Core Pillars

Data Discovery & Classification

Automatically scan databases, S3 buckets, and NoSQL stores. Classify PII, PHI, PCI, Aadhaar, and 30+ sensitive data types.

Database Activity Monitoring

Capture every query in real time. Detect mass exports, after-hours access, suspicious SQL patterns, and AI agent behaviour.

Policy Engine

Build rules for data at rest, internal access, and external egress. Route alerts to Slack, Jira, Coralogix, or email.

Risk Management

Prioritise findings by risk score. Raise tickets, suppress false positives, and track resolution over time.

Compliance Mapping

Map your data estate to SEBI, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST, CIS, and ISO controls. Generate auditor evidence on demand.

Egress & Shadow AI Detection

Monitor data leaving your environment to third-party domains, SaaS platforms, and unapproved LLMs.

Who uses Aurva?

Aurva is purpose-built for BFSI, fintech, and compliance-driven enterprises — organisations that handle large volumes of sensitive customer and financial data and must demonstrate compliance with regulations like PCI-DSS, SEBI, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001.

Typical users include:

  • Security engineers building and enforcing data access policies
  • Compliance officers mapping controls and generating audit evidence
  • Platform / DevOps teams deploying and managing Aurva infrastructure
  • Analysts on-call triaging risk alerts and investigating access anomalies

High-level architecture

Aurva deploys a lightweight Aurva Data Plane (Data Plane) into your cloud environment (EKS or EC2). The agent collects metadata and activity logs from your data sources without storing your data. The Aurva control plane processes findings, runs classification, evaluates policies, and surfaces results in the dashboard.
