We've sat in the same chair as you — facing audit season with spreadsheets, chasing evidence from colleagues, and wondering if there was a better way. So we built it.
For too long, achieving ISO 27001 certification or GDPR compliance meant expensive consultants, overwhelming spreadsheets, and months of painful manual work. We believe every organisation — regardless of size or budget — deserves access to world-class compliance tooling.
Complio was created to democratise compliance. We combine deep standards expertise, cutting-edge AI, and an intuitive user experience to guide any organisation through the full compliance lifecycle — from first gap assessment to ongoing certification maintenance.
Maximillian De Beer is a recognised authority in information security and privacy compliance with over two decades of hands-on experience spanning financial services, energy, healthcare, and technology sectors. His career has taken him from the front lines of enterprise security management to the highest levels of international standards governance.
As an active participant on ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 — the technical committee responsible for developing the ISO 27000 family of standards — Maximillian has contributed directly to the frameworks that Complio is built upon. This insider knowledge shapes every feature, workflow, and document template in the platform.
"I spent years watching organisations struggle with compliance — not because they lacked commitment, but because they lacked the right tools. Complio is my answer to that problem. We bring together everything an organisation needs to achieve and maintain compliance, powered by AI, and made simple enough that your entire team can contribute."
— Maximillian De Beer, Founder, Complio Core
Our values aren't wall art — they're the principles behind every product decision, every customer interaction, and every line of code we write.
Compliance is not an area for approximation. Every control, template, and workflow in Complio is mapped directly to a specific standard or regulation — no guesswork.
We hold ourselves to the same standards we ask our customers to meet. Our own certifications, policies, and practices are openly published and independently verified.
Enterprise-grade compliance tooling should not be the preserve of large enterprises. We price and design Complio so that any organisation can afford to do compliance properly.
We see ourselves as a long-term partner in your compliance journey, not just a software vendor. Our success is measured by your certifications, not just your subscription renewals.
We invest heavily in AI and automation so your team can focus on high-value compliance work rather than administrative burden. Maximillian AI is just the beginning.
A compliance platform must be beyond reproach in its own security. We apply security-by-design principles to every system, feature, and process within Complio.
Maximillian De Beer's participation in ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 means Complio has direct visibility into the evolution of the ISO 27000 family of standards. This gives our customers early insight into upcoming changes — and ensures Complio is always aligned to the latest guidance.
