Use tool ↗About Theom
Theom is an agentless platform that discovers and classifies data across cloud storage, databases, and SaaS systems, then maps who and what -- including AI models -- is actually using it. The goal is letting a company activate its data for GenAI applications while enforcing access policy and catching insider threats or risky data flows before they become incidents. It connects to platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, Azure, and common databases like PostgreSQL and MongoDB without requiring an installed agent on each system. Theom was founded in December 2020 by a team with prior security and infrastructure backgrounds at Cisco's Tetration Analytics and Google.

Pros & cons of Theom
Theom is built for a specific, current problem: companies want to point GenAI tools at their data but do not have a clear map of where sensitive data lives or who -- including which models -- can reach it. The founding team's background building Tetration Analytics, later acquired by Cisco, gives it more credibility than a first-time security startup, but as an enterprise sale there is no way to trial it without engaging sales.
Pros
- Agentless discovery avoids installing software on every monitored system
- Broad connector list spanning major clouds, warehouses, and databases
- Explicitly designed around GenAI data-access risk, not just legacy compliance
- Founding team has a credible track record from a previously acquired security company
Cons
- No pricing, free trial, or sandbox available to evaluate hands-on
- Headquarters location is not stated plainly on the company's own site
- Effectiveness claims, industry-analyst recognitions aside, are not independently testable from outside
Best for
- Enterprises trying to govern data access before rolling out internal GenAI tools
- Security teams needing a cross-cloud, cross-database map of sensitive data
- Organizations worried about insider threats touching regulated data
Not for
- Small companies or solo developers without an enterprise security budget
- Teams wanting a self-serve signup rather than a sales-led evaluation
