Jscrambler Secures $5.2M Investment from Iberis Capital to Strengthen its Position as a Leader in Client-Side Protection

PORTO, Portugal

Jscrambler, a pioneer in client-side protection, today announced the completion of a $5.2M investment round subscribed to exclusively by Iberis Capital. This latest investment builds upon a previous $15 million Series A funding round led by Ace Capital Partners with participation from Sonae IM and Portugal Ventures, which also led the company’s initial Seed round.

Despite the continued growth in client-side threats, many businesses continue to lack the tools needed to keep user data safe. According to the 2024 Jscrambler report, only 36% of respondents' companies have policies and tools to prevent data skimming. Now, with this latest investment, Jscrambler will further accelerate its efforts to help companies securely and cost-effectively achieve PCI DSS v4 compliance ahead of the  March 31, 2025 deadline. PCI DSS v4 requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 are designed to prevent digital skimming attacks on websites that capture payment card data. In addition to PCI compliance, this round of funding will also support Jscrambler’s commitment to ongoing research and solution innovation.

“Merchants accepting payments face escalating threats like digital skimming, yet many lack the client-side protection tools that are vital to securing customer cardholder data,” said Rui Ribeiro, CEO and co-founder of Jscrambler. “With the PCI compliance deadline rapidly approaching, the urgency for effective client-side protection solutions has never been greater. This funding round from Iberis Capital will enable us to address this immediate pressing need while accelerating our investments in innovation and research to ensure our clients are always prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.”

João Henriques, Partner at Iberis Capital, stated: “Jscrambler delivers a world-leading technological solution that empowers businesses to protect their websites, meeting the increasing demand for robust digital security. Supported by a leadership team with extensive industry knowledge, Jscrambler is uniquely positioned to lead in client-side security.
