Industry-Wide Collaboration from World’s Major Cloud Service Providers

As a founding partner with the EDM Council and other industry cloud service giants like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, IBM, and Microsoft, BigID played a crucial role in creating the CDMC Framework. This collaboration resulted in the CDMC framework, a comprehensive set of industry guidelines, standards, and best practices for supporting organizations moving their data into the cloud, multi-cloud, and hybrid-cloud ecosystems. By achieving this key certification, BigID became the first and only data security and privacy solution to architect and implement the CDMC framework.

Their team’s focus on product innovation and embrace of CDMC made it clear how their products support the goal of the framework to minimize risk, maximize cloud ROI, and accelerate the cloud journey of their clients. This experience reinforces our belief that any organization working in the cloud needs to adopt CDMC.
