BreachRx
Incident-response orchestration platform that automates breach-notification workflows and legal-compliance obligations, backed by a $15M Series A with Kevin Mandia on the board.

BreachRx sells software that turns incident response from a scramble of spreadsheets, Slack threads, and outside counsel phone calls into a pre-built, automated workflow. The platform maps an organization’s specific regulatory and contractual breach-notification obligations — state data breach laws, GDPR, sector rules, customer contract clauses — into playbooks that trigger automatically when an incident is declared, tracking who did what, when, and whether legal privilege was preserved along the way. The pitch is less about detecting incidents (BreachRx integrates with the tools that do that) and more about making sure the response itself doesn’t become the second half of the disaster.
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco, BreachRx closed a $15 million Series A in May 2025 led by Ballistic Ventures, with participation from SYN Ventures, Overline, and Silver Buckshot Ventures, bringing total disclosed funding to over $23 million. Former Mandiant CEO Kevin Mandia joined the company’s board in connection with the round, and cybersecurity journalist Nicole Perlroth came on as a board observer — notable signals of credibility from people who have sat on the other side of major breach responses.
The company is using the new capital to expand its network of MSSP and professional-services partners offering incident-response-as-a-service on top of the platform, and to deepen integrations with existing detection and SIEM tooling. BreachRx’s core bet is that regulatory complexity around breach notification will keep increasing, making a purpose-built orchestration layer for legal and compliance response more valuable than another point tool for detection.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Actively expanding its partner ecosystem (MSSPs, professional services) and deepening SIEM/tooling integrations following its Series A, though the company is still young enough that release cadence is not independently documented.
Founded in 2020 and running a live SaaS platform with a growing partner network, but at roughly 35 employees the company is still early-stage relative to established GRC incumbents.
Closed a $15M Series A in May 2025 (total disclosed funding over $23M), bringing on Kevin Mandia (former Mandiant CEO) as a board member and Nicole Perlroth as board observer -- strong credibility signals alongside fresh capital.
Reframes incident response as a compliance-and-orchestration problem rather than a detection problem, automating breach-notification obligations that are otherwise handled manually by legal teams and outside counsel -- a real workflow shift, though the underlying idea (IR playbooks) is not new.
No independent third-party benchmark of the platform was found; efficacy signal rests on board-level credibility (Mandia, Perlroth) and investor due diligence rather than a named customer case study or technical evaluation.
Breach-notification regulatory complexity (state laws, GDPR, sector rules, contract clauses) is a persistent, growing pain point for CISOs and general counsel alike, making this a highly relevant category for the current regulatory environment.
Why CISOs Should Care
BreachRx gives CISOs and legal teams a pre-built, auditable workflow for breach notification obligations instead of assembling one from scratch under time pressure during an actual incident.
What Makes It Different
Rather than adding another detection or SIEM tool, BreachRx focuses specifically on the legal and regulatory orchestration layer of incident response -- privilege preservation, notification deadlines, and audit trails.
The Matrix Verdict
67/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A well-funded, credibly-backed platform addressing a real and growing compliance pain point; still early-stage in scale, but the board composition and funding trajectory suggest a company worth watching in the GRC/incident-response space.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
The $15M Series A, investor list, and board additions (Mandia, Perlroth) are independently confirmed via press coverage (Business Wire, SiliconANGLE, MSSP Alert). Specific platform efficacy and customer outcomes are vendor-stated and not independently verified here.
