As Cyber Risk Grows, A-LIGN Helps Businesses Meet Regulatory, Compliance and Data Privacy Mandates

TAMPA, FL — July 16, 2018 — A-LIGN, a cybersecurity and compliance solutions provider that specializes in helping businesses navigate the complexities of regulatory and business-driven security and compliance needs, today announced that it has raised a $54.5 million investment from FTV Capital. In this next phase of growth, A-LIGN will continue to invest in its industry-leading service offerings, platform features and capabilities, team expansion and longstanding commitment to customer success. As part of the transaction, FTV Capital partner Liron Gitig and managing partner Richard Garman will join the company’s board of directors.

“Evolving security frameworks and the continual release of new regulations and compliance requirements, such as GDPR, SOC I/II/III, and the recently-passed California Consumer Privacy Act, require that company executives constantly examine their data privacy practices. Organizations across all industries are conducting critical assessment and audits not only for mandated compliance, but also to deepen trust among customers and users which has a direct impact on the bottom line,” said Scott Price, CEO of A-LIGN. “As a company, we have achieved significant growth milestones, and we are proud of the strong relationships we have built with our clients. We are excited to partner with FTV, a firm that has a long history in successfully scaling companies in the risk, security and compliance space, to reach that next summit in our expansion.”

A-LIGN provides security and compliance solutions in the form of assessments, audits and cyber risk advisory and testing services for companies ranging from small-medium sized businesses to large enterprises. Recognized for its leading capabilities by groups such as Gartner, AICPA and HITRUST, A-LIGN has developed a unique methodology to deliver best-in-class assessments and expertise, helping organizations address third party risks, security controls and privacy concerns. The company also plans to continue investment into its proprietary technology platform, A-SCEND, which has received high marks by helping customers streamline the complex audit and certification process via workflow automation, document management and auditing history.

“The need for rigorous cybersecurity and compliance solutions continues to top the list of must-haves for the financial institutions in FTV’s Global Partner Network®. Scott and the team at A-LIGN are industry leaders in information security and have developed innovative best practices to ensure customers meet the most stringent privacy and compliance mandates,” explained Liron Gitig, FTV Capital partner. “The A-LIGN approach emphasizes the highest standard in work product, customer service and engagement, as well as efficient and cost-effective delivery, which is evidenced by the company’s rapid growth and impressive customer retention rates. FTV is eager to collaborate with A-LIGN through its next phase of growth.”
