Cavelo is a data discovery and classification platform with strong endpoint and cloud visibility. Cyflow is a workspace data security platform that combines data discovery, SSPM, AI readiness, DLP, and M365 baselines — with autonomous AI agents that not only surface exposure, but fix it.
Bottom line
Grouped by job-to-be-done. Notes show the nuance behind each row. Numbers in brackets link to the cited source.
| Capability | Cyflow | Cavelo | Notes / ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Workspace data security | |||
| Sensitive data discovery[1],[2] | AI auto-classification across files, drives, mailboxes, and shares | Sensitive data discovery and classification across endpoints, cloud, and SaaS | Both discover sensitive data. The difference is what happens next. |
| Autonomous remediation[1],[2] | AI agents detect and fix exposure 24/7 — oversharing, anyone-links, risky access | Risk visibility and prioritization; remediation is manual or workflow-driven | Cavelo surfaces what's exposed; Cyflow also fixes it without a human in the loop. |
| Oversharing & 'anyone' link cleanup | Prioritized remediation queue with one-click bulk actions | Surfaces exposure as risk findings; cleanup requires manual action | Different operating model: Cyflow drives outcomes; Cavelo informs decisions. |
| External user / file access cleanup | Per-tenant inventory plus automated revocation workflows | External access reporting, no automated revocation | Cavelo identifies what to fix; engineers and admins still do the work. |
| Platform scope | |||
| DLP[1] | Built-in DLP with autonomous remediation across M365 + Google Workspace | Data discovery and classification; DLP enforcement via integrations | Cavelo focuses on knowing data; Cyflow also acts on it. |
| SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) | OAuth-connected SaaS inventory, app risk scoring, configuration posture | Limited SSPM scope; primary focus is data discovery and classification | SSPM and data security in one console eliminates a category. |
| M365 baselines & drift management | 7 workload agents, 51 CIS-mapped policies — Identity, PIM, Apps, Email, Endpoint, Teams, SPO | Not the primary focus | Cyflow includes baselines/drift natively; Cavelo customers add a separate tool. |
| AI readiness (Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT)[3] | Pre-rollout assessment of what each AI assistant can access per user | AI exposure surfaces as a discovery finding, not a Copilot-specific assessment | Copilot inherits user permissions — see Microsoft Copilot privacy docs. |
| Shadow AI / OAuth AI apps | Inventory of AI tools granted access to tenant data | Not covered by data discovery scope | Critical for AI governance conversations. |
| Coverage | |||
| Microsoft 365[1],[4] | OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, Entra OAuth apps | Microsoft 365 connectors for data discovery | Both cover M365. Cyflow goes deeper on remediation and SSPM. |
| Google Workspace[5] | Drive, Gmail, Docs, OAuth apps — first-class | Limited or partial Google Workspace coverage | Pick Cyflow if Google Workspace must be in scope with the same depth as M365. |
| Endpoint data discovery | Workspace-scoped — files, mailboxes, shares (cloud and managed apps) | Includes endpoint scanning agents for laptops and on-prem data | Cavelo's edge if endpoint data is in scope; Cyflow is workspace-first by design. |
| Operations & TCO | |||
| Onboarding | 30-second OAuth consent — first findings within minutes | Connect cloud sources + deploy endpoint agents where needed | Cyflow is agent-less for the workspace layer; Cavelo's endpoint scope adds agent rollout. |
| Ongoing operational work | Set-and-forget — autonomous agents triage and remediate | Continuous review of risk findings; manual remediation by IT/security | Cavelo produces findings to act on; Cyflow acts on them. |
| Multi-tenancy / MSP operations | Built for MSP — multi-tenant from day one | Primarily single-tenant deployments; multi-tenant support varies | MSPs managing many tenants need a single console with cross-tenant context. |
| Best fit | |||
| Ideal customer | Teams that want one platform for data, SSPM, AI readiness, DLP, and baselines — with autonomous remediation | Teams with broad endpoint + cloud data discovery needs and an existing remediation workflow / SOC | Cavelo is strong on visibility; Cyflow is strong on outcomes and platform breadth. |
No tool wins every job. If any of these match, run with Cavelo — or run both, side-by-side.
01
Cyflow's AI agents detect and fix workspace exposure 24/7 — oversharing, anyone-links, risky OAuth apps, ex-employee access. Cavelo is excellent at telling you what's risky and where it lives, but the fix is a separate workflow. Cyflow closes the loop without adding a human step.
02
Cyflow consolidates data exposure, SaaS security posture, AI exposure, DLP, and M365 baselines into one console with one contract. Cavelo focuses on data discovery and classification; pairing it with SSPM, drift management, and AI readiness means stitching multiple vendors together.
03
30-second OAuth onboarding, no endpoint agents on the workspace layer, no SOC required to action findings. Cyflow turns sensitive-data, oversharing, and AI exposure into closed-loop work — instead of a backlog of risk tickets to assign and chase.
FAQ
Connect one Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant in 30 seconds via OAuth. Cyflow returns sensitive-data, oversharing, and AI-exposure findings the same session — and autonomous AI agents start fixing them without a human in the loop.
