A day after Delve’s founder and CEO Karun Kaushik published a lengthy post on X denying allegations of faking evidence for compliance audits, the anonymous accuser, DeepDelver, posted again. DeepDelver doubled down, presenting alleged receipts including a video and Slack messages, and hinted at more posts to come.
Delve, a company that automates obtaining security certifications and compliance with laws like GDPR, was founded by 21-year-old MIT dropouts and graduated from Y Combinator in 2023. The founders raised a $32 million Series A round last summer led by Insight, shortly after its $3 million seed round.
While some believe security certifications and audits are meaningless for protecting against incidents, Delve customer LiteLLM recently suffered a viral incident when its project was infected with malware after using Delve for security certifications.
