DoControl and Sentra Unite to Automate SaaS Data Security Actions

NEW YORK, NY – December 18, 2025 – In a move that addresses a persistent challenge in corporate cybersecurity, SaaS Data Security leader DoControl and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform Sentra today announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration is designed to bridge the critical gap between identifying sensitive data and enforcing security policies to protect it, promising to turn data classification insights into automated, real-time actions.

For years, security teams have invested heavily in tools that discover and classify vast amounts of data across their digital estates. They can identify what is sensitive, where it resides, and who has access. Yet, a crucial disconnect has remained: the inability to easily and automatically act on those insights. This partnership aims to finally connect the dots, creating an end-to-end data protection workflow from visibility to remediation.

Closing the Insight-to-Action Gap

The core problem this alliance tackles is the operational bottleneck between data intelligence and data control. Organizations often find themselves in a state of “analysis paralysis,” armed with detailed reports about data risks but lacking the scalable mechanisms to enforce policies across the sprawling ecosystem of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. Manual intervention is slow, prone to human error, and simply cannot keep pace with the speed of modern business.

By integrating Sentra’s context-rich data classification with DoControl’s policy automation engine, the partnership provides a direct and immediate solution. The workflow is elegantly straightforward: Sentra’s platform first scans and identifies sensitive data within an organization's cloud and SaaS environments, applying precise classification labels based on content and context. DoControl then ingests these labels, using them as triggers for automated security policies.

For example, if Sentra identifies and labels a file stored in Google Drive as 'confidential,' that information is passed to DoControl. If an employee then attempts to share that file with an external, unauthorized party, DoControl’s policy engine can instantly intervene. Based on pre-configured rules, it might automatically revoke the public sharing link, initiate an approval workflow with the employee’s manager, or simply log the event and alert the security team—all without manual intervention.

"Accurate, granular classification is the foundation to facilitate automated remediations," said David Stuart, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Sentra. "Organizations require this to scale and innovate while protecting critical information."

A Synergy of Specialized Strengths

This partnership represents a powerful combination of two best-in-class technologies. Sentra has earned a reputation for its highly accurate and intelligent DSPM capabilities. Leveraging AI and proprietary Large Language Models, its agentless platform can discover and classify both structured and unstructured data with a claimed precision of over 95%. This goes beyond simple pattern matching for credit card numbers, extending to complex intellectual property and unique customer records across cloud infrastructure, databases, and SaaS applications.

This high-fidelity classification is critical, as the effectiveness of any automated system depends on the quality of its input. With low false positives, Sentra provides the trustworthy intelligence needed to confidently trigger security actions without disrupting legitimate business activities. It provides the “what” and “where” of data security.

DoControl, in turn, provides the “how.” As a leader in SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM), its platform specializes in enforcing granular access controls, remediating misconfigurations, and preventing data loss within the SaaS applications where employees work every day, such as Slack, Microsoft SharePoint, Salesforce, and Box. Its strength lies in its ability to translate security intent into automated workflows that govern data, identities, and connected third-party apps.

By consuming Sentra's labels, DoControl's engine gains the crucial context of data sensitivity, allowing it to apply more intelligent and dynamic controls. This synergy transforms data classification from a passive reporting exercise into an active, foundational component of an organization's security program.

Responding to a Market Shift Toward Consolidation

The DoControl-Sentra alliance is also a significant indicator of a broader industry trend: the move away from fragmented, single-point security solutions toward integrated platforms. CISOs and security leaders have grown weary of managing dozens of disparate tools, which creates operational complexity, security gaps, and an overwhelming amount of uncoordinated alerts. The demand is growing for consolidated solutions that offer a unified view of risk and a streamlined path to remediation.

This partnership exemplifies the “platformization” of cybersecurity, where specialized tools integrate deeply to deliver a more holistic outcome than either could achieve alone. It combines the deep data intelligence of a leading DSPM with the robust enforcement capabilities of a top-tier SSPM, effectively creating a more comprehensive data security fabric for the modern enterprise. This approach helps reduce tool sprawl and allows security teams to operate more efficiently, focusing their attention on strategic risk management rather than manually connecting data points between different consoles.

Enabling Security at the Speed of Business

Ultimately, the partnership’s most compelling value proposition lies in its ability to enhance security without hindering business velocity. In the past, stringent security controls were often seen as a barrier to productivity, forcing employees to navigate cumbersome approval processes for routine tasks. Automation flips that paradigm.

By automating the enforcement of data handling policies based on reliable classification, security becomes an invisible, seamless part of the workflow. Employees can continue to collaborate and innovate, while the system works in the background to ensure sensitive data is not inadvertently exposed. This directly addresses the dual mandate of today’s security leaders: to protect the organization’s most valuable assets while enabling the business to move fast and compete effectively.

"Data security isn't a point solution—it's an ongoing program," stated Omri Weinberg, Co-Founder and CEO of DoControl. "Through our partnership with Sentra, we're enabling customers to enforce real-time, automated controls driven by precise data sensitivity. This empowers security teams to reduce risk without slowing the business."

The joint solution from Sentra and DoControl, which is available starting today, delivers on the long-held promise of actionable data security, providing organizations with a scalable way to protect their critical information from discovery all the way through to automated remediation.
