Data Security Posture Management, Early Access
Today's data sprawls across the cloud, on-prem, and endpoints. Data lives everywhere, but the biggest challenge isn't just knowing where data resides across the organization. Security teams must understand what the data represents, identify what’s at risk, and protect it in real time.
Announcing Cyberhaven DSPM, Early Access
Today, we’re excited to introduce Cyberhaven’s Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) Early Access, our next step in redefining how organizations discover, understand, and secure their data.
Why Traditional DSPM Falls Short
Existing DSPMs helped security teams inventory sensitive data across cloud repositories, but they stop short of delivering meaningful protection. They identify what data organizations have and where it resides, but not who owns it, where it came from, or how it’s being used.
As data moves through modern organizations, copied between applications, repos, and endpoints, summarized into AI tools, and shared externally, those systems lose visibility and therefore their ability to protect data.
The Cyberhaven Difference: Visibility, Context, and Action in One Platform
Cyberhaven reimagines data security posture management from the ground up. Our DSPM solution maps sensitive data across the cloud, on-prem, and endpoints, understands where it came from and who uses it, and natively integrates with our leading DLP solution to actively protect data.
The DSPM landing page displays how many datastores were scanned, the types of sensitive data found, and the number of data risk issues identified.

Unified Visibility Across the Entire Data Ecosystem
Built on the same architecture that powers our DLP, it connects the dots between data, user intent, and identity, giving teams a dynamic view of data risks across their ecosystem.
In the Explorer view, security teams can visualize relationships among data objects, locations, and access levels. Security teams can trace where source code originates and determine whether trusted internal teams or external partners have access. This eliminates blind spots and uncertainty.

Context That Tells Reveals Real Risk
Visibility alone isn’t enough. Cyberhaven enriches every data object with deep contextual attributes that reveal why it’s risky:
- Provenance: Is this corporate IP, personal files, or public data?
- Location: Is it in Google Drive or an S3 Bucket? Is it in an approved repository or an unmanaged device?
- Access: Can only internal teams see it, or is it exposed to external collaborators?
Data visibility is enriched using these attributes. This context gives security teams precision in understanding data and forms the foundation for meaningful policy creation.
Connecting Classification to Action
Most DSPM tools stop at "here's a problem." Cyberhaven goes straight to "here's what we're doing about it.”
When critical data is exposed, the system doesn’t just generate an alert. It empowers security teams to act immediately. They can block the risky download or educate the user in real time, using the same policy framework that governs Cyberhaven’s DLP.
And because Cyberhaven’s Data-at-Rest (DAR) Scanning provides visibility of data across the hundreds and thousands of devices used by employees, the solution identifies sensitive data stored locally before it moves, enabling instant enforcement without adding latency to the end-user.
Microsoft Purview Integration: Labels Wherever Data Goes
To protect data wherever it lives and goes, we also believe in helping customers get the most out of their current investments in data classification. With the announcement of our DSPM Early Access program, we’re also excited to announce major improvements to our integration with Microsoft Purview.
Many security teams have spent years building sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview. Then, when that data leaves Microsoft, those labels disappear.
Cyberhaven's Purview Integration solves this. Our integration automatically ingests Microsoft sensitivity labels and extends them beyond the Microsoft ecosystem, across systems where data resides. Those labels become part of data lineage, tracking where sensitive data moved, who accessed it, and how it was shared.
With this integration, what’s defined in Purview now reflects how data truly moves and behaves across the organization. Microsoft labels remain consistent wherever data travels, giving security teams a unified, real-time view of data classification across the entire ecosystem.
The Next Evolution of DSPM
Cyberhaven’s DSPM bridges the gap that has existed since the category was popularized: the gap between knowing and doing. While traditional DSPMs stop at dashboards, Cyberhaven delivers decisions.
Specifically, Cyberhaven’s DSPM:
- Provides a single source of truth for data across diverse data repositories: cloud, on-prem and endpoint
- Delivers context-driven understanding that reveals actual data risk
- Enables continuous assessment powered by AI that analyzes data at a deeper level
Join the Early Access Program
The DSPM Early Access program invites forward-thinking security teams to help define the next generation of data security.
Select organizations will:
- Gain visibility into multi-environment data risks before they become incidents
- Apply context-aware protection across endpoint, cloud, and on-prem
- Influence the product roadmap with real-world feedback
Cyberhaven is reinventing DSPM, designed not just to see data, but to secure it.
