Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data Reviews & Product Details

Matters.AI is a data-security platform that combines Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Data Detection and Response (DDR), Database Activity Monitoring (DAM), User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), Insider Risk Management, Data Governance, sensitive data classification, cloud data security, and data lineage in one platform. Its data lineage engine continuously tracks the sequence of activity around sensitive data: what a user accessed, where the data came from, how it was transformed, where it moved, which applications or processes interacted with it, and where it left the environment. This produces a behavioral and data lineage graph that spans databases, cloud, SaaS, on-premises systems, and endpoints. The DDR engine uses this lineage, along with UEBA and intent-based analytics, to flag anomalies that are hard to spot in individual events. For example, a database query, a file download, and an upload to an approved cloud service may each be legitimate on their own but together point to possible exfiltration. Cloud and SaaS sources connect through agentless APIs, on-premises systems use a lightweight agent, and endpoints use on-device small language models for classification. When an incident is detected, Matters.AI generates an Evidence Pack that lists the sensitive data affected, the identities involved, the activity lineage, data movement, detected anomalies, and response actions. Actions such as access revocation, masking, encryption, and quarantine run only after human approval. Security teams use Matters.AI to investigate data incidents as a connected sequence of events rather than as separate alerts.

"Matters.ai Mapped Our Sensitive Data Fast with AI-Driven Classification & DSPM"

5/5

What do you like best about Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data?

We started with compliance program and it served the purpose well. But as we scaled, we realised compliance frameworks alone do not tell you where your actual sensitive data lives or how it is being accessed. Matters.ai filled that gap completely. The AI driven classification accurately mapped our data across Microsoft Azure, Google Workspace, Linear and Notion. The DSPM module gives us a real time posture view that compliance checklists never could. The agentic approach to remediation is a genuine differentiator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data?

The platform is feature rich which means there is a steep learning curve for new team members. More guided onboarding walkthroughs would help, however, their customer support is very active and extended to help us onboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data solving and how is that benefiting you?

Compliance gave us a framework and certifications like ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II. But it did not answer the fundamental questions like where our sensitive data actually resides, and who can access it? Matters.ai answers that question comprehensively. The AI classification covers data across cloud storage, SaaS apps, and collaboration tools. The risk scoring lets us prioritise action. This became our default visibility layer on top of our compliance stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A CISO's best investment: AI-powered data visibility that actually works"

5/5

What do you like best about Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data?

The AI Security Engineer from Matters.AI gives us something no other DSPM tool has delivered: actual clarity on where our sensitive data lives across cloud and SaaS. The automated classification is highly accurate, covering Indian PII patterns (Aadhaar, PAN, UPI IDs) out of the box. The risk-based exposure scoring lets me prioritize what matters instead of drowning in alerts. The agentic remediation capabilities reduce our mean time to respond to data exposure from days to hours. As a fintech CISO, the level of visibility this platform provides into data sprawl across AWS, GCP, and Google Workspace is exactly what we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data?

The reporting dashboard could use a few more customization options for board-level presentations. Minor, but it would save time when preparing quarterly reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a regulated fintech, we needed complete visibility into where customer PII and financial data resides across our cloud infrastructure. Before Matters.AI, we had fragmented views and no single pane of glass for data risk. Now, we can map every sensitive data store, identify over-permissioned access, and take action before an incident occurs. The AI-driven classification has reduced manual audit effort significantly, and the posture scoring gives my leadership team a clear metric to track over time.

"Matters.AI Delivers Fast, Low-Noise AI Insights and Strong Data Security"

5/5

What do you like best about Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data?

What we like best about Matters.AI is how effectively it secures our data at fastn.ai by providing contextual, AI-driven insights with minimal noise. It helps us quickly identify real risks, automate responses, and maintain strong data visibility across our environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data?

What we dislike about Matters.AI is that some workflows and configurations can take time to fully understand at the beginning, especially for first-time users. While the platform is powerful, a bit more onboarding guidance or simplification in certain areas could make the initial setup smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data solving and how is that benefiting you?

Matters.AI addresses this by providing a single, context-rich view of data activity and automatically highlighting real risks instead of overwhelming us with noise and false alerts. This has significantly reduced the time spent on manual investigation and alert triage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Matters.AI - AI Security Engineer for Data?

I like that it actually understands the data it finds. Matters.AI works like an automated engineer. It can fix risks on its own so I don't have to do it manually. It also watches data as it moves in real-time, which is much safer than just checking a database once a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform has so many features that it can be a bit confusing at first. It takes a while for a new person to learn how everything works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
