As data becomes more distributed, dynamic, and difficult to manage, Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is the future of modern cybersecurity. Three independent analyst firms recently recognized BigID as a leader in DSPM and Data Security Platforms, validating our commitment to helping enterprises better discover, manage, and protect their sensitive data.
With new risks emerging daily and regulatory demands tightening, BigID empowers organizations to go beyond visibility—offering the context, intelligence, and automation needed to secure data at scale.
Why Analysts Recommend BigID
BigID earned standout recognition for its depth of functionality across the data security lifecycle—scoring a perfect 5 in six critical capabilities:
Security Posture Assessment
BigID excels at helping organizations understand and improve their data security posture by providing deep visibility into where sensitive data lives, who has access, and how it’s being used. With a perfect score in this category, BigID enables customers to uncover hidden risks, assess current gaps against ideal security baselines, and take actionable steps to strengthen posture—whether it’s revoking excessive privileges, removing stale access, or enforcing zero trust at the data layer.
Data Lineage
Analysts cited BigID’s ability to track how sensitive data flows across the enterprise—from creation to consumption—enabling better root-cause analysis, risk modeling, and compliance reporting.
Security Stack Integrations
BigID stands out for its robust interoperability across the security and IT ecosystem. Analysts highlight its comprehensive catalog of prebuilt integrations and flexible APIs, enabling seamless connection with SIEM, SOAR, XDR, ITSM, and identity platforms. This integration depth ensures that BigID fits easily into existing enterprise security stacks, maximizing the value of current investments and supporting more cohesive, automated, and scalable data protection strategies.
Regulatory Framework Readiness Reporting
BigID simplifies the complexity of regulatory compliance with out-of-the-box support for major global frameworks like GDPR, LGPD, and more. Analysts recognize BigID’s ability to automatically discover, inventory, and map personal and regulated data—by identity, residency, sensitivity, and context. Through built-in reports and dynamic dashboards, organizations gain clear visibility into their regulatory posture and receive actionable guidance to close compliance gaps, streamline audits, and stay ahead of evolving requirements.
Unified View
Analysts highlight BigID’s ability to deliver a comprehensive, unified view of sensitive and regulated data across the enterprise. By consolidating insights from disparate data sources into a single, centralized platform, BigID empowers organizations to eliminate silos, streamline decision-making, and drive consistent, data-driven strategies across security, privacy, and compliance. This single source of truth is foundational for organizations looking to modernize and mature their data security posture.
Support for On-Premises Repositories
While many DSPM solutions are cloud-only, BigID stands out for its robust hybrid and on-prem capabilities. Enterprises with legacy systems, regulated environments, or sensitive workloads on-prem can achieve full coverage—without compromise.
DSPM has emerged as a mandatory function for both security threat protection and compliance, especially in highly regulated environments. To that end, we believe that BigID Next offers highly effective, world-class support for practitioners who would like to improve their security program in this area.
