About Datamaran
Datamaran is the AI-powered governance platform for enterprise.
Regulations change. Stakeholders shift. Markets move. Large organizations are expected to hold a clear, defensible position on all of it, and most still get there through slow manual work on fragmented signals.
We turn regulatory, stakeholder and market signals into intelligence that leadership teams can act on, built on 12+ years of expertise in non-financial risk. Risk, legal, compliance, sustainability and corporate affairs teams at Bridgestone, Dell, Cisco, Kraft Heinz and PepsiCo use Datamaran to decide what matters, and to stand behind that decision afterwards.
We are 100+ people across the UK, US, Spain and the Netherlands.
