Concentric AI

What Concentric AI does

Concentric AI provides an AI and data security governance platform that helps businesses protect sensitive data, reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and enable safe AI adoption. The platform answers fundamental questions about sensitive data, its sharing with AI, and the effectiveness of controls. It offers an end-to-end solution to secure data at rest, in motion, and across GenAI applications. Concentric AI's solutions are designed to discover, understand, and protect sensitive information across cloud and on-prem environments, delivering precise visibility, automated protection, and safe AI adoption.

Products

• Semantic Intelligence™A patented, context-aware AI platform that automatically discovers, categorizes, and classifies data across environments. It continuously monitors data risk with autonomous remediation, maintains visibility into Microsoft Copilot permissions and usage, and tracks data lineage across its lifecycle. It also helps align with standard and custom regulatory frameworks. Semantic Intelligence is 100% SaaS-based and connects to cloud and on-prem repositories via API or virtual proxy. It scans structured and unstructured data in its entirety without agents or regular expressions.
• Semantic DLPA data loss prevention solution that provides visibility and control to keep confidential data out of AI tools. It uncovers shadow AI, identifies risky users and applications, prevents sensitive data from being shared with AI tools, and tracks prompts, responses, and policy violations. It is installed as a browser extension and works across any website or browser-based application, allowing for alerts, warnings, or blocking of sensitive data in motion, and masking sensitive content in public GenAI prompts and responses.

AI approach

Concentric AI utilizes patented, context-aware AI called Semantic Intelligence™ to discover, categorize, classify, monitor, and protect sensitive data across various environments. It does not rely on traditional rules, regular expressions, or pattern matching, but instead understands the context of data to provide accurate identification and remediation. The AI is also used in Semantic DLP to secure AI applications by identifying shadow AI, preventing sensitive data sharing, and tracking prompts and policy violations. The company emphasizes responsible product development, ensuring their technologies are explainable, safe, and resilient by design.
