The next evolution of DSPM isn’t about finding more risks; it’s about fixing them faster.
Enterprises today are flooded with risk signals across DSPM, DAM, cloud security, and identity tools. Sensitive data is scattered across multicloud environments, SaaS apps, and on-prem systems. Identities proliferate across users, service accounts, AI agents, and workflows. And every system generates alerts – thousands of them.
The result is predictable: alert fatigue, slow investigations, and growing exposure.
Traditional DSPM tools have focused almost entirely on detection and visibility. But visibility alone doesn’t reduce risk. Security teams still need to triage alerts manually, track down data owners, and guess which actions matter most.
To move faster, organizations need a smarter way to prioritize risk and remediate with confidence. Agentic Risk Remediation serves as the next giant leap in DSPM that brings AI-driven prioritization and guided risk reduction directly into the platform.
Why Agentic Risk Remediation Matters
Security teams don’t suffer from too little data. They suffer from too much noise.
Too many alerts.
Too many findings.
Too many potential exposures.
Too many steps between seeing a risk and fixing it.
And while security teams are accountable for reducing exposure, many remediation actions must be performed by the actual data owners: the people closest to the data inside their business units.
The problem is that those owners often don’t know what to fix, why it matters, or how to do it safely.
Agentic Risk Remediation solves this by giving both security teams and data owners clear, AI-guided direction on what should be fixed — and how.
Introducing Agentic Risk Remediation
Agentic Risk Remediation adds two new layers of insight to DSPM: prioritization and guided remediation.
AI-Powered Risk Prioritization
BigID automatically ranks risky data objects based on real organizational context, including sensitivity, identity exposure, blast radius, misconfigurations, usage patterns, and business impact. The AI does the triage for you, surfacing the highest-impact risks first so teams know exactly where to focus.
AI-Guided Remediation
Once a risk is identified, BigID provides clear, actionable recommendations with an explanation of why the item is risky and what to do next. Security analysts and data owners get the context they need to act quickly and confidently.
Examples include revoking external sharing for sensitive files, quarantining high-risk datasets, or deleting unused objects containing sensitive data.
Actionability That Reduces Real Risk
Unlike traditional DSPM platforms that only surface findings, BigID lets you fix issues at the source with native controls.
Teams can revoke or reduce access, delete or mask sensitive data, quarantine files, trigger DLP or IAM policies, or delegate remediation tasks to owners with clear guidance. Workflows can be executed natively in BigID or orchestrated across the security ecosystem.
This eliminates guesswork, speeds remediation, and reduces exposure across the entire organization.
Customer Outcomes
With Agentic Risk Remediation, organizations can:
- Cut alert fatigue by focusing only on the risks that matter
- Accelerate time-to-risk reduction with AI-guided steps
- Improve operational efficiency across SecOps, Cloud Ops, and data owners
- Reduce exposure and blast radius with prioritized action
- Strengthen AI readiness by removing toxic or overexposed data
- Improve overall security posture with measurable impact
This is DSPM, designed for real-world remediation, not just visibility.
Why BigID Is Different
BigID is uniquely positioned to deliver Agentic Risk Remediation because of its core platform strengths:
- Only DSPM with agentic, AI-guided prioritization and remediation
- Industry-leading classification and deep data context
- AI-powered prioritization tailored to each customer’s environment
- Direct actionability across controls competitors don’t offer
- Flexible remediation paths across BigID, your security stack, or delegated to data owners
- Broadest hybrid and cloud coverage across structured, unstructured, SaaS, and AI datasets
BigID doesn’t just show you the problem – it helps you solve it.
The Future of DSPM
DSPM is evolving. Dashboards filled with endless findings are no longer enough. The next generation of data security demands insight plus action – knowing what to fix and fixing it fast.
With Agentic Risk Remediation, BigID is advancing DSPM beyond visibility and into true risk reduction. The fastest path to lowering exposure is knowing exactly what matters – and acting on it immediately.
