As cross-border data transfer rules tighten and sovereignty regulations evolve, privacy teams are on the hook to track where data lives, where it flows, and prove they’re doing it right. BigID helps privacy leaders get ahead of these rising risks with automated, AI-driven data mapping, policy enforcement, and continuous visibility across their data landscape.
BigID empowers organizations to:
- Discover, classify, and map all sensitive and personal data
- Visualize and track cross-border data flows and transfers
- Detect and address high-risk jurisdictions and at-risk data
- Enforce policies to meet localization and residency requirements
- Help address compliance with audit-ready evidence at any time
Why Data Sovereignty Is Back in the Spotlight
The volume and velocity of personal data continues to explode, spread across cloud, on-prem, SaaS, and third-party partners. At the same time, global privacy regulations are raising the bar.
Recent rulings, like the U.S. Department of Justice’s Data Security Program, place new limits on foreign access to U.S. data. But that’s just one example in a growing patchwork of regulatory mandates around the world – from GDPR to India’s DPDP to China’s PIPL.
The trend is clear: Regulators expect organizations to prove they control where data resides and how it moves.
The Risks: What’s at Stake for Privacy Teams
- Data Sovereignty Failures
- Can you pinpoint where your data is stored, processed, and accessed – and confirm it meets residency requirements?
- Are you tracking and controlling data flowing to high-risk or restricted countries?
- Can you quickly produce evidence of compliance without weeks of manual work?
How BigID Empowers Privacy Teams
BigID’s new AI-driven data mapping capabilities are built to help privacy teams solve these challenges across all regulations, not just the latest headlines.
Discover & Map All Personal Data
Scan and classify sensitive data across hundreds of cloud, SaaS, on-prem, and hybrid sources. Build dynamic, identity-aware data maps that visualize how data moves across borders and systems.
Enforce Residency & Transfer Policies
Operationalize data residency requirements by enforcing standardized labels, tags, and policies that align with global frameworks. Automatically apply controls based on location, identity, or risk.
Detect Cross-Border Risks Early
Surface high-risk transfers, restricted country flows, and policy violations—before auditors or regulators do. Get clear, contextual alerts across jurisdictions and frameworks.
Remediate & Help Address Compliance
Take immediate action with AI-powered remediation: localize, delete, block, or tokenize. Log every decision for audit-ready reporting and historical evidence of compliance.
Why This Matters for Privacy Programs
Privacy leaders are expected to do more with fewer resources—yet the regulatory pressure keeps rising.
BigID’s automation gives your team the leverage to:
- Eliminate manual audits and spreadsheets
- Maintain continuous visibility and risk alerts
- Confidently navigate evolving global data laws
- Shift from reactive compliance to proactive governance
Stay Ahead of Sovereignty Risk
Data localization and transfer laws aren’t slowing down. With BigID, privacy teams can stay ahead of the curve, reducing risk, simplifying audits, and demonstrating control.
