The Idea
Start With the Data
BigID was founded to give organizations a deeper understanding of what data they have, whose data it is, where it lives, how it is used, and why it matters.
Privacy, security, and governance informed by data context.

About BigID
BigID is a data intelligence platform that helps organizations discover, classify, secure, govern, and manage enterprise data and AI. BigID connects data sensitivity with identity, access, activity, lineage, ownership, policy, and business context so teams can reduce risk, automate compliance, strengthen privacy, and safely adopt AI.
The BigIDea That Changed Everything
BigID began with a simple idea: security, privacy, and governance should start with the data itselfโnot only with networks, endpoints, or compliance checklists.
The Idea
BigID was founded to give organizations a deeper understanding of what data they have, whose data it is, where it lives, how it is used, and why it matters.
Privacy, security, and governance informed by data context.
Data Intelligence
BigID introduced data discovery and classification that connected sensitive information with identity, ownership, usage, and enterprise context.
Understand what data means and who it affects.
Operationalize
BigID expanded beyond discovery to help organizations automate privacy, manage compliance, reduce excessive access, protect data, manage retention, and remediate risk.
Find risk, prioritize it, and take governed action.
The AI Era
BigID now helps organizations discover AI assets, govern the data behind AI, secure human and non-human identities, reduce AI access risk, enforce policy, and support trusted AI adoption.
Visibility, accountability, control, and evidence across data and AI.
BigID Today
BigID brings discovery, security, privacy, governance, identity context, and AI intelligence together so organizations can understand what matters and act on risk with confidence.
Know
Discover and classify structured, unstructured, cloud, SaaS, on-premises, hybrid, developer, and AI-connected data with context for sensitivity, identity, ownership, lineage, and business value.
Explore Discovery and Classification โUnderstand what data exists, where it lives, and why it matters.
Protect
Connect sensitive data to human users, machine identities, service accounts, applications, APIs, and AI agents to identify exposure, excessive access, risky activity, and toxic permission combinations.
Explore Identity Security โPrioritize the identities and permissions that expose critical data.
Automate
Automate data mapping, privacy rights, consent, assessments, retention, deletion, policy enforcement, evidence collection, and regulatory reporting from a shared data intelligence foundation.
Explore Privacy Management โReplace fragmented manual processes with governed workflows.
Govern
Discover models, agents, copilots, prompts, datasets, vector stores, pipelines, and shadow AI. Connect AI systems to sensitive data, identities, permissions, lineage, ownership, policy, and risk.
Explore AI Security and Governance โMove from AI principles to enforceable controls and evidence.
Our Mission
BigID exists to help organizations earn trust, protect sensitive information, reduce risk, and responsibly unlock the value of data and AI.
That means giving security, privacy, compliance, data, identity, and AI teams a shared intelligence layerโone that replaces disconnected findings with context, accountability, automation, and action.
Trust begins by understanding the information an organization collects, creates, shares, and uses.
Data becomes actionable when it is connected to identity, access, activity, ownership, lineage, policy, and AI.
Visibility should lead to prioritized remediation, policy enforcement, measurable control, and evidence.
