AI-Powered Context-Aware Data Security Posture Management
Enterprise organizations face an impossible challenge: maintaining comprehensive data security and regulatory compliance across sprawling hybrid cloud environments with sensitive data scattered across 50+ systems. Manual compliance reporting takes weeks, over-privileged access creates vulnerabilities, and organizations lack real-time visibility into their data security posture.
Sylox developed IRIS—our proprietary AI-powered Context-Aware Data Security Posture Management platform that automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data, enforces context-aware policies, detects threats in real-time, and automates compliance reporting across multiple regulatory frameworks. The result: 100% data visibility, zero security breaches, 94% reduction in security incidents, and $320K annual compliance savings.
Modern enterprises operate in environments of staggering complexity: on-premises systems, multi-cloud infrastructure, SaaS applications, databases, file shares, collaboration tools, and more. Sensitive data (PII, PHI, financial records, intellectual property) is scattered across this landscape, often without visibility or control. Regulatory requirements (DPDP, GDPR, HIPAA, PII, SOC 2) demand comprehensive data governance, yet manual processes cannot keep pace with the scale and dynamism of modern environments.
Business Problem
Specific Pain Points
● Sensitive data scattered across 50+ enterprise systems without centralized visibility
● No unified view of where sensitive data resides or who has access
● Shadow IT and unauthorized data stores creating unknown security risks
● Cloud migration creating new data locations faster than security can track
● Multiple regulatory frameworks (DPDP, GDPR, HIPAA, PII, SOC 2) with overlapping requirements
● Manual compliance reporting taking weeks to compile audit documentation
● Continuous compliance monitoring impossible with manual processes
● Significant fines and penalties for non-compliance
● Over-privileged access creating unnecessary security exposure
● Complex role-based and attribute-based access control (RBAC/ABAC) difficult to implement consistently
● No systematic way to enforce least-privilege access principles
● Access reviews and recertification consuming significant security team time
● Lack of real-time threat detection across all data repositories
● Reactive security posture responding to incidents after they occur
● No behavioral analytics to detect anomalous data access patterns
● Alert fatigue from high volumes of false positives
Security breaches carry massive financial (average $4.45M per breach), reputational, and regulatory costs. Organizations were spending $500K+ annually on manual compliance processes, yet still facing audit findings and regulatory exposure. Security teams were overwhelmed with manual tasks, unable to focus on strategic threat prevention.
Business Impact
Our Solution: IRIS - The Intelligent Security Guardian
