Arexdata

Arexdata builds a data security posture management (DSPM) platform aimed at giving enterprises visibility into where sensitive data actually lives across cloud and on-premises systems, then classifying and monitoring it for exposure and compliance risk. The Madrid-based company was founded in 2020 and launched its flagship AREXDATA DSPM product in 2022, built by a management team the company says has more than 25 years of combined data-security experience.

DSPM as a category exists because data sprawl across SaaS apps, cloud storage, and shadow databases has outpaced traditional data loss prevention tooling, and larger vendors (including Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, and several well-funded DSPM-native startups) have been consolidating the space through acquisition and in-house builds over the past two years. Arexdata is a small, independent entrant into that increasingly contested category, with roughly 28 employees and offices in Madrid and London.

Public information on Arexdata’s funding, named enterprise customers, or third-party technical evaluation is limited, which is typical for a company at this stage but means its scoring here leans more on category relevance and stated product capability than independently verified traction. Prospective customers should treat vendor claims about coverage and time-to-value as unverified until confirmed in a proof of concept.
