"AI-powered security governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) startup Zania has announced raising $18 million in a Series A funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $20 million. The investment round was led by NEA (New Enterprise Associates), with additional support from Anthology Fund, Palm Drive Capital, and various angel investors. Founded in 2023, Palo Alto, California-based Zania has built an agentic AI platform that relies on autonomous, domain-specific AI 'teammates' to perform risk and compliance operations."
"The AI teammates, the company explains, execute tasks based on each company's context. They continuously collect evidence, and test controls and identify gaps against compliance frameworks. Additionally, they can perform full-lifecycle assessment of vendors, provide evaluations of internal risk, and use these evaluations to answer incoming vendor questionnaires with precision. The fresh investment, the company says, will help it "build AI agents that can execute the full spectrum of risk and compliance work"."
