OneClickComply, the compliance automation platform transforming cybersecurity certification from months-long marathons into streamlined sprints, has been shortlisted for the Tech Startup Award at the Dynamo North East's Dynamites Awards 2025.
The nomination recognises OneClickComply's rapid emergence as a game-changer in the £16 billion UK cybersecurity market, where businesses have traditionally faced complex, resource-intensive compliance processes that drain budgets and delay growth.
Redefining Compliance for the Modern Enterprise
In an era where cyber threats evolve daily and regulatory requirements multiply exponentially, OneClickComply stands apart through its revolutionary approach to compliance automation. Unlike traditional solutions that merely identify gaps, OneClickComply's proprietary OneClickFix™ technology actively remediates issues-automating over 1,000 technical controls that previously required expensive consultants and countless hours of manual configuration.
The platform addresses a critical pain point for UK businesses: the average SME spends 3-6 months and tens of thousands of pounds achieving ISO 27001 certification. OneClickComply reduces this to a matter of hours, not months-delivering enterprise-ready compliance at a fraction of the traditional cost.
North East Innovation at Its Finest
The Dynamites Awards, now in their twelfth year, represent the pinnacle of recognition for the North East's thriving technology sector. OneClickComply's shortlisting alongside other innovative startups including Neptune North, OnlyCat, and The Resolved Group, showcases the region's continued evolution as a hub for groundbreaking technology solutions.
"The calibre of companies shortlisted demonstrates the incredible innovation happening right here in the North East," notes Connor Greig, CEO and Co-Founder of OneClickComply. "We're honoured to be recognised alongside such talented organisations, all pushing boundaries in their respective fields."
Beyond Traditional Compliance: A Platform Built for Scale
What sets OneClickComply apart isn't just automation-it's intelligence. The platform's AutoComplete toolkit generates IT and security policies using real-time system configuration data, ensuring documentation always matches technical reality. Meanwhile, 24/7 continuous monitoring eliminates audit surprises by maintaining compliance between assessments.
The platform serves as a comprehensive compliance command centre, featuring:
- Automated technical control implementation with OneClickFix™ technology
- Real-time policy generation reflecting actual system configurations
- Continuous compliance monitoring preventing configuration drift
- Integrated vulnerability management from CREST-certified modules
- Vendor risk assessment automation streamlining supply chain security
- Trust Centre capabilities for transparent compliance demonstration
Fueling Growth Through Investment and Innovation
The Dynamites shortlisting arrives as OneClickComply accelerates its growth trajectory, having secured over £1.2 million in funding including support from Northstar Ventures' Venture Sunderland Fund and Innovate UK. This investment powers the company's mission to democratise enterprise-grade compliance, making sophisticated security accessible to organisations of every size.
"Our platform removes the traditional barriers to compliance-cost, complexity, and time," explains Conor Sizeland, CTO and Co-Founder. "We're giving businesses the tools they need to focus on growth rather than getting bogged down in compliance chaos."
Building Sunderland's Cybersecurity Cluster
Beyond transforming compliance, OneClickComply is actively addressing the UK's cybersecurity skills shortage by creating high-skilled jobs in Sunderland. The company's growth contributes to the city's emerging reputation as a cybersecurity innovation hub, supported by organisations like CyberNorth where OneClickComply was part of the inaugural innovation centre cohort.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Compliance Automation
As businesses face increasing regulatory pressure-from NIS2 Directive requirements to evolving data protection standards-OneClickComply's automation-first approach positions it at the forefront of a fundamental shift in how organisations achieve and maintain compliance.
The Dynamites Awards ceremony on November 20th at Newcastle Civic Centre will celebrate the North East's technology excellence, with winners announced across fourteen categories. For OneClickComply, the recognition validates their vision: transforming compliance from a business burden into a competitive advantage.
