Oak9 provides a Security as Code platform that continuously finds, analyzes and remediates security and compliance issues in real time as changes occur in Infrastructure as Code and deployed cloud workloads. The company’s proprietary SaC blueprints support 20-plus compliance standards out of the box, including HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI, SOC2 and ISO27001. Oak9 has open-sourced portions of its Security as Code to enable security engineers to extend its blueprints and to grow community contributions. The company plans to use the new funding to expand its free Community Edition and to help launch a next‑generation Security as Code offering to make cloud-native security more accessible. Oak9 is led by CEO Raj Datta and recently opened a new office in India. The company is based in Chicago, IL. oak9 provides an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security platform that integrates into CI/CD workflows and the broader software development lifecycle. The platform analyzes infrastructure as code, applies pre-built security-as-code blueprints that support any architecture on any cloud provider, and automates design changes. Continuous, dynamic monitoring maintains security across evolving ecosystems and application architectures rather than just individual configurations. oak9 emphasizes shifting security left into the design phase so development teams can maintain velocity while identifying and remediating security gaps. The company plans to use the seed financing to invest in R&D, further define the IaC security landscape, and acquire additional customers. As part of the financing, Menlo Ventures partners Venky Ganesan and Tim Tully (formerly CTO at Splunk) joined oak9's board.
