Run Aurva India: find the personal data you hold, watch how it moves, and catch the access that should not happen.
How a Bengaluru fintech stopped guessing where customer data lived, mapped it with Aurva in days, and found a copy of it sitting in an analytics warehouse nobody had on the list. Story below.
Aurva Data Security Posture Management at a glance
Why Aurva anchors most Indian data security posture management estates.
- OEM
- Aurva, a data-security company with its engineering team in Bengaluru and a US office in Sunnyvale, California. Its platform is listed on G2 and Gartner Peer Insights under data security.
- What it does
- Discovers sensitive and personal data across cloud, SaaS and on-prem using eBPF telemetry, classifies it with AI, maps how that data moves between services, and flags risky access or egress as it happens.
- Product lines
- Aurva DSPM for discovery and classification, Database Activity Monitoring for query-level watching, Data Flow Monitoring for data in motion, AccessIQ for identity-to-data access, and Secure Egress to catch data leaving where it should not.
- Where your data sits
- Aurva reads activity from sensors inside your own environment, so the sensitive data itself can stay in your cloud accounts and inside India for DPDP reasons. Sirius Star sets the deployment up that way by default.
- Where it fits in India
- Fintechs, SaaS firms, healthtech, BFSI and any business that has become a data fiduciary under the DPDP Act and needs to know exactly where personal data lives before an audit.
- Licensing
- Subscription, quote-based, scaled by the data sources and environments you connect. Most buyers connect more than they need to start, so a scoping pass is where the saving sits.
- Support
- Licensing, deployment, classification tuning and a quarterly managed retainer run through Sirius Star, coordinated from Vashi, Navi Mumbai.

- Spot the copy that ended up in a warehouse or a SaaS tool
- See which third party a data path quietly feeds
- Turn a guess about data flow into a picture you can show
Aurva | AccessIQ and Secure Egress
Identity-to-data access and egress control, so access maps to people and risky exits get caught.

Aurva Data Security Posture Management vs BigID, Cyera, Varonis
All four are honest choices. Most Indian buyers land on the first option for service depth and ecosystem fit.
| Brand | Where it wins | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Aurva | Built in Bengaluru, billed in INR, with eBPF discovery that maps real data flow and an India deployment that keeps sensitive data in your own accounts. | Indian fintechs, SaaS and BFSI that want local engineering, India data residency and a DPDP inventory built fast. |
| BigID | A broad data-governance and privacy suite with deep cataloguing and a large feature set, priced at enterprise level. | Large global enterprises with a governance team and budget to run a wide platform. |
| Cyera | Agentless cloud DSPM with strong classification, focused on public-cloud estates. | Cloud-native teams whose data sits mostly in AWS, Azure or GCP. |
| Varonis | Mature on data access governance, strongest around file shares and Microsoft 365. | Teams whose first pain is unstructured files and folder permissions. |

Aurva Data Security Posture Management India FAQ
Common questions about this brand for Indian buyers. Hover any underlined term for a plain-English definition.
What is Aurva?
Aurva is a data security platform that discovers sensitive and personal data wherever it lives, from cloud to SaaS to on-prem estates, classifies it with AI, maps how it flows between services, and flags risky access or egress as it happens. It uses eBPF telemetry to watch real data activity from inside the operating system, which is how it finds data that rule-based scanners miss. The engineering team is in Bengaluru, with a US office in Sunnyvale.
Is Aurva available in India?
Yes. Aurva is an Indian-origin company with its engineering in Bengaluru, so the roadmap and support sit close to Indian buyers. Sirius Star handles licensing, deployment, classification tuning and a quarterly managed retainer, coordinated from Vashi, Navi Mumbai, with a free data-source review before any quote.
Aurva vs BigID or Cyera, which do we need?
All three discover and classify sensitive data. BigID is a broad governance suite for large global enterprises, and Cyera is agentless cloud DSPM for public-cloud estates. Aurva uses eBPF to map real data flow and access, is built and billed in India, and keeps sensitive data inside your own accounts. If your driver is a fast DPDP inventory, India data residency and local engineering, Aurva is usually the shorter path.
Does Aurva help with the DPDP Act?
It does. The DPDP Act 2023 expects a data fiduciary to know what personal data it holds and where, and Aurva builds exactly that inventory by discovering and classifying personal data across your estate and mapping how it moves. It can be deployed so the sensitive data stays inside India. Under the Act a data fiduciary faces a penalty of up to 250 crore rupees for a single breach, and not knowing where data lives is a common root cause, so the inventory Aurva produces matters at audit time.
What does Aurva cost in India in 2026?
Indicative*: Aurva is licensed by subscription, scaled by the data sources and environments you connect, and a mid-size deployment usually runs from a few lakh rupees into the tens of lakhs a year depending on scope and the managed retainer. Most of the saving comes from scoping the right sources rather than connecting everything, so a review usually pays for itself.
