Concentric AI has announced a significant expansion to its Semantic Intelligence data security governance platform by enhancing the capabilities of its Private Scan Manager. With this update, organizations can now deploy Semantic Intelligence directly within their own private Microsoft Azure cloud environments. This latest development builds on Concentric AI’s earlier announcement supporting private scanning in AWS environments, ultimately giving customers greater flexibility to choose the private cloud platform that best aligns with their compliance and operational requirements.
As regulatory demands continue to intensify, especially across highly regulated industries, many organizations must process sensitive data on-premises rather than in shared or public cloud environments. Addressing this critical need, Concentric AI’s Private Scan Manager for Azure enables enterprises to meet strict compliance mandates while still leveraging advanced AI-driven data security governance. As a result, organizations gain access to powerful data categorization, remediation, and GenAI data protection capabilities without compromising regulatory obligations.

“At a time when legacy players in the data security space are discontinuing support for on-prem deployments, this capability from Concentric AI is well-timed to meet the needs of a large portion of the market that requires their sensitive data to remain within their own environment,” said Arthur Hedge, Co-founder and President of Castle Ventures Corporation.
Notably, Private Scan Manager for Azure serves as an ideal deployment option for U.S. government agencies, public sector organizations, and contractors operating within Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC) High environments. These entities rely on GCC High to manage Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) securely. In addition, organizations in sectors such as healthcare, financial services, pharmaceuticals, and telecommunications can now adopt AI-driven data security governance while ensuring that sensitive data never leaves their on-premises environments.
With this deployment model, all raw data scanning and categorization take place entirely within the organization’s private Microsoft Azure cloud. Consequently, businesses can avoid investing in heavy on-prem computing infrastructure or dedicating extensive operational resources to software management, maintenance, and upgrades.

“While other vendors are stepping away from on-prem deployments, Concentric AI remains focused on giving our customers choices,” said Dhruv Jhain, VP of Product at Concentric AI. “Concentric AI’s Private Scan Manager for Azure is important to organizations in highly regulated industries, for example, hedge funds, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, telcos, and so on, because it can help them reap the operational benefits of SaaS and alleviate heavy data processing burdens while at the same time enabling adherence to compliance mandates.”
At the core of this offering, Semantic Intelligence redefines data security governance by delivering a single, end-to-end platform that protects enterprise data wherever it resides and however it moves. This includes data at rest across cloud and on-premises environments, data in motion via email or file-sharing tools, and data accessed through GenAI applications.
Rather than relying on static rules or keyword matching, Semantic Intelligence uses patented AI to understand the context of both structured and unstructured data. This contextual awareness allows the platform to accurately identify PII, PCI, and PHI, along with intellectual property and mission-critical business documents. As a result, organizations benefit from stronger classifications, smarter access controls, category-aware DLP, and continuous risk monitoring ensuring sensitive data remains secure across the modern digital landscape.
