Data Access Has Evolved.
Monitoring Hasn't. Until Now.

Aurva enables security teams to control data access in the agentic era—observing every query, mapping impact and LLM egress, and enforcing least-privilege with audit-ready evidence.

TRUSTED BY LEADING ENTERPRISES WORLDWIDE

With the rapid growth of AI, knowing which identities, especially non-human ones, are accessing your data and how is more important than ever. Aurva is redefining access monitoring by tying every action to a real identity across agents, humans, and services.

Chris Bream
Former Head of Security Engineering

Aurva gives us real time, identity aware visibility into data access, helping us prevent unauthorized use and privilege escalation while meeting regulatory guidelines. As access becomes more agentic and ephemeral, we rely on Aurva to tie queries to identities and flag anomalies. It is a critical layer in keeping production safe at scale.

Data Is Accessed in Ways You Can't See

AI agents, ephemeral services, and third-party APIs hit sensitive data all day. Legacy tools show where data lives—not who accessed it, what they ran, why it changed, or where results went. Teams end up stitching context after the fact while risk moves in real time.

Act on Risky Access with Evidence.

Across humans, services, and AI agents, every access is tied to real identity, sensitive impact, permission fit, and downstream egress in real time. So that, you can investigate faster and act with confidence.

Every Access Arrives with Context

Build fast with runtime truth. Every access traced; malicious actions caught.

Impact

Behavior

How it deviated: first-seen, off-hours, spikes, excessive data and more.

Least Privilege Fit

Granted vs used privileges, with a safe least-privilege change you can apply now.

Attack Paths, Proof & Fixes— all in one place

Only the critical risks — with fixes, attack paths, and audit-ready evidence & ready-to-run playbooks so risks close fast and don’t come back.

Chosen by teams who need evidence, not guesses

The Aurva team went above and beyond, even integrating with some of our custom environments to deliver the right outcomes. Aurva gave us zero-impact data flow visibility, helped us map our sensitive data end-to-end, and reduced overexposure risks. Thus, working as a true partner to our security and engineering teams

Siddharth Gupta

Senior Architect, Meesho

As one of the only cloud-native banks, Aurva was the only DAM tool that gave us real-time, granular visibility into database access — critical for meeting banking Infosec norms.

Sovon Lal Mukherjee

CISO, Slice Bank

We started with Aurva for egress monitoring, but their results and commitment made it an easy decision to expand to DSPM, Data Flow, and DAM. They’ve become a critical part of our data security stack

Ashwath Kumar

Head of Security, Razorpay

Chris Bream

Former Head of Security Engineering, Meta

We connected Aurva directly into our SIEM, and it’s helped us surface issues and database accesses we would have otherwise missed — especially during developer-driven database migrations or schema changes. Rather than reacting after something goes wrong, we now have proactive visibility and control.

Sandeep Srinivasan

CISO, Fampay

We deployed Aurva and within an hour got to know the different regions where we are sending data. Context Enrichment of Egress Monitoring also helps in understanding whether these third parties take any sensitive data or transactional data. I realised the power of the tool when I literally saw 2 day efforts being reduced to minutes

Tushar Anand

Lead Security Engineer, Jupiter

Aurva provides deep visibility into egress traffic, database activity, and the classification of sensitive data across Razorpay’s infrastructure. It strengthened our security posture while ensuring compliance requirements were met. Aurva’s simple deployment, scalability, and reliability - seamlessly matching Razorpay’s high-traffic demands.

Mani

Lead Security Engineer, Razorpay

Aurva Platform helps us monitor our cloud traffic and identify any malicious activity. Fills a void in our security stack, helps us monitor traffic continuously from a security point of view and identify any malicious traffic. We are able to monitor traffic from VMs, Kubernetes clusters seamlessly.

Suresh Khema

Head of Platform Engineering & Infrastructure, Apna

I want my security engineering team to focus on key business metrics enabling secure development of these applications. We chose Aurva because we saw an opportunity to comply with Regulatory Compliances and Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023
