Software alone isn’t enough
The data security market is crowded with vendors who promise the world but disappear once the contract is signed. As a result, organizations typically end up in one of three situations:
- Lack of services: Many vendors claim their solution “just works,” ignoring the inherent complexity of implementing data security in an ever-evolving threat landscape. To achieve meaningful outcomes, customers must often seek out costly third-party services.
- Require fulltime FTEs: What’s left out of the sales pitch is the need to hire specialized, fulltime employees to see any sort of results. These unplanned staffing requirements drive total cost far beyond what was originally sold.
- Costly basics: Even when vendors do offer services, they’re often limited, basic, and expensive. Costs for the most basic services sometimes exceed $100K for minimal value.
When faced with one of these scenarios, organizations often can’t justify the cost of outside services, new hires, or overpriced basic services. Instead, the solution becomes shelfware, putting the team back at square one. Months of navigating the sales cycle and onboarding are wasted with little to show for it.

Our expertise in action
Varonis Concierge specializes in helping organizations reach their data security goals. We enable customers to tackle complex challenges. Let’s take a look at two use cases to see how Varonis goes beyond software to enable customers to meet ambitious security goals.
Enabling fast and secure Copilot deployment
A major food production company partnered with Varonis to roll out Microsoft Copilot across all business units. They needed to boost AI-driven productivity while maintaining strict data security.
During the organization’s initial eight-user pilot, the team identified a concerning level of sensitive data exposure, particularly given the small pilot size. A Varonis risk assessment revealed the culprits: widespread SharePoint access and a complex classification taxonomy spanning 50 data types.
Varonis Concierge built a tailored flight plan: remediating excessive access, applying Purview labels, monitoring Copilot interactions, and developing custom classification rules. The team also strengthened the organization’s overall security posture by removing stale users and permissions, paving the way for a secure foundation for Copilot rollout.
With Varonis Concierge and the platform’s automations, the company classified 700,000 sensitive files, labeling 80% for DLP and CIS compliance. Microsoft 365 exposure dropped by 97.5%, OneDrive overexposure was eliminated, and 53,000 stale permissions were removed. Copilot activity dashboards tracked referencing of sensitive files and alerted on potential risks. The results not only secured the rollout but also demonstrated organizational readiness for Copilot, enabling broader deployment and positioning the organization to accelerate its use of AI.
Passing a complex audit with flying colors
A mid-sized healthcare organization sought Varonis support during a critical audit. Legacy systems and unclear data ownership made it difficult to prove control over Protected Health Information (PHI). With employees managing disparate environments, the organization lacked visibility into where PHI lived and where it was exposed, creating compliance risk.
Varonis Concierge developed an operational plan to discover, classify, and analyze PHI ahead of the audit. Within 35 days, Varonis uncovered more than 12,000 folders containing exposed PHI and implemented automated remediation, reducing exposure by 87%. This not only enabled the organization to complete the audit successfully but also delivered a more resilient, sustainable security posture.
Varonis’ support is unprecedented, and their team continues to evolve and improve their products to align with the rapid pace of the industry.
