AI security platform providing an AI-native verification layer to secure and govern real-time enterprise AI interactions and ensure compliance.
Ciphero is an enterprise software company based in an undisclosed location that develops an artificial intelligence verification layer to secure and govern corporate AI interactions in real-time. The platform captures AI usage across employees, autonomous agents, and large language models to prevent data leaks, detect shadow AI, and enforce strict compliance policies independent of specific AI vendors. Unlike traditional security tools, the software dynamically verifies probabilistic AI systems for enterprise risk management. The early-stage company operates on a software-as-a-service business model and recently secured $2.5 million in an oversubscribed pre-seed funding round. This initial financing was co-led by venture capital firms Sovereign’s Capital and Chingona Ventures to support ongoing product development. Ciphero was founded in 2025 by Saoud Khalifah and Rob Gross, who previously built and sold the digital authentication startup Fakespot to the technology company Mozilla.
