Oneleet Raises $33M To Shake Up The World Of Security Compliance
Bryan Onel grew up surrounded by locks — his father was a locksmith, while he became the digital equivalent. His passion for ethical hacking eventually turned into a career that would inspire his latest venture. Today, Oneleet raises $33M to shake up the world of security compliance, offering companies a smarter way to protect themselves beyond just passing audits.

From Hacker To Founder
Onel studied AI at university but never left his hacking roots behind. Over a decade, he conducted penetration tests for more than 150 companies across industries. What he noticed was alarming: even organizations that had passed compliance checks were still easy to breach.
Security, he realized, often fell into two extremes — painful but effective, or painless but useless. Many companies were only doing the bare minimum, leaving them vulnerable to cyberattacks.
The Birth Of Oneleet
Clients frequently asked Onel if he could deliver a better solution. In 2022, he co-founded Oneleet with his wife, Ora, and college friend, Erik Vogelzang. Their goal was clear: create a security compliance platform that not only helps businesses get certified but also makes them truly secure.
Unlike traditional compliance software, which mostly collects evidence and spits out a certificate, Oneleet digs deeper. Onel calls the old approach “compliance theater” — companies may look secure on paper but remain exposed in reality.
What Makes Oneleet Different
Oneleet takes a holistic approach by integrating multiple security tools into one platform. Features include:
-
Penetration testing
-
Code scanning
-
Cloud data security
-
Attack surface management
-
Security training
By weaving these into a single system, Oneleet gives companies real-time insight into their defenses. Onel says this ground-up integration allows security teams to move faster, plug vulnerabilities, and actually reduce risk rather than just ticking boxes.
Why Investors Backed The Vision
The $33 million funding round underscores growing investor appetite for startups tackling cybersecurity in new ways. With businesses facing relentless attacks, compliance alone is no longer enough. Oneleet’s model positions it as both a compliance enabler and a proactive shield against threats.
Investors see an opportunity in Oneleet’s ability to bridge a critical gap: helping companies achieve certifications while simultaneously leveling up their real security posture.
Cybersecurity compliance has long been a frustrating necessity for businesses. But with rising threats and stricter regulations, the market is ripe for disruption. Oneleet’s integrated approach could set a new standard for how companies balance compliance with actual protection.
As Onel puts it, security shouldn’t be about passing an audit — it should be about surviving real-world attacks. With fresh funding and a growing demand for stronger defenses, Oneleet may be on its way to reshaping the future of cybersecurity.
