2019 Recap: Events, Mentions, New Features and More

A collection of our awards, mentions, conference and activities for 2019.

After a successful close to 2018 securing our Series A funding, we kicked off the new year (2019) in full swing by expanding into the Americas and opened up our office in New York City in January. Throughout the year, we grew to a team of 30 highly skilled individuals, made up of twelve nationalities, all working together together to make every mission that we embark on, a successful one. 

Across our four regions, our teams participated in a variety of RegTech related events, conferences and panels. We published seven white papers, hosted webinars and even launched our very own podcast. We were once again certified by the Certification Body, TÜV SÜD Management Service GmbH, with ISO/IEC 27001:2013. In March 2019, we put on our party hats and celebrated Alyne’s third birthday with an in-house video production, marking the milestone with a great memory to look back on, but also giving ode to the teams that all worked so hard to make it happen. 

It was a big year for Alyne's capabilities and features, which was fuelled by our tireless Development team putting the application and technologies through its paces in order to add next-level functionality for our customers. The Content Library team mapped over 8 entirely new standards, laws and regulations into Alyne, furthering our customers GRC capabilities in our respective regions. All of these new features and library topics are designed to significantly improve user experience and further the possibilities of utilising Alyne for your compliance and risk management requirements.
