogether. When security works as it should, it fades into the background, letting companies focus on building great products. Compliance theater ends here.
