Schellman, a global leader in cybersecurity compliance and attestation services, today announced a strategic investment from Private Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. The partnership marks a significant milestone for the firm and reflects alignment with an investor who shares Schellman's long-term vision and deep respect for the culture, people, and operating model that have made it one of the most trusted names in independent cybersecurity compliance. Lightyear Capital has been the majority investor in Schellman since 2021 and will continue to be a minority investor in the company going forward.

For more than 20 years, Schellman has earned the confidence of leading global organizations by delivering independent, expert-led assessments that clients and their customers trust.
