Enriching ServiceNow CMDBs with Data-Centric, Risk-Aware Insights for Better Security, Privacy, & Compliance
Security, data governance, and compliance teams often operate in silos with limited visibility into how sensitive data flows through their IT infrastructure. This fragmentation creates significant challenges in prioritizing security efforts, maintaining compliance, and managing data risk effectively. Organizations need a unified view that connects IT assets with deep insights about the data they contain.
BigID addresses this challenge as the first and only Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform with a certified ServiceNow Service Graph Connector. This industry-exclusive integration enriches ServiceNow’s Configuration Management Database (CMDB) with advanced data intelligence, delivering unprecedented visibility into data sensitivity and risks directly within existing ServiceNow workflows.
Auto-Populating ServiceNow’s CMDB With Rich Data Context
BigID transforms CMDB capabilities by incorporating the dimension of data context to identified assets. Through advanced AI and ML-based discovery and classification, BigID continuously enriches the CMDB with detailed insights about data sensitivity, usage patterns, and risk factors. This bi-directional synchronization ensures teams maintain an accurate, up-to-date view of both IT assets and their associated data context.
Enriching IT Assets Management
Modern enterprises face an ever-expanding digital footprint, making it increasingly challenging to track not just where assets are, but what sensitive data they contain. BigID’s integration bridges this critical gap by bringing industry-leading data discovery capabilities directly into the ServiceNow platform, enabling organizations to:
- Gain instant visibility into assets containing critical and sensitive data
- Apply these rich contextual insights within the ServiceNow Platform
- Execute data-driven workflows to prioritize remediation, automate questionnaires and surveys and accelerate regulatory response.
Strengthening Security and Privacy
BigID’s integration transforms how organizations manage security and privacy by enriching the CMDB with detailed data sensitivity insights. This enhanced context enables teams to make data-driven decisions, automate critical workflows, and strengthen their risk management strategies.
Enhanced Security Operations
Security teams often operate with limited visibility into the sensitivity attributes of their data assets. BigID’s integration changes this paradigm by providing essential context about data sensitivity directly within security workflows. This enhanced visibility enables security teams to prioritize their efforts based on actual risk to sensitive data, rather than just asset-level technical vulnerabilities.
Key security capabilities include:
- Enabling security teams to make informed decisions about access controls
- Prioritizing vulnerabilities based on data sensitivity
- Strengthening incident response with detailed data mapping
- Accelerating breach investigations by quickly identifying sensitive data attributes
- Streamlining security workflows with automated data classification
Automated Privacy Compliance
Privacy compliance has become increasingly complex, requiring organizations to maintain detailed knowledge of where sensitive data resides across their infrastructure. BigID’s integration automates this process by continuously mapping and classifying sensitive data within the CMDB, enabling privacy teams to respond quickly to regulatory requirements and data subject requests.
Key privacy capabilities include:
- Identifying sensitive and personal data to power privacy workflows
- Automating assessments and Data Protection Impact Analysis (DPIAs)
- Enhancing compliance questionnaires with data intelligence
- Supporting regulatory reporting requirements
- Enabling efficient breach impact analysis
Reducing AI Risk
As AI adoption accelerates, understanding and managing training data becomes critical. BigID provides visibility into AI data flows, helping organizations:
- Identify sensitive data in AI training datasets before deployment; scanning vector databases within the models as well as AI application repos.
- Enable proactive remediation to prevent exposure of sensitive information
- Supporting comprehensive AI risk assessment
- Maintaining visibility into data usage across AI systems
- Strengthening AI governance with data sensitivity context
