DoControl, which develops no-code tools for cloud app log-ins, raises a $30M Series B led by Insight Partners
Cloud security is one of the big drivers among enterprises making IT investments this year, according to a recent report from Gartner, which estimated that some $4.4 trillion in IT spend overall in 2022.
Context & Ripple Effects
DoControl's $30M Series B lands in a funding lane Insight Partners knows well: the firm has been repeatedly backing tools that give non-specialists control over sprawling IT estates, from ControlUp's desktop-performance monitoring to Tines' no-code automation for security teams. DoControl applies the same playbook to cloud app log-ins — no-code tooling for a problem that traditionally demanded security engineering headcount.
First-order effects
- DoControl gains the capital to scale its no-code cloud app access tooling at exactly the moment Gartner flags cloud security as a top driver of the estimated $4.4 trillion enterprises will spend on IT in 2022.
- Insight Partners adds another security-adjacent asset to a portfolio where it has since doubled down, later leading ScaleOps' $130M cloud-spend Series C.
Second-order effects
- Rivals selling SaaS access controls with engineer-heavy implementations now compete against a no-code pitch that shortens deployment — the same wedge Tines used against traditional security-automation workflows.
- Insight's reported ~$2.7B windfall from Wiz's reported sale to Google gives the firm fresh capital to keep seeding this exact category, raising the bar for other investors chasing cloud-security deals.
Third-order effects
- If the pattern holds, security tooling keeps abstracting toward no-code interfaces — control maturity defined per workflow rather than per specialist team — pushing vendors of all stripes to make their products operable by IT generalists.
- Recycled exits from earlier cloud-security winners like Wiz are becoming the funding engine for the next vendor generation, concentrating category-defining rounds in fewer, deeper-pocketed hands.
The trend: Cloud-security exits are recycling into a new wave of no-code security and IT-control startups, with Insight Partners acting as the connective tissue between generations.
