Serial Founder Richart Ruddie Launches Newest Venture in Data Privacy & Compliance Space

Richart Ruddie, a renowned serial founder with numerous successful exits, has unveiled his latest venture, Captain Compliance, a cutting-edge data privacy software company designed to assist businesses in navigating the complex landscape of data protection and regulatory frameworks.

Captain Compliance has been in stealth mode building out a robust suite of tools tailored to meet the diverse needs of both small and large enterprises. The platform provides software solutions to help with the growing field of Artificial Intelligence compliance to state level frameworks.

Some of the software tools automate processes for:  

These tools empower organizations to take control of their online privacy practices and ensure adherence to ever-evolving regulations. 

In today's digital landscape, businesses face significant challenges in maintaining compliance with stringent data protection laws. Violations can result in substantial fines, making proper data handling crucial for success. Captain Compliance aims to simplify this process, providing clients with the knowledge and resources necessary to navigate complex compliance requirements effectively. Just last month we saw Florida, Texas, and Oregon go live with new privacy laws and that wasn’t even the biggest news with billions of dollars in fines levied for privacy violations due to improper data privacy practices that caught the eye of regulators. 

The launch of the South Florida based company has a diverse all star team consisting of ex-Meta and Accenture partners, Chewy.com’s C-suite executive, IAPP certified privacy professionals, and other serial founders who've had successful exits recently. The company has been financially backed thanks to Ruddie's previous exits and early growth is being driven through opportunistic referrals from he and the other founders previous ventures and business contacts. While leveraging capital from Ruddie's prior successful exits to ensure a strong foundation for growth and innovation in the data privacy sector, Ruddie says, "I’m so impressed with what we’ve built for 1/80th of what others have in such a short period of time. With a tech stack built for scalability and speed our clients love what we’re delivering behind the scenes."

As a team of compliance superheroes, the driving force behind Captain Compliance, brings a wealth of experience to the table. With a network built up of 180 privacy & compliance experts from all over the world, Ruddie recognized the growing need for comprehensive data privacy solutions in the face of constantly evolving regulations and how having a global presence could help solve a clients needs whether they had issues with LGPD in Brazil or in France with CNIL or the more well known GDPR we have a team of experts to answer any questions at a local level.

"Our goal is to empower businesses with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in an increasingly privacy-conscious world," said Ruddie. "Captain Compliance is committed to making data privacy and compliance accessible and manageable for organizations of all sizes."
