“Can a compliance SaaS platform that bundles AI automation with in-house auditors become the default operating system for enterprise security certification across every major framework?”
Originally founded as Laika, the company built a compliance automation tool aimed at early-stage startups seeking SOC 2 certification. It rebranded to Thoropass and evolved into a broader 'end-to-end cybersecurity auditor' platform combining AI-powered evidence collection with in-house human auditors. The Series B, led by JPMorgan Growth Equity Partners, validated the upmarket push toward enterprise compliance covering frameworks such as HITRUST and PCI DSS alongside SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA. The strategic bet is that owning the entire audit workflow—evidence collection, integrations, human auditors, and trust center publishing—creates durable switching costs.
