San Francisco – – September 16, 2026 -- Nasuni has acquired DryvIQ, adding AI-powered content classification and governance tools to its unstructured data platform for enterprise and AI workloads. Carlsquare advised DryvIQ on the transaction; financial terms were not disclosed.
Nasuni folds content intelligence into its file data platform to close a governance gap
The deal gives Nasuni's platform content-level discovery, classification, sensitivity detection and automated policy-driven governance, extending visibility beyond Nasuni's own environment into more than 40 cloud and on-premises repositories. Nick Burling, Chief Product Officer at Nasuni, said the company has added edge performance through Resilio, permission-aware AI access through AI Activate, and now governance through DryvIQ within the same year, positioning UniFS as a single foundation to manage, move, classify, govern and activate enterprise file data.
DryvIQ leadership frames the deal as consolidation of scattered enterprise content
Mark Brazeau, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at DryvIQ, said most enterprise content remains unclassified despite being spread across dozens of repositories, and that joining Nasuni brings DryvIQ's content intelligence directly into a cloud-native file platform. Matt Doyle, President at DryvIQ, said the combination gives customers a single governed foundation to classify, manage, protect and activate data across systems, crediting Carlsquare's Susan Blanco and her team's knowledge of the data software landscape for shaping the outcome for DryvIQ shareholders.
Buyers are consolidating file management, security and AI-access tools that were previously bought from separate vendors
Nasuni's Burling said customers have spent years stitching together multiple vendors to manage unstructured data amid rising infrastructure costs and demand for safe AI access, a gap the DryvIQ acquisition is intended to close within a single platform.
