Oneleet
View Company ProfileOneleet is an AI-powered cybersecurity and compliance automation platform designed to help modern software companies build, maintain, and monitor comprehensive security programs while achieving standards such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS. Founded in 2022 by Bryan Onel, Ora Onel, and Erik Vogelzang and backed by Y Combinator (S22 cohort), Oneleet was built to solve the issue of superficial "compliance theater" by integrating native security tools directly into the compliance lifecycle. Its platform combines automated code security scanning, continuous attack surface monitoring, access reviews, vendor risk management, and endpoint monitoring with OSCE-certified penetration testing and dedicated hands-on vCISO expertise. By managing external auditor interactions and providing end-to-end security program roadmaps, Oneleet enables startups and fast-growing B2B technology businesses to eliminate redundant security vendors and maintain real-world protection alongside continuous compliance.
