Today, data is scattered across dozens of systems – the cloud, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, databases, and file servers. Most organizations don’t know exactly where their sensitive information is stored, who has access to it, or whether someone is currently leaking it outside the organization. Varonis Systems (Nasdaq: VRNS) has been solving this exact problem for over two decades. It is a global leader in data security and the creator of one of the highest-rated Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platforms – twice awarded the Customers’ Choice title in the Gartner® Peer Insights ranking. Thousands of organizations around the world trust Varonis to protect their most valuable asset: their data.
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) – Complete visibility and control over data
Data Security Posture Management is a rapidly evolving approach to security that addresses the fundamental question: Where is our sensitive data, and who has access to it? The Varonis DSPM platform continuously and automatically detects, classifies, monitors, and protects data – whether it’s stored in Microsoft 365, Azure, Salesforce, Snowflake, AWS, or on-premises. It’s one of the few solutions that offers advanced automated risk remediation – with minimal administrator involvement.
Data classification and exploration – knowing what you have
A comprehensive data inventory is the foundation of effective protection. Varonis offers advanced mechanisms for automatically discovering and classifying sensitive information – from personal data (GDPR, CCPA) to financial data and trade secrets. The platform features a library of hundreds of pre-built, configurable classification rules, and through integration with Microsoft Purview, it enables the consistent application of labels and enforcement of DLP policies across the entire environment. Organizations gain a precise understanding of what data they possess, where it is located, and how it is secured.
Data Access Intelligence – Access Control
One of the biggest challenges facing modern IT departments is over-privileging – employees and applications have access to far more resources than they actually need. Varonis provides a detailed permissions map that takes into account all factors affecting data access: group memberships, roles in SaaS applications, and both inherited and direct permissions. The platform shows in real time who has access to sensitive data, and built-in automatic remediation mechanisms allow for the immediate restriction of excessive permissions and the removal of inactive accounts – without creating additional tasks for administrators.
Data Detection and Response (DDR) – real-time threat detection
Varonis goes a step further than traditional data security management tools. The Data Detection and Response (DDR – a term used by Varonis) module monitors user and application activity, building a baseline behavior profile for every entity in the organization. Any deviation from the norm – unexpected access to a large number of files, data exfiltration, suspicious activity on a privileged account – is immediately detected and reported. The platform maintains a searchable, detailed audit trail of all data operations, which significantly accelerates post-breach analysis and compliance with regulatory requirements.
AI Security – Data Protection in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
The rapid rise in popularity of AI tools such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT, and GitHub Copilot introduces a new category of risk: AI models may gain access to sensitive data that users should never be able to view. Varonis has implemented and is expanding support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling organizations to securely deploy AI agents while maintaining full control over what data they can access. Integration with Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Sentinel allows security teams to manage AI risk within a single, unified ecosystem.
Regulatory Compliance – GDPR, NIS2, and More
Compliance management is one of the key challenges for organizations operating in Poland and the European Union. Varonis supports compliance with NIS2 requirements in the area of data security. The platform provides ready-made reports, policies, and audit mechanisms that enable organizations to quickly demonstrate compliance with regulatory authorities. Thanks to automatic data classification and precise access control, organizations can effectively meet requirements such as the right to be forgotten and data processing restrictions.
Flexible deployment – SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid
Varonis offers flexible deployment models tailored to the needs of every organization. The cloud-based SaaS platform, hosted and managed by Varonis, simplifies data security management for both cloud and on-premises environments – with minimal administrative overhead. For organizations that prefer full control over their infrastructure, on-premises or private cloud (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud) deployment options are available. The platform integrates natively with Microsoft, AWS, and other leading cloud service providers’ ecosystems.
