Securing sensitive enterprise data across modern, fragmented cloud environments should never be held hostage by bureaucratic red tape. Yet, for security leaders trying to deploy critical capabilities like Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Detection & Response (DDR), the biggest hurdle often isn’t evaluating technology, because navigating lengthy procurement, security reviews, and vendor onboarding cycles takes so much time.
Today, we are thrilled to mark a significant milestone in removing those friction points, as Matters.AI is officially live on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace!
For enterprise organizations leveraging Microsoft 365, Azure, and Microsoft Purview, procuring and deploying advanced AI-powered data discovery, classification, and threat response capabilities just became faster, simpler, and far more cost-effective.
Overcoming the Enterprise Procurement Bottleneck
In large enterprise security environments, bringing in a new vendor can take anywhere from three to nine months. Security teams identify a critical visibility gap, evaluate solutions, and select a product, only to stall out in legal reviews, finance approvals, and third-party risk assessments.
By listing on the Azure Marketplace, Matters.AI fundamentally transforms this commercial motion. Enterprise buyers can now bypass net-new vendor onboarding by leveraging their existing Microsoft commercial relationships.
Here is how our marketplace listing changes the equation for enterprise buyers.
1. Accelerated Procurement Cycles
When you purchase Matters.AI through the Azure Marketplace, the transaction flows through your established Microsoft purchasing agreement. This means pre-vetted contractual frameworks, consolidated billing on your standard Microsoft invoice, and significantly reduced legal and vendor management friction. What previously took months of contract redlining can now be completed in a fraction of the time.
2. Maximizing Committed Spend (MACC Eligibility)
One of the most strategic advantages for enterprise buyers is the ability to unlock existing cloud budgets. Many enterprise customers operate under a Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC), which is a contract where the organization commits to spending a specified dollar amount on Azure cloud services over a fixed multi-year period.
If your organization has remaining MACC budget that must be fulfilled before the end of a contract cycle, purchasing an eligible SaaS solution like Matters.AI through the marketplace allows you to draw down against that existing financial commitment. Rather than fighting for net-new security budget allocations, security teams can partner with cloud procurement leads to protect sensitive data using capital that has already been approved and allocated.
3. Deepening Architectural Synergy with Microsoft Security
Modern security architectures thrive on ecosystem synergy rather than isolated silos. Matters.AI is designed to complement and extend your existing Microsoft investments, including Microsoft 365, Azure infrastructure, and Microsoft Purview.
While platforms like Purview excel at governance across native Microsoft environments, enterprise data routinely drifts into multi-cloud repositories, SaaS platforms, and unmanaged data stores. Matters.AI bridges this visibility gap. Our AI-driven classification and real-time detection engines extend contextual data protection across your entire hybrid environment, feeding actionable intelligence back into your broader security operations center (SOC).
What Capabilities Are Available on Day One?
Through our Azure Marketplace listing, enterprise teams can immediately deploy Matters.AI’s complete unified data security platform.
- Automated Data Discovery: Continuously scan structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data stores to pinpoint shadow data, exposed API keys, PII, and intellectual property.
- Contextual AI Classification: Move beyond rigid, regex-based rules. Our platform analyzes business context to classify data with high accuracy and low false-positive rates.
- Real-Time Data Detection & Response (DDR): Detect anomalous data access patterns, internal policy violations, and potential exfiltration events as they happen, enabling automated remediation before a breach occurs.
Accelerate Your Data Security Roadmap Today
The launch of Matters.AI on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace ensures that procurement complexity no longer stands in the way of comprehensive data security. By combining streamlined purchasing, MACC spend eligibility, and enterprise-grade DSPM + DDR capabilities, we are giving security teams the tools they need to act fast.
