Comply with the 2024 EU AI Act & Reduce Your AI Risk with BigID

The EU AI Act, the first global policy on AI, is now in effect. The AI Act ensures the safe, secure, and ethical development of AI. The regulation groups AI applications based on risk with stricter rules for higher risk. Organizations are now required to disclose what data their AI is being trained on, ensure that it's safe to use, and go through risk assessments.

BigID helps you comply by enabling you to find and classify ALL of your data - accurately, and at scale across on-prem and cloud for structured and unstructured data. Reduce risk by training AI only on data that is safe to use and govern the data that goes into your AI data sets, tagging sensitive data to exclude. Easily provide records and reporting to EU regulatory authorities.

Navigating the EU AI Act with BigID

Comply with the new regulation and develop trust with consumers

The new EU AI Act classifies AI applications into four categories: Unacceptable Risk, High Risk, Limited Risk, and Minimal Risk. High Risk systems such as financial, insurance, and employment, will be required to undergo risk assessments, show their AI training data sets and the involved business processes, and must be continuously monitored. Additionally, general-purpose AI (GPAI) systems must adhere to transparency requirements with documentation on the data sets used for training and ensuring proper security measures.

AI is only as good as the data it's trained on. Without knowing what data you are feeding it, it can lead to sensitive, personal, regulated, and outdated or irrelevant information being used. With BigID, you can determine which data falls under specific risk policies and identify what data is safe to use for AI to ensure that it won't compromise data security or privacy.

POWERFUL FEATURES

5 Reasons Why You Should Choose BigID for the EU AI Act

Coverage

Find and define exactly what data sets are safe to use for AI and reduce the risk of sensitive data leaks. Support for 100’s of data sources and types - unstructured or structured, on-prem or across the cloud. Accelerate insights and eliminate blind spots with Auto-Discovery.

Classification

Combines regular expression (RegEx) with advanced, AI and ML-based techniques to classify more data types, more accurately, at scale. Deploy hundreds of OOB classifiers. Train your own NLP and deep learning classification models.

Retention

Automatically remove redundant and outdated data to ensure your AI models are only trained on the most up-to-date and accurate data that is safe to use. Enforce retention policies to stay compliant with regulations.

Integrations

Open and API-first platform that integrates with and enriches the existing tech stack. Seamlessly coordinate security and risk remediation workflows across the right tools. Our partners include ServiceNow, Palo Alto Networks, Splunk, Snowflake, Microsoft, Google, AWS, and more.

Access

Ensure AI systems can only access safe-to-use data and alert on any unusual access. Easily revoke permissions and access for high risk data and maintain clear records of what data AI has accessed.

Reduce the Risk of AI by Uncovering Dark Data

Automatically find and classify your most sensitive, critical, and high-priority data - wherever it lives.

BigID makes it easy to identify and label sensitive data that is not safe to use for AI, so you can comply with the EU AI Act. Get unmatched data discovery and classification to find and label sensitive data: whether it's critical, regulated, personal, secrets, passwords, IP, financial, or more. Get more accurate results for unstructured and structured data every time with ML-driven data classification - across your entire data landscape (from on-prem to cloud to everywhere in between).

Advanced Classification for the EU AI Act

Classify all your data to determine its risk category and sensitivity

Go beyond traditional pattern-matching and regular expression (RegEx) with advanced, trainable ML and NLP-based classification. BigID enables you to classify, label, tag, and flag data by type, regulation, sensitivity, and purpose of use, making it easy to define and only train AI on appropriate sets of data that are low risk, relevant, and drive accurate results.

Create custom classifiers that can be tailored specifically to your unique data environment. Test and fine-tune them before deployment to enhance accuracy and mitigate the number of false positives. Label and tag all of your data using a single unified classification ruleset. 

Train Your AI Only On Safe-to-Use Data

Ensure compliance with the EU AI Act and reduce risk

Define which data sets are safe for training and govern the data that goes into your AI input data sets. BigID can help you find, filter, and govern both structured data and unstructured data, so you know exactly what data you are feeding your AI models.

Automatically flag when there is sensitive or regulated data where there shouldn't be. Leverage policies to manage your data and monitor for potential risks in your data catalog. Easily manage, track, and report on what data AI has used for training.

Enforce Retention Policies and Workflows

Mitigate risk and train AI only on relevant and up-to-date data through policy-driven retention management.

Remove redundant and outdated data to minimize your attack surface and train AI on the most up-to-date and accurate data that is safe to use.

Set retention policies and identify what data to delete, when to delete it, and what data to retain. Automate policy management to identify data, apply policies, take action, and audit for compliance with the EU AI Act.

 

Ensure AI Only Has Access to Safe-to-Use Data

Know and control exactly what data AI has access to and what permissions it has

Easily find and revoke AI access to over-permissioned and over-exposed data across your entire data landscape: mitigate unauthorized use, reduce the risk of data leaks or breaches, and get to a least privileged permissions model for zero trust to ensure compliance with the EU AI Act.

Maintain clear records of what data AI has accessed previously and can access currently. Implement controls to alert on unusual access and remediate high risk data.
