Enterprise TRiSCM™ innovator advances Continuous Control Assurance, cyber risk quantification and real-time Risk Operations across global enterprises, transforming traditional GRC into proactive Digital Trust

DALLAS, Oct. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DigitalXForce, the AI-native Enterprise Trust, Risk, Security and Compliance Management (TRiSCM™) platform, today announced the continued global rollout of X-ROC™ (XForce Risk Operations Center), its AI-powered approach to continuous enterprise risk operations.

The expansion builds on DigitalXForce's recognition as a Leader in two IDC MarketScape assessments, its 2026 Cyber Defense Magazine innovation honors, and increasing enterprise demand for automated, continuous approaches to managing cybersecurity, governance, risk and compliance.

Unlike traditional Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) platforms that primarily document risks and manage periodic assessments, DigitalXForce's X-ROC combines Continuous Control Assurance (CCA), Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM), Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ), AI-powered risk intelligence and remediation orchestration into an integrated risk operations model.

The objective is to help enterprises move beyond knowing whether controls are documented to continuously understand whether controls are operating effectively, which exposures matter most, and what action should be taken next.

New Research Reveals Why Traditional Security Scores Are Not Enough

The company's DigitalXForce Security Posture Benchmark 2026, analyzing published security control responses from 2,112 companies, reveals a significant disconnect between high-level compliance scores and underlying security exposure.

Key findings include:

98.9% median control implementation: The median company reported 98.9% of applicable security controls in place, yet significant control gaps remained.
54.9% reported data protection gaps: More than half of companies reported at least one missing control in the Data Protection and Encryption domain.
52.0% reported encryption and key management gaps: Among 2,098 companies responding, 52.0% reported at least one control not in place.
42.3% reported configuration and asset management gaps: Demonstrating continued exposure in foundational security practices.
26.7% reported full control implementation: More than one-quarter reported all applicable controls in place under the benchmark's assessment model.

The benchmark evaluated responses against DigitalXForce's proprietary model of 94 controls across 12 domains, with mappings to NIST SP 800-53, NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and CIS Controls v8.1.

These findings highlight an important enterprise risk challenge: a high security or compliance score does not necessarily reveal which remaining control failures could create the greatest business impact.

DigitalXForce developed X-ROC to address this challenge by connecting control failures and changing risk conditions with supporting evidence, quantified business impact and accountable remediation workflows.

X-ROC: Bringing Operational Intelligence to Enterprise Risk

A Risk Operations Center (ROC) is an operating model designed to continuously identify, assess, prioritize, monitor and reduce enterprise risk.

While a traditional Security Operations Center (SOC) focuses on security threats and incidents, a Risk Operations Center focuses on the organization's broader exposure, control effectiveness, business impact and risk remediation.

DigitalXForce X-ROC™ brings these capabilities together through an integrated operating model:

1. Continuous Risk Discovery and Monitoring

X-ROC ingests security posture changes, control failures, third-party risk events and other enterprise risk signals, connecting them with the underlying evidence.

2. Continuous Control Assurance and Automation

DigitalXForce CCA continuously validates control effectiveness through evidence collection, automated testing and ongoing monitoring. CCM provides the monitoring capability within CCA, tracking control conditions and associated risk signals.

3. AI-Powered Risk Intelligence

DigitalXForce's proprietary AI engines, AI JedAI and XForce GPT, analyze risk signals, correlate related findings, support prioritization and generate business-oriented risk narratives and executive reporting, with analyst review.

4. Cyber Risk Quantification

Rather than prioritizing findings solely by technical severity, X-ROC incorporates quantified financial exposure and business impact to help organizations identify which risks deserve attention first.

5. Remediation Orchestration and Validation

X-ROC assigns risk ownership, tracks remediation against defined timelines and supports integration with enterprise workflow platforms such as ServiceNow and Jira.

Findings are validated through control retesting before closure, creating an evidence-based approach to risk reduction.

