Riverside Acceleration Capital (RAC) is thrilled to announce our recent investment in Trava Security, an Indianapolis-based cybersecurity and compliance provider purpose-built for fast-growing businesses.
For many emerging and growing companies, achieving and maintaining security compliance is both a persistent operational challenge and an important unlock to enterprise customers and/or those in heavily regulated industries. The path to certifications like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or CMMC is often time-consuming, expensive, and resource-intensive, which usually pulls engineering teams away from core product development, and stretching lean security functions beyond their capacity. Traditional solutions tend to fall into one of two camps: software-only platforms that automate evidence collection but leave the compliance journey largely in the customer's hands; or consulting firms that deliver outcomes, but typically through manual human effort alone (at a cost and pace that can be difficult to scale).
Founded in 2020, Trava was built to bridge that gap. Their software-based services platform combines the accountability and expertise of a dedicated services team, with proprietary technology that helps better enable their customers manage compliance. Additionally, AI-based automation streamlines much of the manual work required to deliver the “last-mile” of customer needs. This hybrid approach of expert-driven service delivery supported by purpose-built software is central to Trava's value proposition, and we believe it represents a differentiated position in the market. Trava's compliance team delivers certifications up to 3x faster than a do-it-yourself approach, and the company has maintained a 100% certification success rate across its customer base, with a 4.8/5 rating on G2.
Trava's service portfolio delivers a unified approach to security and compliance with services spanning a broad set of categories to help support customers across their entire security requirements:
-
Advisory Services: vCISO-led services around Compliance, Privacy, Risk, and AI governance
-
Cybersecurity Services: penetration testing, social engineering, red teaming, vulnerability management
-
Cyber Engineering: DevSecOps, Cloud Architecture, & IAM services
-
-
Managed programs: Managed Compliance, Managed Security Operations, Penetration Testing as a Service
-
-
Trava supports over 20 frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC, FedRAMP, PCI, GDPR, CCPA, HITRUST, and NIST AI RMF. By combining a tech-enabled delivery model with proven customer outcomes, Trava has become a trusted partner in the compliance ecosystem, helping companies achieve certification more quickly and efficiently.
We believe Trava's differentiated delivery model, expanding service portfolio, and customer-centric approach position them well to serve as a trusted security and compliance partner for growing startups and mid-market businesses alike. Their commitment to making cybersecurity accessible, practical, and results-driven aligns well with RAC's mission to back companies that drive meaningful, measurable impact for their customers. We’re proud to partner with the Trava team and look forward to supporting their next phase of growth.
