Symmetry Systems offers a platform that maps an organization’s data across cloud stores, shows who has access, and surfaces misconfigurations and risky data flows. The product lets customers adjust account access on individual data objects and monitor future accesses while running in the customer’s cloud using a ‘‘software-as-a-service, but in customer’s cloud’’ deployment model. The company is developing an AI/large-language-model interface to let customers ask plain-English questions about data risk and mitigation steps. Symmetry says it is building a federal sales program but declined to disclose revenue or customer names. The startup employs around 40 people and expects to grow to 50–55 by year-end. Its most recent financing brought total capital raised to $36 million. Symmetry Systems delivers Data Store and Object Security (DSOS) via its DataGuard product, which the company says maintains authority over data when credentials are exploited, malicious applications act, or security tools generate false positives. Led by CEO Mohit Tiwari, the platform provides full visibility and unified access control over data assets regardless of where or how they are stored. The company originated from the Spark Lab at UT Austin and is based in San Francisco, CA. Symmetry Systems recently raised $15m in a Series A and plans to use the funds to drive rapid growth in revenue, customers, and employees. The company is also participating in Accenture Ventures’ Project Spotlight, an engagement program connecting emerging software startups with the Global 2000. Symmetry Systems offers DataGuard, a DSOS platform that provides unified visibility into data objects across all data stores and answers data security and compliance questions that traditional tools cannot. The system learns how data is used, accessed, and managed by an organization or a partner to deliver actionable visibility, least-privilege policies, and guided response. The company emerged from stealth and was born within the Spark Lab at UT Austin. It is led by CEO and co-founder Mohit Tiwari and is based in San Francisco, CA. Symmetry has active pilot deployments in healthcare, fintech, manufacturing and technology organizations. The company raised a $3M seed round to support product development and customer support tied to those pilots.
