What Josys does

Josys is an AI-native Identity Security & Governance platform headquartered in Tokyo, Japan and incorporated in Singapore as Josys International Pte. Ltd., founded/spun off from Raksul in 2022. The platform unifies identity discovery, governance, monitoring, and security across human, non-human, and AI-agent identities — organized around four capabilities (Discover, Govern, Monitor, Secure) driven by an Autonomous Policy Engine that continuously detects policy drift, auto-remediates low-risk violations, and routes high-risk changes for human approval. The platform integrates natively with 350+ SaaS apps plus major identity providers (Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta), MDMs (Intune, Jamf, NinjaOne), ITSM tools (Jira, Slack), and GenAI ecosystems (Microsoft Copilot, Anthropic Claude). It serves over 1,000 organizations across APAC and North America, with named customers including Mitsubishi Motors, JFE, SBI Holdings, Anker, Tokyu Corporation, Citizen, HIS, and LayerX, plus mid-market FinTech/SaaS firms (iYell, X Capital, Ebbo, Dely).

The core product modules include SaaS Discovery / Identity & App Discovery, AI Agent Discovery & Governance, AI-Powered Integration Builder, Access Automation (Identity Lifecycle Orchestration), Access Reviews, Access Requests & Approvals, Identity Threat Monitoring, Autonomous Policy Workflows, License & Cost Optimization, and Device Management. Josys generates revenue primarily through quote-based SaaS subscriptions sold via a hybrid self-serve PLG funnel (free trial / "Try Now") and enterprise direct sales, augmented by a multi-tenant MSP partner channel and professional services anchored by a SaaS Operations Excellence Center in Chiba City, Japan. GTM is product-led growth with enterprise overlay, and the company has raised approximately $125M in equity (Series A $32M Sept 2022 led by Global Brain; Series B $93M Sept 2023 co-led by Global Brain and Globis Capital Partners) plus $100M in venture debt (Oct 2024) to fund international expansion and product development.

Office locations span Tokyo (HQ), Palo Alto (regional HQ), Singapore (regional HQ), Bangalore (engineering/R&D), and Chiba City (operations support). Headcount is 101–250 employees. Leadership includes founders Yasukane Matsumoto (CEO) and Sanjay Rajasekhar (CTO/Co-founder), and Michael J. Case (CHRO, appointed Jan 2026). Recent strategic emphasis is on AI-agent governance and identity threat monitoring — categories that did not exist at founding in 2022.
