Whalemate: Human Risk Management for companies

Whalemate is a human risk management platform. Human risk is the hardest vector to control with technology alone: it is measured and managed with real data that generates sustainable behavioral change.

Mission

Help organizations reduce human risk through an effective platform and actionable analytics.

Vision

Be the leading human risk management platform in Latin America, transforming security culture.

Values

Speed, ownership, teamwork and excellence are the core of our Whale Team.

What makes it different

Human Risk Management built for LATAM

Agentic technology

An agent coordinates program decisions using rules and signals, so campaigns and reinforcement respond to context.

Close managed service

Smart includes an account analyst, annual plan, course and campaign management, and periodic follow-up.

Languages and regional context

The product and site are available in Spanish, English, and Brazilian Portuguese, with content and scenarios for LATAM teams.

Plans and context-based pricing

Smart, Growth, and Enterprise adapt to the program. Billing is per employee under an annual contract, and quotes are defined in conversation.

About

A product company that operates the human factor in LATAM

Whalemate exists because the perimeter is not enough and the annual course does not manage risk. This section explains the method, scale, and people that put it into practice.

Human risk is the vector technology alone does not close. That is why the product measures behavior, intervenes by profile, and leaves evidence. The team brings together cybersecurity, engineering, product, content, and customer success. The mission is to reduce it with a platform and with analytics you can use. The vision is to be the human-risk-management reference in Latin America. The values we declare, speed, ownership, teamwork, and excellence, are judged on the account, not on a wall.

We work with organizations that already have a CISO, an IdP, and an auditor, or that are building all three. The context is LATAM: languages, channels, local rules, procurement that asks for a DPA. We do not sell a global pack that was translated. Content and simulations are designed so the roster recognizes them. If a customer story is published, it is under cases. If it is not, we do not tell it here under a pseudonym.

More than a press kit with ARR metrics, Whalemate is a method: understand the roster, calibrate the program, operate with evidence. The Trust Center is for whoever buys. Webinars and reports, when they exist, are the public voice.

How it works

How we work with a customer

Context

Industry, countries, program maturity, IdP, what audit asks for. Without that map the rollout is a template. Customer success and the account analyst lift it. The customer’s security and People validate it.

Calibration

Roster, scenarios, languages, thresholds, data governance. The first campaign is not a blast to “show value.” It is the proof that the directory enters and that the lure is understood. The Agent takes those rules.

Operations

Simulations, reinforcement, reports, adjustment. The managed layer exists when the internal team does not want to operate alone. Professional services cover what the product does not do natively. The QBR talks evolution, not a cover click rate.

Questions about Whalemate

Where do you operate, and in which languages?
The product and site are in Spanish, English, and Brazilian Portuguese. Whalemate is present in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and Paraguay, with expansion to the United States. Data-residency detail is agreed in the DPA.
Are you an MSSP or a platform?
A Human Risk Management platform, with support plans and professional services. We are not the customer’s SOC. We do not monitor the perimeter. The partner or MSSP that wants to resell is discussed under partners. The product is discussed here and in the demo.
Can I meet the team or the founders?
Public team profiles appear under About as they are published. If you need a press brief, use contact with a partnerships or press reason.
Where do I see vendor security and customer cases?
Trust Center and DPA for the vendor. Case studies for validated narratives. Reports and webinars only when material is published. If one of those grids is empty, it is empty. We do not fill “about” with an anonymous case and a metric.
How does a Whalemate program begin?
The start defines industry, countries, languages, roster, and what security, People, and audit need to observe. Scenarios, rules, and data governance are then calibrated before simulations, reinforcement, and reporting operate.
Can Whalemate integrate with a company directory?
The platform includes an integrations layer for SSO, SCIM, directory, and API. The applicable setup for each organization is reviewed during program evaluation and against its security requirements.
