Symmetry Systems named 2026 SC Award Winner for Best Data Security Solution
Symmetry Systems – The Data+AI Security Company
Secure Data. Control Agents.
Unleash AI.
What Organizations are achieving with Symmetry
Real practitioners. Real environments. No logos required.
See what your data and security teams are missing
The Problem
AI agents authenticate via shared service accounts your IAM treats as trusted infrastructure — no session, no MFA, no individual identity to inspect.
The Symmetry Solution
Continuously discover and classify sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises. Know your posture in real time — not at the next audit.
The Symmetry Solutions
Security Without Limits
We go where your data lives.
Most security tools ask you to send your data to them. Symmetry works the other way around — we deploy inside your environment so sensitive data never crosses a boundary it shouldn’t.
Why Symmetry
Four things only Symmetry does
These aren’t features. They’re architectural decisions that took years to build — and that competitors haven’t caught up to.
The only DSPM with a unified Identity × Data graph
Every other DSPM shows you data risk in isolation. Symmetry fuses your data estate with your full identity graph — humans, service accounts, AI agents, third-party vendors — so you see not just what’s exposed, but exactly who can reach it and what they’d do with it.
Native AI agent visibility — not retrofitted
Other vendors bolt AI detection onto a platform built for human access patterns. Symmetry’s data model was designed from day one to treat AI agents as first-class principals — with their own identity, access graph, scope policies, and audit trail.
Control and Custody of your Data at all times
Every other DSPM requires metadata to leave your environment. Symmetry can run fully isolated — no external network dependency, ever. This unlocks defence, federal, and healthcare environments that no other DSPM can serve.
Remediation built in — not a separate product
Most DSPM platforms stop at findings. Symmetry closes the loop: DataEnforce automatically remediates misconfigurations, revokes excess permissions, and enforces policy — without requiring a separate DLP or PAM tool.

Ready to see How Symmetry is different?
Symmetry gave us the peace of mind that if something happened and a vulnerability was discovered or a user was compromised, we’d be alerted and able to confirm whether anything happened to the data, and trace it back to where it originated. - CISO from $25M+ SaaS Software company
What sets DataGuard apart? Telling me about a problem is 1x value, but showing me the problem and then actually fixing it, that is 10x value, and that’s what DataGuard provides. The value we get out of it is much higher than what we spend on it. - CISO from $20M+ Software company
We found DataGuard a highly effective tool to collaborate with our DevOps team, and are placing data firewall policies into code that enable stronger data security and help with achievement of our compliance audits. - CISO from $50M+ Genomics bioteach company
The flexibility of both on-premise and cloud configurations gives us confidence that DataGuard can support our current and future application architectures. - CISO from $35M+ IT Services company
