BigID has been declared the winner of Intuit’s highly competitive Data Classification Challenge, where 20 vendors from the U.S. and Israel competed to showcase their AI-powered solutions. Intuit compared the participants’ ability to rapidly and accurately identify sensitive data within massive datasets, ultimately recognizing BigID for its unmatched performance in accuracy, speed, and precision.

A Head-to-Head Data Classification Challenge

The challenge, hosted by Intuit for Startups, aimed to find the best data classification solutions to help protect sensitive data. Each vendor was tasked with classifying a synthetic dataset of more than 40,000 records, with half provided for training and half for evaluation. BigID excelled in this task, delivering a near-perfect accuracy rate that surpassed every other competitor. Its solution achieved a remarkable weighted precision/recall score of 96.5%, cementing its place as the clear leader in the challenge.

Intuit’s security team used precision and recall calculations across various data types to evaluate the solutions, along with a global, cross-label assessment.
