Overview

Durava is a compliance and regulatory technology platform for internal audit departments in regulated organizations, including insurers and financial institutions. Founded in 2024 in Cologne, the company delivers an AI-assisted audit lifecycle system that supports Solvency II and SFCR reporting requirements alongside a broad set of additional regulatory frameworks.

The platform automates each phase of the audit process -- from annual planning through execution, reporting, and follow-up -- using AI to analyze documents, identify risks, and generate compliance reports. Rather than sampling-based reviews, the system applies coverage to the full document set, reducing audit report generation time from weeks to hours. All data is processed on German infrastructure under GDPR-compliant terms, with customer documents isolated from AI model training.

Durava targets internal audit and compliance teams at banks, insurers, and critical infrastructure operators. The platform supports multiple regulatory frameworks relevant to the European insurance sector including Solvency II, SFCR, DORA, NIS2, MaRisk, TISAX, ISO 27001, and Basel III. The company is early-stage with no publicly disclosed funding and claims rapid time-to-value with deployment measured in days rather than months.
