New York, Oct. 26, 2023 – GAN Integrity, a pioneer of no-code risk, ethics, and compliance management technology announced today a significant growth investment round led by Funds advised by Apax ("Apax Funds") with participation from an existing investor, the venture capital team at Aquiline Capital Partners LP, Aquiline Technology Growth ("Aquiline").
The significant investment by Apax Funds and Aquiline (ATG) will further accelerate the growth of GAN Integrity, the industry’s leading provider of technology that enables proactive, integrated, and real-time management and monitoring of third-party and employee risk, ethics, and compliance programs. The investment will enable GAN Integrity to accelerate the development of its pioneering platform and better serve the growing demands of the world’s leading brands.
Founded in Denmark in 2004, GAN Integrity provides cloud-based software solutions covering internal and external risk areas including third-party due diligence, disclosures, incident, and risk management, as well as multiple risk domains within third-party risk management. At its core, the Integrity Platform, a no-code, workflow orchestration platform, enables ethics and compliance teams to effectively assess and manage risk while affecting change by driving proactive ethical and compliant behaviour across the enterprise. The platform’s unified view of both internal and external risks, combined with its automation capabilities, transforms an organisation’s ability to create a holistic view of its risk landscape and deploy a control environment to manage exposure and unlock sustainable growth.
Risk & compliance applications on the Integrity Platform benefit from a unified data-structure, no-code workflow technology and granular role-based access control. Every application built on the Integrity Platform, from third-party risk management to conflicts of interest, gifts, donations, antitrust, risk assessments and more, empowers companies to design and deploy tailored solutions that accommodate unique organisational setups and internal processes to drive meaningful outcomes and actionable business intelligence. The Integrity Platform empowers compliance teams with cross-application reporting connecting external and internal risks, closing the gaps on functional and data silos for a true holistic management of enterprise risk.
Nicholas Manolis, CEO, GAN Integrity, said: "We’re incredibly excited to partner with Apax in this next stage of our journey. This investment provides us with the resources and flexibility to execute on our ambitious customer product road map and growth plans, providing even more organisations around the world with a platform that makes good governance effortless.
