Co-Founder & CEO, ProfytAI · Advisor
Compliance is broken by design. I'm building the infrastructure to redesign it.
I'm Jeff Kangar. I co-founded ProfytAI to build defensible compliance infrastructure for regulated institutions, replacing manual, fragmented compliance work with continuous posture management. I also work selectively with executive teams on high-stakes security and compliance decisions.

What I do
Build
ActiveProfytAI is where my focus lives. We build defensible compliance infrastructure for regulated institutions, replacing manual, fragmented operations with continuous posture management. Regulated organizations get permanent audit readiness instead of a six-week scramble before every review.
Built with AI underneath to support obligation mapping, evidence traceability, and continuous audit readiness, with human review kept at the decision points.
Built for regulated industries: fintech, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. Registered in Singapore and building into Southeast Asia's fastest-growing markets first, where compliance frameworks are tightening at pace and the infrastructure to meet them has not kept up.
Strategic Advisory
I work with a select number of executive teams on high-stakes security and compliance decisions. I advise boards and C-suites navigating complex risk environments where the cost of getting it wrong is significant.
Develop People
Talent is everywhere. Access to the right rooms is not. I invest time in people building careers in cybersecurity and tech, particularly those who have had to work twice as hard for the same seat at the table.
What people say
"Jeff's track record of successfully managing complex projects and building security teams from the ground up is truly commendable.

What sets Jeff apart is his technical depth, consistently positive attitude, and willingness to roll up his sleeves to assist wherever needed."
