BigID Data Security Platform – DSPM & data security platform for enterprises

BigID Data Security Platform is a data-first security platform that helps enterprises discover, classify, control and reduce data risk across cloud, hybrid, SaaS and AI environments. Through a DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) approach, BigID enables enterprises to increase visibility, assess and remediate risk at the data level – where threats actually exist.

Data security challenges in cloud and hybrid environments

In modern IT environments, sensitive data is distributed across multiple systems such as data lakes, data warehouses, SaaS applications, on-premise systems and third parties. This causes enterprises to face many difficulties in data protection:

• Unclear where sensitive data resides

• Complex access rights, prone to over-privileged access

• Risks from insiders, third parties, and supply chain

• Compliance pressure with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, ISO 27001

Traditional security tools often focus on network or identity, but lack the ability to look deeply into the data itself.

What is DSPM and how does it support data security?

DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) is a data security posture management approach, focusing on answering three core groups of questions:

• Data: what sensitive data, where it resides

• Identity & access: who has access, whether that access is legitimate

• Operations: how data is being used, are there any anomalies

DSPM helps enterprises shift from "outside-in" protection to inside-out data protection, aligning with data-centric Zero Trust philosophy.

BigID Data Security Platform – Data Discovery & Classification

A core capability of the BigID data security platform is automated data discovery and classification across multiple environments:

• Discover data on cloud, SaaS, database, file system and on-premise

• Data classification using pattern matching combined with ML/NLP

• Detect personal and sensitive data such as PII, PHI, PCI, financial data

• Support for scanning data at petabyte scale, thousands of data sources

As a result, enterprises can know exactly what data exists, where it resides, and its level of sensitivity.

BigID Data Security Suite – Modular architecture data security platform

BigID is not a single tool, but a Data Security Suite consisting of multiple specialized modules operating unified on a single platform. Key modules include:

• Dark Data Discovery

• Data Discovery & Classification

• DSPM (Data Security Posture Management)

• Access Intelligence

• Data Labeling

• Data Retention

• Data Deletion

• Data Remediation

Modular architecture allows businesses to deploy flexibly in phases, while easily scaling when data security needs increase.

Data risk management with BigID's DSPM

With integrated DSPM, BigID helps enterprises:

• Detect exposed data, misconfigurations, and redundant, obsolete, and trivial data (ROT)

• Prioritize risks based on sensitivity and business context

• Continuously monitor data security posture across multiple environments

BigID's differentiator lies not only in displaying risks, but also in supporting actual risk remediation.

Agentic Remediation – Agent-based data risk remediation

Unlike many DSPM solutions that only provide alerts, BigID integrates Agentic Remediation – an AI-guided agent-based risk remediation mechanism. When risks are detected, the system can:

• Recommend or enforce access revocation/privilege reduction

• Re-label data according to policy

• Enable archiving or deletion of unnecessary data

• Delegate processing to the appropriate data owner

This approach helps enterprises reduce actual risk, rather than just creating more dashboards or alerts.

Control data access with Access Intelligence

The Access Intelligence Module enables enterprises to:

• Analyze who is accessing data and access levels

• Detect excessive access rights of users, groups and third parties

• Revoke or adjust permissions according to least privilege principle

• Support Zero Trust implementation with a data-centric approach

Data labeling and ecosystem integration

BigID supports data labeling and integrates with major platforms to expand security policy enforcement:

• Microsoft Purview: https://learn.microsoft.com/purview

• AWS (data governance & security): https://aws.amazon.com/security

• Google Cloud / Workspace: https://cloud.google.com/security

Data labeling helps DLP, CASB, and access control tools operate more accurately and consistently.

Data lifecycle management: Retention & Deletion

BigID platform supports comprehensive data lifecycle governance:

• Establish data retention policies according to compliance requirements

• Automatically delete redundant, expired data to reduce attack surface

• Support for DSAR and Right to be Forgotten

• Complete audit log for auditing and compliance

This is a particularly important capability for Legal, Privacy and Compliance departments.

Data Security for AI and GenAI with BigID Next

With the BigID Next direction, the platform expands to data security for AI and GenAI:

• Control data input for AI training and inference

• Detect and manage shadow AI

• Reduce data leakage risk through GenAI

• Ensure compliance when enterprises deploy AI

Integrate BigID and Fortanix for automated data protection

BigID can integrate with Fortanix DSM & Data Security Gateway to enable protection mechanisms such as encryption or tokenization according to policy. This combination creates a closed loop:

Discover → Protect → Govern

How is BigID different from other DSPM solutions?

BigID Data Security Platform differs in three key areas:

• Not just displaying risk: focus on remediating actual risk

• Unlimited cloud snapshots: operates on cloud, SaaS, hybrid, on-premise, and AI

• Not a point solution: consolidates DSPM, Data Governance, Privacy and AI Data Security

Therefore, BigID serves as a comprehensive data security platform for enterprises.
