Cyberhaven AI & Data Security Platform
DSPM, DLP, and insider risk using data lineage across endpoints, cloud, SaaS, and AI.
Cyberhaven AI & Data Security Platform Overview
What it does
The Cyberhaven AI & Data Security Platform is a unified data protection system that combines Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Insider Risk Management (IRM), and AI security in a single product. Its distinguishing mechanism is data lineage: rather than relying on content inspection alone, the platform records every event for each piece of data, tracing its origin and every copy, edit, transformation, and transfer to classify and protect it wherever it moves.
How it works
Visibility comes from three deployment modes that operate together: cloud API connectors for sanctioned SaaS such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, a lightweight endpoint agent for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and a browser extension for web applications. The platform extracts text and runs optical character recognition (OCR) on images, then layers data lineage context over content identifiers for PII, PCI, and PHI. Linea AI, built on proprietary Large Lineage Models (LLiM), detects risky activity and launches investigations that reconstruct screen activity and data history into incident reports.
Credentials and traction
The platform is SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO 27017, ISO 27701, and PCI DSS v4.0.1 certified, with documentation available through a Trust Center. Cyberhaven was named a Gartner Cool Vendor in Data Security in 2023 and received a Black Unicorn Award in 2024, and it ranked on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 in 2025. Named customers include Motorola, Cooley, Navan, Iron Mountain, Plaid, and Jamf, and the platform serves enterprise security teams governing sensitive data and AI usage.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesApplies sensitivity labels to data automatically based on content analysis and context without requiring users to manually classify documents before policy enforcement.
Discovers and enforces data policies for content stored in or transiting through cloud applications and storage, extending DLP coverage to SaaS environments without endpoint agents.
Monitors and enforces data movement policies on endpoints, blocking or logging USB transfers, clipboard operations, print jobs, and screen captures of content matching classification policies.
Detects and controls sensitive data entered into generative AI tools, applying block, redact, or warn actions before data leaves the organization.
Extracts text from images, scanned PDFs, and screenshots to classify and detect sensitive data that would bypass text-pattern matching.
Correlates DLP policy violations with user behavioral context, distinguishing routine data movement from anomalous exfiltration patterns associated with insider threat or account compromise.
Provides an automated incident response workflow for data loss events.
Traces how sensitive data moves between storage locations, services, and users, surfaces unexpected cross-region transfers, shadow copies, and retention policy violations.
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.
Connects to cloud object storage, data warehouses, on-premises databases, and SaaS platforms for discovery and classification, with coverage depth varying by product.
Identifies sensitive data in locations outside authorized data stores, development databases containing production PII, unprotected S3 prefixes, forgotten data lake partitions.
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.
Maps effective permissions to sensitive data stores across cloud IAM, database roles, and SaaS permissions, identifies over-privileged access and dormant entitlements.
