Theom is a data security and governance company founded in 2020 by a team of veterans from Google, Cisco, and Yahoo. The San Francisco-based firm was created to address the challenges of securing data in modern, federated cloud environments, a problem the founders experienced firsthand while building and scaling foundational data systems such as Hadoop and BigQuery.
The company's core offering is its Data and AI Operations Center, a platform that provides a unified control plane for data security and governance. Theom's technology works by focusing on the data itself, rather than the perimeter, to monitor and control access. The platform can map data flows and user identity in real-time without the use of agents, enforce least-privilege access policies, and detect threats before they escalate. It integrates with major cloud data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, and AWS, providing security for everything from cloud data warehouses to generative AI pipelines.
Theom utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a tamper-proof and publicly verifiable audit log of all actions taken on a customer's data. Every event, from data classification and risk remediation to simple observation, is logged on the Hedera network.
