Concentric AI Launches Private Scan Manager for AWS GovCloud
▼ Summary
– Concentric AI has expanded its Private Scan Manager to support AWS GovCloud (US), allowing government and contractor organizations with sensitive data to deploy its Semantic Intelligence platform within isolated regions.
– This expansion enables entities handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under strict compliance, including those using Microsoft 365 GCC High, to process data on-premises while using Concentric AI’s data security governance.
– AWS GovCloud (US) is a specialized environment meeting elevated federal security requirements, including US citizen personnel controls, isolated US regions, and compliance with standards like FedRAMP, ITAR, and DoD SRG levels.
– The platform uses patented AI to understand data context, accurately identifying sensitive information like PII, intellectual property, and business documents without relying on rigid rules or samples.
– This solution provides end-to-end data security governance, offering discovery, categorization, risk monitoring, and protection for data at rest, in motion, and within GenAI applications, all while keeping data within the customer’s isolated cloud.
Organizations handling sensitive government data now have a powerful new tool to ensure compliance and security. Concentric AI has expanded its platform to support AWS GovCloud (US), allowing agencies and contractors with stringent federal requirements to deploy its AI-driven data security solution within their own isolated cloud environments. This move is particularly significant for entities using Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC) High or managing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), as it enables them to meet rigorous compliance standards without sacrificing advanced security capabilities.
This development builds on the company’s earlier 2025 announcements regarding support for private cloud scanning in Microsoft Azure and AWS. The core benefit is clear: organizations that must process data on-premises for compliance can now fully leverage Concentric AI’s sophisticated governance features. AWS GovCloud (US) itself is designed to exceed standard commercial cloud security, featuring controls like US-citizen-only personnel, sovereign isolated regions, and adherence to key standards including FedRAMP, ITAR, and DoD Impact Levels.
The newly launched Private Scan Manager directly addresses the needs of U.S. government bodies and their partners. It allows them to apply a leading AI security solution to highly regulated data that cannot leave their controlled environments, all while adhering to elevated federal mandates. A company executive emphasized that this ensures data sovereignty, with all information remaining within the customer’s isolated cloud, operated exclusively by U.S. citizens on domestic soil.
Concentric AI’s flagship platform, Semantic Intelligence, functions as a comprehensive, end-to-end system for protecting enterprise data. Its scope is extensive, covering data at rest in various cloud and on-premises systems, data in motion through channels like email and file sharing, and data interacting with modern GenAI applications. The technology’s distinction lies in its approach; rather than depending on predefined rules or samples, it uses patented AI to comprehend the context of both structured and unstructured information.
This deep contextual understanding allows the system to accurately identify not only standard sensitive data like PII, PCI, and PHI, but also more nuanced assets such as intellectual property and critical business documents that other tools might miss. The outcome is more precise data classification and the enforcement of stronger access policies across a customer’s entire security infrastructure. The platform provides category-aware data loss prevention to stop leaks via email and AI applications, coupled with continuous monitoring that automatically addresses risks like excessive permissions, improper data sharing, misclassification, and anomalous user behavior.
The availability of the Private Scan Manager for AWS GovCloud (US) means public sector organizations can now utilize these robust capabilities for discovery, categorization, and remediation to secure their most vital mission-critical assets.
