CultureAI one of 6 selected for Cyber Runway Scale X programme, supporting the UK’s most promising cyber scaleups
Manchester, UK: CultureAI, the AI Security and Governance platform helping organisations enable safe and compliant AI adoption, has been selected to join Cyber Runway: Scale X, the UK’s leading growth programme for cyber scaleups, delivered by Plexal and funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).
The ScaleX programme brings together 6 high-growth UK cyber companies for a six-month initiative designed to help founders overcome the barriers to scale: from funding and talent to entering new markets.
Scale X provides one-to-one support, practical guidance, and access to a powerful network of peers, investors, and industry partners.
Diane Gilbert, Senior Lead of Programmes at Plexal, said:
“No matter the sector, all businesses will inevitably hit a wall when they reach a certain size, whether it comes to funding, talent or new market entry. With Cyber Runway Scale X, we want to be the hammer scaleups can use to break barricades down.
The cyber realm is vast and continues to evolve with new threats, so it’s essential the organisations working hard to keep us safe online are guided in the right direction to ensure their rapid growth doesn’t stall.
We’re thrilled with the calibre of scaleups we’ve chosen and look forward to the next six months and beyond.”
James Moore, Founder and CEO of CultureAI, said:
“This is an important moment for us. AI is moving faster than governance can keep up, and organisations need new tools to control how employees use AI: safely, compliantly, and at scale.
We built CultureAI to solve that problem, enabling teams to use AI tools without fear, while giving CISOs and compliance leaders the visibility and control they’ve been missing.
Being part of Cyber Runway Scale X puts us alongside other founders driving the next phase of the UK’s cyber innovation story.”
CultureAI’s inclusion in Scale X reflects the growing importance of AI Usage Control, a new category recognised by Gartner within cyber security focused on making AI adoption safe, measurable, and compliant.
CultureAI's platform helps organisations detect unsafe AI use, coach employees in real time, and apply adaptive guardrails to prevent data loss or compliance breaches without slowing innovation.
The Cyber Runway Scale X programme officially launches this week, beginning with the Founders’ Retreat in Manchester.
