Executive Summary

Portal26 sells enterprises a platform to discover, govern, and secure how staff use generative AI, from finding unsanctioned tools to tracking agents and enforcing policy. It is the rebrand of Titaniam, a data-security startup founded in 2019 by former Symantec executive Arti Raman, still markets its search-security line, and has raised $15 million, including a $9 million round in November 2025 led by Shasta Ventures. Portal26 advertises big adoption and return-on-investment figures, but Boomi is its clearest named testimonial, worded as relying on platforms like Portal26, and those numbers are its own. For a vendor selling proof of enterprise AI value, that thin named proof is the gap a buyer would probe. Its free Claude tier reads as an acquisition lever aimed at surging Claude adoption.
