African cybersecurity startup Cybervergent has secured $3 million in seed funding to scale its compliance, risk, audit and data security posture management platform.
According to the company, it provides a platform that "unifies compliance, risk, audit and data security into a single continuously updated posture.”
The round was co-led by Atlantica Ventures and Ventures Platform, marking the firm’s first investment from the Pan-African Fund II.
The capital will support the development and expansion of Cybervergent’s platform across African markets.
The company said the platform combines risk management, policy tracking, and security oversight into a single system, enabling enterprises to monitor compliance in real time.
The new funding comes as African regulators tighten oversight of digital services, financial platforms and data protection. Across the continent, the rapid growth of digital services has created a widening security gap.
According to INTERPOL, Africa loses more than $3 billion annually to cybercrime, while nearly 90% of businesses operate without adequate cybersecurity protections.
Founded by Adetokunbo Omotosho and Ayomide I. Daniels in Nigeria, Cybervergent claims that its tools are already used by hundreds of organisations across West, East and Southern Africa.