6. Executive Digital Trust Intelligence

X-ROC connects operational risk findings with broader enterprise trust, security, compliance and resilience reporting, helping CISOs, CROs, compliance leaders and boards understand the organization's changing risk posture.

CEO Perspective: Redefining Enterprise Risk Operations

"X-ROC is redefining enterprise risk operations. By combining AI, continuous control assurance and risk intelligence, we're helping global enterprises move from reacting to risk to staying ahead of it."

— Lalit Ahluwalia, Founder & CEO, DigitalXForce

Global Enterprise Adoption of Continuous Risk Operations

DigitalXForce is advancing the adoption of X-ROC across its international enterprise customer ecosystem, supporting organizations seeking to consolidate fragmented governance, cybersecurity, compliance and risk management operations.

X-ROC supports two operating models:

Enterprise-operated Risk Operations Center: Organizations operate X-ROC directly using DigitalXForce's platform, workflows, integrations and risk intelligence capabilities.
Managed Risk Operations: DigitalXForce operates the risk operations layer as a managed service, providing continuous monitoring, prioritization and reporting while customers retain ownership of remediation actions.

The platform supports cloud and hybrid deployment architectures, enabling organizations to address enterprise security, operational and regional data residency requirements.

This flexibility is particularly relevant to multinational organizations managing complex regulatory requirements, multiple business units, distributed technology environments and third-party ecosystems.

Independent Industry Recognition Reinforces DigitalXForce's Momentum

DigitalXForce's X-ROC strategy builds on broader industry recognition of the company's Enterprise TRiSCM™ platform and AI-powered risk management innovation.

Dual IDC MarketScape Leader Recognition

DigitalXForce was positioned as a Leader in:

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Governance, Risk, and Compliance Software Vendor Assessment, 2025 (Doc #US53615325, June 2025).
IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Third-Party Risk Management Software 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US53007725, September 2026).

These assessments evaluated vendor capabilities and strategies in their respective markets.

DigitalXForce's recognition across both GRC and Third-Party Risk Management reflects its positioning across interconnected enterprise risk disciplines, supported by a unified platform architecture.

Cyber Defense Magazine Innovation Honors

DigitalXForce has also received recognition through the 2026 Cyber Defense Magazine Global InfoSec Awards, including innovation honors associated with AI TRiSCM, Automated GRC with Continuous Control Assurance, and X-ROC.

These recognitions contribute to DigitalXForce's growing industry profile as it advances AI-powered governance, risk management and continuous assurance.

From GRC to Enterprise TRiSCM™: One Platform for Digital Trust

DigitalXForce's Enterprise TRiSCM™ platform integrates 15 modules on a unified data layer, supporting more than 50 compliance frameworks and 250 technology integrations.

The architecture enables security, compliance, audit, risk and third-party risk teams to work from connected controls, shared evidence and continuously updated risk information rather than isolated tools and periodic assessments.

The platform is designed to enable five fundamental shifts:

From Periodic GRC → Continuous Control Assurance

From Fragmented Security Tools → Unified Enterprise Risk Intelligence

From Technical Severity → Quantified Business Risk

From Manual Remediation Tracking → Evidence-Based Risk Operations

From Compliance Reporting → Continuous Digital Trust

X-ROC serves as the operational layer of this strategy, connecting enterprise risk signals with prioritization, accountability and validated remediation.

Building the Future of AI-Powered Risk Operations

As enterprises accelerate adoption of cloud services, AI, autonomous technologies and complex third-party ecosystems, risk exposure is becoming increasingly dynamic.

DigitalXForce believes enterprise risk management must evolve accordingly.

The company's vision is to make risk management a continuous operational capability rather than a periodic reporting exercise.

Through X-ROC, Continuous Control Assurance, AI-powered analysis and cyber risk quantification, DigitalXForce is working to establish a new operating model in which enterprises can identify emerging exposures, prioritize them based on business impact and verify that corrective actions are effective.

The SOC manages security incidents. X-ROC manages enterprise risk.

The future of GRC is not another dashboard. It is continuous, intelligent Risk Operations
