Dawnguard, an AI-native RegTech and cybersecurity platform built around secure-by-design cloud architecture, has secured $3.3m in fresh pre-seed capital as its automation platform reaches general availability and the firm pushes into new markets internationally.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The round was led by existing investor BNVT Capital, with participation from Curiosity VC in the Netherlands and Germany-based eCAPITAL. The latest funding brings Dawnguard\u2019s total capital raised to more than $6.3m. Alongside the investment, the company has opened a New York City office as it expands beyond Europe.<\/p>\n

Dawnguard was founded by cybersecurity professionals with experience across IBM, Microsoft, Amazon and military cyber operations. The company provides an AI-native platform designed to embed security into the earliest stages of cloud architecture, helping organisations adopt \u201cshift-left\u201d security by integrating compliance and risk controls during system design rather than after deployment.<\/p>\n

The company is targeting what it sees as a widening gap in cybersecurity as AI-assisted software development accelerates the speed at which systems are designed and deployed. According to Dawnguard, traditional security models that rely on identifying and remediating threats after deployment are becoming less effective as vulnerabilities emerge earlier in the development process.<\/p>\n

Its platform enables organisations to design secure cloud architectures before deployment, automatically generate infrastructure as code and continuously validate live environments against approved architectural standards. The platform is also designed to reduce \u201csecurity drift\u201d, where deployed infrastructure gradually diverges from its intended design and compliance requirements over time.<\/p>\n

By embedding regulatory and security controls directly into engineering workflows, Dawnguard aims to help engineering and security teams identify and address risks earlier in the software development lifecycle.<\/p>\n
