About Armor
Armor is a cybersecurity and managed detection and response provider for regulated industries. It sells cloud security and compliance services to organisations that must meet rules such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, NIST CSF, ISO 27001 and GDPR. Its customers include firms in FinTech, HealthTech and High-Tech, and it says it serves over 1,700 organisations in 40 countries. The company runs a global security operations centre staffed by analysts who monitor for threats around the clock, hunt for hidden activity and respond to incidents. A separate governance, risk and compliance team advises on compliance strategy, gap analysis and audit preparation. Armor also offers resilient cloud infrastructure for sensitive workloads and a platform that unifies detection, AI-assisted intelligence and multi-cloud control. Its platform, Nexus, gives customers a consolidated view of threats, incidents and response actions. Armor Dash connects to source systems and quantifies risk in dollars using FAIR while tracking compliance. The company says its AI tools summarise and triage incidents and map activity to MITRE ATT&CK.
