XFA stands for a future where security is an enabler, not a roadblock. We secure the critical blind spot of unmanaged devices by verifying health at the moment of login. With XFA, organizations achieve 100% visibility and compliance without the "friction hours" of traditional tools.
Algemene beschrijving (incl. samenvatting van onderstaande vier punten, deze beschrijving wordt gepubliceerd)
XFA secures every device used for work by identifying risks and verifying compliance at login — while preserving privacy and requiring minimal effort. Founded in 2023, XFA stands for a future where security is an enabler, not a roadblock. We solve a critical blind spot where traditional tools leave 60% of devices (such as BYOD and freelancers) unknown and vulnerable.
Our platform closes this gap in three steps:
XFA Discovery provides full visibility into these unknown devices in just a few clicks, without requiring software installation.
XFA Awareness automatically notifies users of risks and guides them to fix issues themselves, helping them stay productive.
Our flagship XFA Enforce adds device health as an authentication factor, ensuring only safe devices access company data.
This creates a privacy-respecting alternative to MDM that works on any device, corporate or personal.

XFA disrupts the device security market by shifting from "management" to "device health verification".
Problem Solving: We secure the “unknown” or "ignored" devices (contractors, BYOD, freelancers, personal devices) that IT teams can't manage with traditional MDM due to privacy or logistical issues.
Technology: Unlike intrusive agents, our platform uses lightweight checks to verify device health (OS updates, encryption) directly at the authentication stage (integrating with Okta, Microsoft, Google).
Disruption: We automate the entire lifecycle (discovery, user awareness, and enforcement at login) allowing users to easily self-onboard and fix issues themselves without IT intervention.

We target the growing number of organizations embracing hybrid work and AI-native environments.
Distinctiveness: While competitors force heavy management software on users, XFA is the solution designed specifically for the unmanaged/BYOD gap, ensuring privacy while meeting strict compliance standards (ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA).
Successes: We are already securing thousands of devices for global organizations from the US to Singapore, with a strong focus on the European market.
Scaling: Our technology allows for rapid deployment, averaging just 15 minutes for a full company setup, enabling us to scale seamlessly as customers grow.

Founded by two former CISOs (one a former hacker and the other a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins), XFA combines deep offensive and defensive security expertise. The founders are joined by a team that has successfully helped build multiple start-ups. We operate as a small, multi-talented unit that is heavily leveraged by the power of AI, allowing us to execute faster and more efficiently than traditional large teams.

Vision: To make device security simple, effective, and accessible for every organization, ensuring that the only difference between devices is preference, not security.
Scalability: We have built a platform that scales automatically to thousands of devices without adding IT overhead.
Plans: With our recent €1.5M funding, we are accelerating our push into the European market, specifically targeting sectors with compliance needs and flexible workforces. We turn every login into an instant security audit, ensuring access is granted only when both the user and their device are proven safe.
