  • SecureNavi

    Participated · Series B · Nov 2025

    SecureNavi digitizes the traditionally manual “humanities security” tasks such as ISMS certification, P-Mark acquisition, regulation compliance, policy development, audits, and inspections. Its core offerings include a service suite that simplifies obtaining and operating information-security certifications for more than 1,200 corporate customers, as well as the Fit&Gap platform that automates security regulation compliance. The company recently unveiled “Takumi Cloud for the Second Line,” a platform designed around the international Three Lines Model to help second-line governance teams standardize and automate risk assessments across contractors, systems, and group companies. Preliminary trials of Takumi Cloud span industries like pharmaceuticals, telecom, finance, manufacturing, IT, distribution, food service, and HR. SecureNavi reports that revenue has climbed roughly 3.5× since its previous funding round, indicating rapid commercial traction. The firm plans to invest heavily in product development, expand its engineering team, step up recruiting, and increase marketing spend to accelerate digital transformation in security compliance.
