Made in Belgium

We built the GRC platform we wished existed when we were CISOs

Maiky was born out of frustration with spreadsheets, US-centric compliance tools, and the complexity of making information security understandable to the whole organisation.

Our Mission
“Make world-class information security compliance accessible to every organisation, regardless of size or budget.”

Too many great companies are losing customers, failing audits, or paying six-figure consultancy fees. Not because they do not care about security, but because the tooling is built for Fortune 500 companies and Silicon Valley startups.

Maiky changes that. We built a platform that speaks the language of European regulations, starts from day one with the policies and controls your Belgian or EU auditor actually expects, and connects every corner of your compliance programme in one place.

What we stand for

Our values

European by design
We are not a US platform retrofitted for GDPR. Maiky is built from the ground up for the European regulatory landscape (ISO 27001, CyFun, NIS2, GDPR, DORA, and more). Your data stays in the EU.
Simplicity over complexity
GRC software has a reputation for being unusable. We disagree. Every feature in Maiky is designed to be understood by a Security Manager who is not a software engineer, and by a developer who is not a compliance expert.
Customer success first
We measure our success by whether your audits pass, not by licence revenue. Our support team includes people who have actually held CISO and DPO roles and understand what you are going through.
Practice what we preach
Maiky is ISO 27001:2022 certified and GDPR compliant. We use our own platform to manage our information security programme. We are our own most demanding customer.
Continuous improvement
Compliance is not a one-time checkbox. It is a continuous programme. Everything in Maiky is built around the Plan–Do–Check–Act cycle, not just getting you certified once.
Built for the long run
We are a bootstrapped, profitable company. We do not optimise for VC metrics. We optimise for being a dependable long-term partner for organisations that take security seriously.
Our Story

From frustration to platform

How Maiky went from a spreadsheet-replacement idea to the leading Belgian GRC platform.

2019
Maiky is founded
Our founders, working as security consultants for Belgian mid-market companies, recognised the need for an InfoSec platform that truly met their expectations.
2020
First clients
We reached a major milestone when our first clients started using Maiky, marking the first step toward making a real impact.
2021
Growing the team
Our team doubled in size, bringing in new talent and fresh ideas. This growth strengthened our ability to innovate and support more companies on their information security journey.
2022
CyFun & NIS2 - the Belgian advantage
The CCB publishes CyberFundamentals. Maiky ships native CyFun support within 60 days. Competitors take 18 months to add it. We become the reference platform for Belgian public sector and critical infrastructure organisations.
2023
Automation & Trust Center
Customers ask: can Maiky collect evidence automatically? We build the Automation module. Then the Trust Center. Audit preparation time drops by 99% for early adopters.
2024
DORA, GDPR module and more customers
We double the number of active customer organisations. More modules are introduced. Jira integration goes live, compliance and engineering finally connect.
2025
Full platform, the CISO's headquarters
Maiky ships with a completely redesigned interface, process builder, advanced supplier TPRM, and maturity scoring.

What's next
Expanding across the Benelux and broader EU. Building the most comprehensive GRC platform in Europe. Still bootstrapped. Still focused on making compliance understandable.
