Concentric AI Semantic Intelligence
DSPM and GenAI data security governance that classifies sensitive data and fixes risky access.
Concentric AI Semantic Intelligence Overview
What it does
Concentric AI Semantic Intelligence is a data security governance platform that discovers, classifies, and protects sensitive data across cloud and on-premises repositories. It identifies PII, PHI, PCI, and intellectual property using context-aware AI, then flags oversharing and excessive permissions so security teams can remediate risky access. The platform extends the same controls to generative AI, giving visibility into how tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude handle sensitive data and enforcing that retrieval-based AI only surfaces information each user is authorized to see.
How it works
The platform is delivered as SaaS with no appliances to install. It connects to cloud repositories through APIs and to on-premises stores through a virtual proxy, and its Semantic DLP capability runs as a browser extension to govern data shared with AI applications. Patented context-aware AI categorizes and classifies data without regular expressions or manual patterns, continuously monitors who can access it, and detects anomalous or excessive sharing. Built-in remediation actions label, relocate, archive, delete, mask, or adjust permissions on at-risk data, and classification labels interoperate with tools such as Microsoft Purview.
Credentials and traction
Concentric AI was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in San Jose, California. It raised a $45 million Series B round to expand in the data security posture management market, and was named a Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for DSPM as well as being recognized in the Gartner Market Guide for Data Security Posture Management. In 2025 it acquired Swift Security and Acante to add data loss prevention and generative AI governance to its platform.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesEnforces document-level access at retrieval time so a user receives only context they are authorized to see, filtering before the vector search, after retrieval, or both.
Intercepts prompts and completions to prevent sensitive data (PII, credentials, internal IP), from being transmitted to external LLM services or returned in model responses.
Records prompts, completions, and metadata for all AI interactions with tamper-resistant storage, supporting compliance, forensics, and policy investigation.
Evaluates model outputs against content policy, data classification rules, and format expectations before delivery to end users, blocking responses containing sensitive data or policy violations.
Enforces IAM-style policies on LLM API access, controlling which users and applications can invoke which models and data sources, with audit logging.
Discovers and classifies sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI data, IP) across cloud object storage, relational and NoSQL databases, data lakes, and SaaS platforms using content inspection and ML classification.
Maps effective permissions to sensitive data stores across cloud IAM, database roles, and SaaS permissions, identifies over-privileged access and dormant entitlements.
Assigns risk scores to discovered data based on sensitivity, access exposure, and configuration, then continuously monitors access patterns and policy compliance to surface the highest-risk data stores for action.
Automatically remediates discovered violations, revoking over-permissioned access, moving misplaced data to compliant storage, encrypting unprotected sensitive files.
Connects to cloud object storage, data warehouses, on-premises databases, and SaaS platforms for discovery and classification, with coverage depth varying by product.
Identifies data flowing into large language models and enforces data access governance and entitlement for generative AI use.
Continuously monitors data access patterns and flags anomalous or unauthorized access in real time.
Identifies sensitive data in locations outside authorized data stores, development databases containing production PII, unprotected S3 prefixes, forgotten data lake partitions.
Traces how sensitive data moves between storage locations, services, and users, surfaces unexpected cross-region transfers, shadow copies, and retention policy violations.
Detects how sensitive data moves and transforms through AI pipelines to prevent exposure.
