StackGuardian, a European cloud-native startup focused on secure and compliant self-service infrastructure, has announced the closing of a $10 million funding round, which includes its initial seed capital. The Series A was led by TIN Capital, with continued support from existing investors Volta Ventures and InvestLink.
StackGuardian is addressing a long-standing challenge in enterprise IT: how to empower teams to manage infrastructure autonomously without compromising on security or compliance. Traditional approaches often rely on centralized control and manual oversight, which can slow down development and increase operational risk. StackGuardian flips this model by offering a platform that enables secure, policy-driven self-service infrastructure provisioning, backed by advanced automation and orchestration capabilities.
At the center of StackGuardian’s solution is its AI-powered platform, which allows enterprises to automate infrastructure delivery while maintaining strict governance. This means developers and operations teams can move faster, deploying resources as needed, while security and compliance teams retain complete visibility and control. The platform is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing cloud environments and toolchains, making it easy for organizations to adopt without requiring overhauls of their current systems.
The company’s technology is particularly well-suited for regulated industries, where compliance requirements are stringent and downtime can be costly. By embedding security and compliance into the automation process, StackGuardian helps enterprises reduce risk while accelerating innovation. Its platform supports a wide range of use cases, from cloud resource provisioning to policy enforcement and audit readiness.
How the funding will be used: With the new funding, StackGuardian plans to grow its engineering and go-to-market teams, expand its customer base, and continue enhancing the AI capabilities that differentiate its platform. The company’s vision is to become the default infrastructure automation layer for enterprises that need speed, security, and compliance to coexist.
