Jumpstart Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)
Proactive, data-centric DSPM for the multi-cloud era.
Accelerate your DSPM program with a data-first approach. BigID automatically maps, monitors, and remediates data risk across multi-cloud environments, powered by ML-driven in-depth data discovery and automation. Get continuous visibility into your data security posture without manual inventories or point-in-time snapshots.
BigID’s DSPM capabilities cover the full lifecycle: discover where sensitive data lives, classify it by type and risk level, assess who has access, identify policy violations, and remediate vulnerabilities through automated workflows.
Data-Centric AI Security & Risk Governance
Identify and govern sensitive data in AI models before it becomes a breach.
BigID helps security teams proactively identify sensitive, toxic, and high-risk data fueling AI models, so you can reduce exposure, ensure compliance, and minimize AI risk. Whether it’s PII in LLM training data, intellectual property in generative AI pipelines, or shadow AI proliferating across business units, BigID provides the visibility and control security teams need across multi-cloud and on-prem environments.


Shine a Light on Dark Data
Automatically find and inventory your most sensitive, critical, and high-priority data - wherever it lives.
Dark data is sensitive information that exists in your environment but is unknown to your security team. It represents one of the largest and most common sources of enterprise data risk because you cannot protect what you cannot see.
BigID provides unmatched data discovery and classification to find the data that matters most: regulated PII, financial records, intellectual property, credentials, secrets, and more. ML-driven classification delivers faster, more accurate results across structured and unstructured data, from on-prem file systems to cloud storage to SaaS applications.
Advanced Sensitivity Classification
Achieve unparalleled accuracy and scalability in automated data classification.
Traditional pattern-matching and regular expression (RegEx) approaches miss large volumes of sensitive data, especially in unstructured files, non-standard formats, and new data types. BigID goes beyond legacy approaches with advanced, trainable ML and NLP-based classifiers that deliver industry-leading accuracy.
Build custom classifiers tailored to your unique data environment. Test and fine-tune before deployment to reduce false positives and increase coverage.


Streamline Data Protection Workflows & Remediate Risk
Remediate high-risk, sensitive, and critical data from one place.
A single pane of glass for all data protection actions: annotate, delete, quarantine, archive, mask, encrypt, and anonymize sensitive data. Assign findings and tasks to the right data owners, maintain a full audit trail of all data protection activity, and enforce remediation priorities by policy. Report on actions taken on sensitive data for compliance purposes.
Enable Zero Trust for Data
Identify and remediate high-risk data access issues across your data landscape.
Find over-permissioned and over-exposed data across your entire environment. Mitigate unauthorized use, reduce the risk of data leaks or breaches, and move toward a least-privilege permissions model that supports your zero trust architecture. BigID’s access intelligence capabilities give security teams the visibility they need to enforce data-level access controls at scale.

How the US Army Ensures
Their Data is in the Safe Zone
BigID equipped the US Army with the ability to illuminate dark data, accelerate cloud migration, minimize redundancy, and automate data retention, resulting in enhanced security, minimized risk, and streamlined data management across their complex, multi-platform environment.

How The University of Maryland Saved $5 Million in Risk Exposure
The University of Maryland deployed BigID to uncover and reduce over $5 million in data risk across 2.5 petabytes of cloud storage. Using deep discovery and classification across Google Drive, Microsoft 365, and Box, they identified and remediated thousands of exposed PII records, improving compliance posture, minimizing data exposure, and improving visibility across their entire data landscape.
FAQ:
What is data security posture management (DSPM)? Data security posture management (DSPM) is a category of security technology that provides organizations with continuous, automated visibility into where sensitive data lives, who has access to it, and where it is at risk across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. DSPM platforms like BigID use machine learning to automatically discover, classify, and assess data risk so security teams can prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities before they lead to breaches or compliance failures.
What is AI security posture management (AI SPM)? AI security posture management (AI SPM) extends DSPM principles to the AI layer, providing visibility and governance over the data entering and exiting AI models, LLMs, and generative AI pipelines. AI SPM helps organizations discover sensitive data in AI training sets, enforce data-use policies, detect shadow AI usage, and reduce the risk of data leakage through AI systems. BigID unifies DSPM and AI SPM in a single platform.
What data sources does BigID cover? BigID connects to 500+ data sources natively, including SaaS platforms, PaaS and IaaS environments, dev tools, applications, big data and NoSQL systems, email platforms, and on-premises data centers, at petabyte scale. This includes structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data across cloud, hybrid, and air-gapped environments.
Does BigID cover unstructured and semi-structured data? Yes. BigID provides comprehensive coverage across all data types: structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. This enables discovery of dark data and sensitive records across documents, emails, images, code repositories, and more. BigID combines RegEx with advanced ML and AI to scan data 95% faster than legacy tools.
What is the difference between DSPM and traditional DLP? Traditional DLP tools rely on static rules and pattern-matching to prevent data loss at network boundaries. They often miss large volumes of sensitive data, especially in unstructured files, cloud-native environments, and modern SaaS platforms. DSPM takes a data-centric approach: using ML-driven discovery to find all sensitive data, continuously assessing risk posture, and providing full data context (ownership, access, regulatory obligations) to enable smarter, automated remediation. DSPM is proactive; legacy DLP is reactive.
What security use cases can BigID solve? BigID addresses a broad range of data security use cases: improving data security posture (DSPM), enabling zero trust, managing insider risk, minimizing attack surfaces, accelerating cloud migrations, validating M&A data risk, staying compliant with global regulations, governing data in AI pipelines, automating end-to-end data lifecycle management, managing cross-border data transfers, and modernizing DLP with machine learning.
