Armed with ARMOR, Seclore gets future-ready
In a major shift, Mumbai-based Seclore has repositioned itself as a data security intelligence entity, from being a data-centric security platform. This reflects a fundamental shift in how enterprises must secure and govern sensitive data in an AI-driven operating model.
The company, a Series C-funded entity, was founded in 2011 to solve a persistent challenge in cybersecurity – the loss of control over data once it leaves traditional network, system, or perimeter-based defences. It has now also unveiled Seclore ARMOR (Automated Risk Management, Orchestration and Resilience), a new data security intelligence platform designed to help organisations maintain trust, control and accountability over their data as artificial intelligence becomes embedded across core business workflows.
The announcement comes as enterprises deploy AI systems that read, generate, summarise and act on data at scale, often without direct human oversight. This shift has expanded sensitive data flows beyond people, applications and cloud environments, to GenAI tools and AI agents, exposing the limits of security models built for perimeters, locations and static data access controls.
“AI has fundamentally changed the nature of enterprise data risk,” says Vishal Gauri, CEO, Seclore. “Data now flows through AI in the same way it flows through people, but without the same level of visibility or accountability. If organisations want to scale AI responsibly, they must be able to trust and control how their data is used across every interaction. That is why Seclore has evolved into a data security intelligence company and why we built ARMOR to help enterprises turn data and AI risk into operational readiness and board-level confidence.”
Seclore ARMOR serves as the company’s data security intelligence platform, bringing together data discovery, intelligent classification, persistent protection, continuous enforcement and usage insight within a single control model. Unlike traditional tools that focus only on visibility or reporting, ARMOR discovers data, derives context, secures the data itself and ensures that protection travels with it, whether the data is accessed by employees, shared with partners or consumed by AI systems.
Continuous insight
The platform delivers continuous insight into how data is accessed and used, applies context-aware controls in real time and produces audit-ready evidence of compliant data handling. This allows organisations to enforce consistent policies across people and AI, while preserving operational agility and strengthening regulatory confidence.
“Security leaders today are expected to enable AI adoption without slowing business innovation,” affirms Justin Endres, chief revenue officer, Seclore. “This requires a shift from perimeter-based security to intelligence-driven data control, where policy, enforcement and evidence operate continuously across people and AI. ARMOR gives organisations the clarity, control and assurance needed to demonstrate trust to regulators, customers, and internal stakeholders.”
As enterprises face growing pressure from regulators, customers, and leadership teams to demonstrate responsible data use, Data Security Intelligence is emerging as a foundational requirement for safe AI adoption. By securing data across its entire lifecycle, Seclore helps organisations move from reactive risk management to proactive data and AI readiness.
The launch of ARMOR marks a significant milestone in Seclore’s evolution and reinforces its mission to help enterprises trust and control their data wherever people and AI work, enabling them to share data and adopt AI with confidence. Built to scale for complex enterprise deployments, Seclore supports regulatory compliance across frameworks including GDPR, CCPA, NIST and PCI-DSS through centralised policy management, continuous enforcement, and audit-ready reporting.
Seclore has raised $46 million to date, including a $27 million Series C round in 2022, led by Origami Capital Partners and Oquirrh Ventures, supporting global expansion and product innovation. Today, Seclore secures sensitive data for more than 500 global enterprises and supports major government and defence organisations across over 40 countries. Trusted by organisations including American Express, Applied Materials, ADM, Saudi Telecom, ICICI group, Ford, Aramco and IDFC Bank, Seclore enables secure collaboration, responsible AI adoption, and sustained trust and control over enterprise data.
