AI-native compliance operating system for European regulations and certifications
About Kertos
Kertos is a Munich AI compliance company founded in 2021 by Dr. Kilian Schmidt, Johannes Hussak and Alexander Prams that provides an end-to-end compliance operating system tailored to European regulations, certifications and AI governance. The platform integrates with a company's tech stack to discover assets, surface real-time insights, assess risk and automate workflows from document drafting and evidence collection to continuous monitoring, supporting frameworks such as GDPR, DORA, NIS2 and certifications including ISO 27001, SOC 2 and TISAX. It targets startups unlocking enterprise deals, mid-market firms reducing manual compliance work, and larger corporates replacing fragmented processes with AI agents. After a €4 million Seed in May 2023 led by Redstone/VR Ventures, Kertos closed a €14 million Series A in September 2025 led by Portage with Pilabs, Redstone, 10x Founders and seed+speed Ventures to scale AI-native automation and Europe-first compliance infrastructure.
