Uno.ai

Based in Palo Alto, California, Uno.ai is a technology company operating in the autonomous security and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) sector. The company was founded in 2020 by Shashank Tiwari and Murugesan Guruswamy, two seasoned deep tech experts from Silicon Valley. Shashank Tiwari, the CEO, has a background in product and engineering leadership roles at several high-growth startups, including Nutanix and Medallia, bringing experience in building scalable systems. Murugesan Guruswamy, the Chief Architect, contributes extensive expertise in AI, cybersecurity, and distributed systems.

Uno.ai has developed an AI-powered platform designed to enhance the operational efficiency of cybersecurity teams and streamline GRC programs. The company initially focused on automating activities for Security Operations Centers (SOCs) but has since pivoted to address the broader GRC market. The platform utilizes a combination of Large Language Models, Knowledge Graph Time Machine, and Deep Reinforcement Learning to automate tasks such as policy governance, risk assessment, and audit management. It assists organizations in transitioning from manual workflows to AI-driven processes, enabling continuous monitoring and providing deeper insights into risks and vulnerabilities.

The core service revolves around an “expert security analyst” platform that can significantly reduce the time required for security investigations, from days to minutes. Its features include intelligent policy governance, a GRC co-pilot, and tools for rapid vendor onboarding and seamless data extraction from documents like screenshots. The system can analyze thousands of policy pages to identify gaps, suggest updates, and help maintain compliance with changing regulations. Uno.ai's platform is designed to be agentless, operate across multi-cloud environments, and integrate with an enterprise's existing infrastructure and applications to provide a comprehensive view of IT and cyber risks. The company primarily serves clients in sectors such as banking, fintech, and cloud-first companies. Since its inception, Uno.ai has raised $550K in funding over three seed rounds.
