Industry’s First SaaS-Based Data Security and Governance Platform

By Selva Neethiraj, VP of Engineering

We are excited to announce that PrivaceraCloud, the industry’s first software-as-a-service (SaaS) governance solution is now generally available. PrivaceraCloud is a lighthouse release for Privacera as it sets the strategic direction of the company. CEO and Co-Founder Balaji Ganesan talks about how PrivaceraCloud is more than just a product release and represents the future of the company in a blog post today.

PrivaceraCloud is a fully managed service that provides data governance capabilities across cloud services through a single unified interface. PrivaceraCloud enables organizations to:

• Centrally define and manage fine-grained access control policies across multiple cloud services
• Provide alerts and visibility into information required for data audits
• Produce rich out-of-box and customizable reports and dashboards for compliance, audit, and governance purposes

PrivaceraCloud runs distributed policy enforcement points within Databricks or AWS cloud environments. Data access policies created and managed in the PrivaceraCloud portal are enforced and synchronized through these policy enforcement points. Enforcement points also log all audit information back to a secure central audit service in PrivaceraCloud.

PrivaceraCloud provides access controls to secure data in the following cloud-native services and data warehouses:

PrivaceraCloud, however, can be deployed in mere seconds.

Security measures we have taken to protect data in PrivaceraCloud include:
