## What does Sentra do?

Sentra is an AI data readiness and governance platform. It helps enterprises find sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, and AI environments, understand who and what can access it, and keep it governed as it moves.

Sentra analyzes data where it lives. Rather than copying data out to a vendor cloud, it runs analysis inside the customer's own tenant and returns only metadata. That approach holds at scale, with deployments running in the 100 to 400 petabyte range.

The platform covers four areas:

1) Discovery and classification. Sentra finds and classifies sensitive data across cloud storage, databases, and SaaS applications, with a false positive rate under 1%.

2) Access governance. Sentra maps which identities, applications, and AI agents can reach sensitive data, and surfaces excessive or unused access.

3) Data risk. Sentra correlates sensitivity, exposure, and access into ranked risks instead of raw alerts.

4) AI readiness. Sentra identifies which data is safe to use in AI pipelines and agent workflows, and flags sensitive data that has moved into places it should not be.

Sentra ranks #1 on Gartner Peer Insights for DSPM with a 98.5% recommendation rate. A Forrester Total Economic Impact study found a 351% three year ROI, $4.6M in three year benefits, and payback in under six months.

Sentra was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in New York.
