What Hackmetrix does

Hackmetrix is an AI-powered cybersecurity and compliance platform headquartered in Santiago, Chile, with primary legal operations in Mexico City and active sales presence in Colombia and Argentina. Founded in 2014, the company targets Latin American enterprises — particularly fintech, e-commerce, SaaS, and increasingly healthtech and insurtech firms — that need to achieve ISO 27001 and PCI DSS certifications and respond to enterprise security questionnaires. Its core product, Hackmetrix OS, centralizes compliance, evidence, and security controls; AI agents execute policy generation, evidence collection, and audit preparation, which the company markets as enabling certification up to 10x faster than traditional consulting and reducing effort and cost by up to 70%.

The technology stack combines a proprietary compliance automation platform with integrations to AWS, Azure, Google Workspace, Office365, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Trello, and Slack for evidence collection and misconfiguration detection. A conversational AI assistant ("AI Mike") provides 24/7 compliance guidance, and a real-time attack surface monitoring module identifies exposed assets and vulnerabilities. The platform also includes a security questionnaire automation module that promises sub-one-day response times, plus an automated phishing test tool. Hackmetrix holds an AWS Partner Network badge, ISO/IEC 27001 self-certification, and CSA STAR Level 1, and has partnerships with the principal fintech associations in Mexico, Colombia, and Chile.

The company operates a dual revenue model combining annual SaaS subscriptions for the Hackmetrix OS platform with professional services revenue from ethical hacking and pentesting engagements delivered by OSCP-, OSWE-, and OSSTM-certified professionals. GTM is enterprise field sales with localized country-specific websites, quote-based pricing, demo booking CTAs, and expert-guided onboarding. Notable customers include Mercado Libre, Liverpool, Buk, Talana, Fracttal, Xepelin, Buda, Betterfly, and Datamart. The company is venture-backed by Cometa, Tantauco Ventures, MatterScale, P18, Nakama Ventures, Daedalus, Bridge Latam, RaliCap, and Start-up Chile, with approximately $3M in disclosed funding raised across rounds in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023. Adriel Araujo is co-founder and CEO.
