As software development accelerates, it's becoming increasingly challenging for legal, security, and IT teams to coordinate their efforts to track personal data flows. Manual workflows that rely on filling out forms and attending meetings can leave IT staff in the dark, which puts user and customer trust at risk.

That's where Relyance AI comes in. Our machine learning technology builds a dynamic, real-time data inventory and map that monitors how personal data moves through your code, applications, infrastructure, and third-party vendors.

On this episode of the Darius Gant Show, Abhi Sharma, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Relyance AI, shares his background and experience building and marketing compilers, large-scale data processing architectures, machine learning systems, and observability tools. Abhi explains how he applied metamodeling and machine learning to tackle the problems at the intersection of different privacy and security domains, leading to the creation of Relyance AI.
