Too Much Data, Too Little Control

Imagine a fast-growing tech company moving more of its operations to the cloud. Data pours in from every direction—customer transactions, employee records, and sensitive financial information. The company soon faces a critical challenge: it lacks visibility into what data they have, where it’s stored, and how to effectively protect it.

Without complete and continuous data visibility, security gaps emerge. A misconfigured storage bucket leaves customer data exposed. Compliance audits become a nightmare. Costs surge as redundant and obsolete data pile up in cloud storage.

This isn’t an isolated problem—organizations across industries struggle with cloud data sprawl, security enforcement, and compliance demands. That’s where BigID and Google Cloud step in, delivering data security, privacy, governance, and compliance to the cloud.

Finding the Needle in the Digital Haystack

The first step to controlling cloud data chaos is knowing what’s out there. Traditional data discovery tools struggle to keep up with the scale and complexity of modern cloud environments.

BigID’s AI-driven discovery and classification connects seamlessly with Google Cloud services – BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Google Drive, Gmail, and more – to map out exactly what data exists and where it’s stored.

  • Identify sensitive data automatically (PII, PHI, financial records, intellectual property, and more!)
  • Classify, flag, tab, and label unstructured and structured data across various GCP environments.
  • Assemble a unified inventory of data assets to make informed security, privacy, governance, and compliance decisions regarding your data.

This means no more flying blind – IT and security teams gain the visibility they need to take control with confidence.

Automating Data Security and Compliance

Once data is discovered, the next challenge is enforcing policies to protect sensitive information and address compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.

BigID automates policy enforcement based on security frameworks and compliance regulations across Google Cloud to help identify gaps:

Rather than scrambling to address security threats or compliance audits, organizations can proactively safeguard their cloud data with minimal manual effort.

Optimizing Cloud Data for Efficiency and Cost Savings

Not all data needs to live forever. Duplicate files, outdated records, and obsolete data drive up cloud storage costs while making data governance harder.

BigID helps organizations clean up their data environments, ensuring they store only what’s necessary:

With BigID and Google Cloud, organizations don’t just secure their data – they optimize it for smarter security, privacy, and compliance.
