Meet LyoTM.
Pronounced "Lee-Oh." Like Leo, the lion.
Lyo is not a dashboard. Not a scanner. Not another tool that generates alerts for your team to chase.
Lyo is an engineer. The world's first AI-native data defense engineer. It works 24/7 to see, understand, and protect every data journey across your code, cloud, SaaS, and AI systems.

Scanners find problems. Humans fix problems. The math doesn't scale.
In the AI era, data isn't just stored information. It's executable intelligence that directly shapes what software does. A breach isn't just stolen records. It's corrupted intelligence that can manipulate every decision your systems make.
Your data is moving across code, cloud, SaaS, AI agents, and third parties at a speed no human team can track. Traditional tools scan periodically and hand you a list of findings. Then they wait for you to investigate, prioritize, and fix.
More data. More AI. More problems. More humans needed.
Lyo™ breaks that cycle.
A scanner detects.
Lyo understands.
A scanner detects.
Lyo™ understands.
It sees everything.
All the time.
Lyo™ tracks thousands of data journeys simultaneously across code, runtime, AI models, data stores, enterprise apps, and identities. Not periodic scans. Continuous, real-time visibility into what your data is doing and where it's going, and why.
It understands the why.
Other tools tell you what data exists. Lyo tells you the story of your data. The business purpose. The legal obligation. The identity behind the access. The risk. Context is what turns a finding into an action. Without it, you have noise. With it, you have defense.
It detects risk as it forms - not after.
When a developer commits code at 2 AM that sends customer data to an unapproved third-party API, Lyo™ catches it before production. When a misconfiguration exposes a database on Saturday night, Lyo™ restricts access immediately. A scanner waits until Monday. Lyo™ never waits.
Treat Lyo™ like a teammate.
Ask a question in plain English. Get a precise answer in seconds. Lyo™ surfaces what matters, explains why it matters, and tells you exactly what to do about it.
No query builder.
No filtering through dashboards.
Just ask.
Choose your expertise level or get comprehensive coverage across all domains with our integrated approach.
Built for the speed of AI. Not the speed of humans.
Why Lyo?
Named after Lyon, the lion. Relyance AI's spirit animal and symbol of strength, vigilance, and protection.
A lion doesn't wait to be told there's danger. It watches. It understands. It acts.
That's Lyo.
Your always-on, always-learning, always-protecting data defense engineer.
FAQ
What is Lyo?
Lyo is the world's first AI-native data defense engineer. It is an autonomous intelligence built into the Relyance AI platform that works 24/7 to discover, monitor, and protect your data across code, cloud, SaaS, AI systems, and third parties. Think of it as a tireless engineer that sees every data journey, understands the context behind every risk, and acts to resolve issues at machine speed.
How is Lyo different from a DSPM or AI-SPM tool?
DSPM and AI-SPM tools focus on data discovery and posture awareness, which is an important first step. But discovery alone isn't defense. Lyo goes further. It correlates data, identity, and behavior in real time to understand not just what your data is, but what it's doing and why. It then delivers contextual remediation. DSPM and AI-SPM capabilities are features within Lyo, not the other way around.
How is Lyo different from a scanner?
A scanner detects. Lyo understands. Scanners run periodically and tell you what data exists. Lyo monitors continuously and tells you the full story of your data: where it came from, what transformed it, who or what is accessing it, and what risk it carries. Scanners generate alerts for humans to investigate. Lyo delivers guided action and prevents issues before they become incidents.
What types of data does Lyo monitor?
Lyo ingests and correlates data from multiple discovery points: source code and CI/CD pipelines, runtime data in motion, first and third-party AI footprints, structured and unstructured data stores, enterprise apps and SaaS connectors, and human and non-human identities. This multi-point visibility is what allows Lyo to map complete data journeys rather than isolated snapshots.
Does Lyo work with AI agents and MCP servers?
Yes. Lyo provides a unified inventory of AI agents, tools, MCP servers, and models alongside your non-AI assets. It maps the relationships between AI agents and data assets to surface compound risks, such as an AI agent with overprivileged access to sensitive data. It also provides expanded discovery and risk assessment for third-party MCP servers and vendor-supplied AI components.
How does Lyo handle remediation?
Lyo doesn't just find problems. It engineers the solution. When it identifies a risky data flow or policy violation, it provides contextual remediation that explains why the issue is risky, what obligation it violates, and exactly how to fix it.
Does Lyo require agents or sensors to deploy?
No. Lyo is fully agentless and API-first, designed for petabyte scale. It offers flexible deployment options: full SaaS for rapid deployment, InHost for running entirely within your VPC, and DirectConnect for a private link between your network and the platform.
Who is Lyo built for?
Lyo is built for security, privacy, and AI governance teams at mid-size and enterprise organizations deploying AI at scale. CISOs, security engineers, privacy officers, and data engineering teams all interact with Lyo through a single platform rather than managing separate tools for separate problems.
Why is it called Lyo?
Lyo is named after Lyon, the lion, which is Relyance AI's spirit animal and symbol of strength, vigilance, and protection. A lion doesn't wait to be told there's danger. It watches, understands, and acts. That's Lyo.
