| Sentra is the leader in continuous AI data readiness and governance, helping enterprises ensure their data is secure, governed, and AI-ready at all times. As organizations scale AI adoption, a critical gap emerges: most have invested in AI infrastructure and governance frameworks, but lack continuous visibility into the sensitive data AI canactually reach. Sentra closes that gap. The Sentra platform continuously discovers, classifies, governs, and protects sensitive and proprietary data — and maps who and what can access it, from employees and third parties to AI applications and autonomous agents. With AI-aware data security, automated governance, and intelligent remediation, Sentra helps enterprises reduce risk, enforce policy, and unlock the value of AI without losing control of their data. Sentra operates entirely within the customer's environment. No sensitive data is ever copied out. Trusted by global enterprises including Lyft, Expedia, and SoFi. Recognized by Gartner.
