AI security and governance are impossible without deep data and identity context. In an evaluation of 10 of the market’s most significant platforms, Theom was one of only three solutions to be named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Sensitive Data Discovery And Classification Solutions, Q2 2026. To us, this independent recognition confirms our data security platform as the definitive standard for organizations building secure, scalable AI programs.

AI security fundamentally depends on answering the critical question most organizations struggle with: What is the full context of the data? To understand this, you must be able to answer the 5Ws of your data environment:
Legacy database activity monitoring and traditional classification tools fail to answer these questions at the speed or scale required by modern LLMs.
Theom was recently evaluated by Forrester, alongside nine other significant platforms in this space. After researching, analyzing, and scoring the most significant platforms in this space, Forrester named Theom a Leader. Theom is among the top vendors in the market across the most vital criteria for modern AI governance, AI security, AI observability, and data security programs.
Forrester gave Theom a 5/5 rating, the highest possible score, in 12 distinct evaluation criteria.
Scores are on a scale of 1 (with a score of 1 defined as below par relative to others evaluated) to 5 (with a score of 5 defined as superior relative to others evaluated). Source: The Forrester Wave™: Sensitive Data Discovery And Classification Solutions, Q2 2026.
As enterprises rush to deploy generative AI and copilots, the attack surface for sensitive data is expanding exponentially. You can no longer rely on tools that merely scan databases periodically and generate alert fatigue. You need a continuous, identity-aware security fabric that understands data context in real-time.
Securing a Leader position in the Forrester Wave™ is more than an industry acknowledgment; we believe it is a critical de-risking metric for security leaders. Theom delivers the absolute stability, scale, and continuous visibility the modern enterprise expects, empowering you to safely accelerate your AI initiatives without compromising on data privacy.
Don't build your AI governance program on incomplete data context.
