NayaOne

What NayaOne does

NayaOne is a London-based SaaS company that provides Vendor Evaluation Infrastructure (VEI) for financial institutions. Founded in 2019 and headquartered at Salisbury House, London Wall, the company has built a cloud-based platform that decouples third-party technology evaluation from the production core, enabling banks, insurers, regulators, and technology vendors to discover, test, validate, and onboard third-party technology in air-gapped, compliant sandbox environments.

The platform is architected as four integrated modules: Digital Sandbox (air-gapped secure workspaces), Enterprise Technology Marketplace (a pre-vetted vendor catalog with on-demand vendor invitation), Synthetic Data (privacy-preserving datasets mirroring real financial data including bank statements, identity documents, fraudulent transactions, and loan applications), and Innovation Hackathons. An AI Sandbox extends the platform for AI/ML model risk validation. The technology stack is integrated with AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and NVIDIA ecosystems, and the company maintains ISO 27001, SOC, and GDPR compliance certifications. NayaOne claims its platform reduces discovery-to-validation time by 70%, compressing the typical 12-18 month vendor evaluation cycle into weeks.

Revenue is generated through subscription-based SaaS platform access and Professional Services governed by Statements of Work, with quote-based enterprise pricing and multi-year contracts. The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales targeting Tier-1 financial institutions, supplemented by channel partnerships (Deloitte, cloud marketplaces) and regulatory/government partnerships (UK FCA, CzechInvest, UK Department for Business and Trade). Named enterprise customers include Valley National Bank, Lloyds Banking Group, and Barclays. Geographic footprint spans the UK, US, Germany, and the Czech Republic, supported by approximately $6.2M in total disclosed funding across a 2021 seed round and a February 2024 Series A led by EJF Capital.

Core offering

NayaOne sells a cloud-based Vendor Evaluation Infrastructure (VEI) SaaS platform that lets financial institutions discover, test, validate, and onboard third-party technology in air-gapped, synthetic-data-powered sandboxes. The platform bundles a Digital Sandbox, an Enterprise Technology Marketplace of pre-vetted vendors, Synthetic Data Libraries, Innovation Hackathons, and an AI Sandbox, and is delivered as quote-based enterprise subscriptions supported by Professional Services under Statements of Work.

Product overview

NayaOne is vendor evaluation infrastructure for financial institutions. The platform is architected as a unified SaaS platform comprising four integrated modules: Digital Sandbox (air-gapped secure workspaces for experimentation), Enterprise Technology Marketplace (pre-vetted vendor access), Synthetic Data (privacy-preserving synthetic datasets), and Innovation Hackathons (structured evaluation events). These modules are underpinned by Vendor Evaluation Infrastructure (VEI) that integrates Secure Workspaces, the Vendor Enterprise Gateway, and Synthetic Data Libraries into a single evaluation workflow. The platform also includes an AI Sandbox feature for testing AI and ML systems. NayaOne's key differentiator is reducing discovery-to-validation time by 70%, enabling enterprise teams to move from vendor discovery to decision in weeks rather than months.

Direct peers

• OneTrust: OneTrust is a leading third-party risk management (TPRM) and trust intelligence platform serving large enterprises.

• ProcessUnity: ProcessUnity provides a third-party risk management and vendor lifecycle management platform used by financial institutions. It is comparable to NayaOne because both target the same bank/vendor risk management buying centre and focus on generating decision-grade evidence for procurement approval.

Broad incumbents

• SecurityScorecard: SecurityScorecard is a large, established cybersecurity ratings and vendor risk management platform. It is comparable because it operates in the same vendor risk intelligence space serving financial institutions, though its ratings-driven approach is broader and less specialised than NayaOne's sandbox-based evaluation.
• Bitsight: Bitsight is a major security ratings and vendor risk management vendor widely adopted by financial institutions. It is comparable because both serve bank/vendor risk teams, though Bitsight operates as a broad incumbent with a ratings-driven model rather than NayaOne's sandbox testing approach.

Emerging players

• Safe Security: Safe Security provides AI-driven cyber risk quantification and vendor risk management. It is comparable to NayaOne because both target bank risk and security teams with technology-driven risk evaluation, though Safe Security focuses on continuous quantitative risk scoring rather than sandbox validation.
• Mostly AI: Mostly AI is a synthetic data generation platform that mirrors the structure and behaviour of real data without sensitive information. It is comparable to NayaOne because synthetic data is a core component of NayaOne's vendor evaluation infrastructure; Mostly AI represents the underlying technology layer that NayaOne bundles.
• Tonic.ai: Tonic.ai is a synthetic data and data masking platform for development and testing environments. It is comparable to NayaOne because synthetic data generation is a core pillar of NayaOne's offering, and Tonic.ai represents a competing technology layer that financial institutions could choose to integrate directly.

Others

• Deloitte (Regulatory and Financial Services Practice): Deloitte is both a NayaOne partner and an adjacent competitor in financial services vendor risk and regulatory sandbox advisory. It is comparable because it influences the same enterprise vendor evaluation buying decisions, though it operates primarily as a consulting services firm rather than a SaaS vendor.
