There’s a new signal cutting through the cybersecurity noise, and it’s coming from Texas. DigitalXForce just secured $5 million in strategic funding at a $100 million valuation, led by Innovating Capital and Kapital.io, with new strategic investors from India and the Middle East stepping into the mix. Not bad for a company founded in 2023. While most startups that age are still building pitch decks, DigitalXForce is out here replacing legacy GRC relics like RSA Archer and ServiceNow IRM with an AI-native platform that doesn’t just track risk, it predicts it.
Founder and CEO Lalit Ahluwalia spent two decades watching the industry confuse compliance with security. Now he’s calling time on that illusion. DigitalXForce runs on real-time, continuous, automated risk posture management. It’s not waiting for an audit cycle, it’s living in the now. For Fortune 500 players across finance, healthcare, energy, and critical infrastructure, that means clarity in motion, knowing your security posture second by second, not 6 months later in a spreadsheet.
The magic sits inside DigitalXForce’s own AI engines, XForce GPT and AI-ShivAI, driving its Risk Operations Center (X-ROC™). Think of it as mission control for risk, always on, always adapting, always translating chaos into signal. The platform automates compliance, validates controls, and maps attack surfaces with a “trust but verify” mindset that gives CISOs what they’ve been begging for, truth without paperwork.
Lalit Ahluwalia didn’t build this alone. COO Rashmi Chandrasekhar leads APAC operations with surgical precision. Chief Client Success Officer and Field CISO Desiree Wilson ensures enterprises don’t just deploy, they evolve. Middle East Region Lead Kapil Matta turns market expansion into an art form, while Global Industry Lead Gurdeep Kaur fuses CISO wisdom with boardroom strategy. Together, they’re crafting what every security leader actually wants, a living, breathing ecosystem of trust that scales faster than the threat landscape.
The new capital powers an aggressive global push, doubling headcount, expanding across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC, and deepening integrations across 250+ tech stacks. The goal isn’t to automate compliance, it’s to eliminate it. Because when security becomes continuous, compliance becomes automatic.
