Rhymetec Expands Its Reach with New European Operations and Partnerships

Rhymetec's Global Move: Expansion into Europe

Rhymetec, renowned as a frontrunner in cloud security solutions, has unveiled significant plans to broaden its operations in Europe. As of July 29, 2025, the company is on the brink of establishing its presence across European markets, marking a pivotal step in its global growth strategy. This effort comes in response to the escalating demand for cybersecurity and compliance services in an increasingly interconnected world.

With the introduction of an international team, Rhymetec is committed to addressing the unique regulations and challenges faced by businesses in Europe, especially regarding the complexities of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the NIS 2 Directive, and the EU AI Act. The company has already initiated its expansion in the region by hiring its first European-based employee and relocating a senior manager to oversee the establishment of its European footprint.

Strategic Leadership for European Expansion

Justin Rende, the founder and CEO of Rhymetec, emphasized the necessity of this expansion, stating, "Expanding internationally is a natural step in our mission to support fast-growing SaaS companies wherever they do business." The company's goal is not merely reactive; it's about forming proactive partnerships with clients, enabling them to navigate the labyrinth of global regulations while retaining the confidence to scale securely.

Kyle Jones, the Information Security Manager at Rhymetec, is at the forefront of this initiative, leading the newly formed European team. In his words, establishing a base in Europe means that "we can meet our clients where they are, both literally and strategically." This local presence ensures that Rhymetec can provide nuanced insights and timely support to its clients during business hours.

Enhanced Services Through Strategic Partnerships

In addition to expanding its physical presence, Rhymetec is also enhancing its service offerings by partnering with Anecdotes, a provider of AI-native Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) solutions. Rhymetec has become an authorized reseller of Anecdotes’ platform, which equips fast-growing SaaS companies with the necessary tools to manage their compliance more effectively. This strategic alliance empowers Rhymetec's clients to be audit-ready, streamline operations, and scale up with confidence in regulatory environments.

Ryan Lieser, Vice President of Alliances at Anecdotes, highlighted the value of working alongside Rhymetec: "The company's global expansion and focus on holistic InfoSec programs make their support incredibly valuable to our shared customers." This partnership illustrates Rhymetec's commitment to not only fulfilling compliance obligations but also moving beyond mere 'box-checking' to ensuring robust security frameworks that resonate with their clients' business needs.

Commitment to Compliance and Security

Earlier in the year, Rhymetec achieved recognition as a Registered Provider Organization (RPO) under the U.S. Department of Defense's CMMC program, underlining its increasing role in national security compliance. This designation reinforces Rhymetec's credibility and capability to aid contractors in meeting stringent cybersecurity requirements, and it underscores their ongoing collaboration with partners like A-LIGN, a certified CMMC C3PAO.

Rhymetec's expansion into Europe and its innovative partnerships signal a new chapter in its growth trajectory, allowing them to serve their expanding global client base more effectively. The company reiterates its commitment to evolving businesses' cybersecurity and data privacy strategies amid rapidly changing regulatory landscapes.

As businesses grapple with the complexities of international compliance, Rhymetec stands ready to provide invaluable support, ensuring their clients can focus on their core business processes while confidently meeting the new challenges of a global marketplace.
