# Cyflow vs Cavelo

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

-   CyflowOne platform for data, SSPM, AI readiness, DLP, and M365 baselines — with autonomous AI agents that detect and remediate exposure without manual work.
-   CaveloStrong data discovery and classification across endpoints, cloud, and SaaS — risk findings as input to a remediation workflow you operate.

Notes / ideal for

Workspace data security

Sensitive data discovery[\[1\]](#source-1),[\[2\]](#source-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[\[1\]](#source-1),[\[2\]](#source-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[\[1\]](#source-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)[\[3\]](#source-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[\[1\]](#source-1),[\[4\]](#source-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[\[5\]](#source-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.

02Honest take

## When Cavelo is the better fit

No tool wins every job. If any of these match, run with Cavelo — or run both, side-by-side.

-   Endpoint data discovery on laptops, file servers, and on-prem data stores is a primary requirement — Cavelo's endpoint scanning agents are explicitly in scope.
-   The buyer is a security team with a mature SOC or remediation workflow that wants risk findings as input, not autonomous fixes.
-   The engagement is centered on broad data discovery and classification across many data source types, with no requirement for SSPM, baselines/drift, or AI readiness.
-   There is no need to cover Google Workspace, AI assistants (Copilot / Gemini / ChatGPT), Shadow AI, or to operate the platform across many MSP tenants from a single console.

03Where Cyflow leads

## Three reasons buyers pick Cyflow

01

### Autonomous remediation, not just risk reports

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

### One platform: data + SSPM + AI readiness + DLP + baselines

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

### Lower TCO, no manual work

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

## Common Questions

Yes. Cyflow auto-classifies files, drives, mailboxes, and shares across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace using AI — with frameworks for GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, PCI, and ISO 27001. The difference is what happens next: Cyflow's agents autonomously remediate the exposure they find, while Cavelo's strength is classification and risk reporting.

## From risk findings to closed-loop remediation

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.
