Seeing the Full Picture — Even When Data Lives Everywhere
Every modern company wrestles with the same problem: data sprawls faster than teams can track it.
SaaS apps multiply, cloud storage expands, collaboration tools grow organically, and sensitive information spreads into places no one intended. Tasks get delegated. Files get copied. Buckets get created. And somewhere along the way, visibility slips.
At BigID, we felt that too.
Even as a data-intelligence platform, we still had to confront the same question our customers ask every day:
“Do we actually know where all our sensitive data lives?”
Episode 2 of Customer Zero Chronicles dives into that challenge.
In this episode, Igor, Senior Security Architect, takes you behind the scenes to show how BigID used its own platform to get a complete view of data across SaaS, cloud, and collaboration tools — not in a lab environment, but in our own live ecosystem, with all the complexity that comes with it.
What We Uncovered
Visibility isn’t just about scanning systems — it’s about finally understanding the patterns, blind spots, and risks you didn’t realize were there.
During our own discovery journey, we uncovered:
- How much sensitive data lived in unexpected places
- Wie ROT data (redundant, obsolete, trivial) quietly accumulated across systems
- Where Schattendaten sources introduced risk without any designated owner
- Wie unified discovery exposed inconsistencies across business units
- Why visibility became the starting point for Datenschutz, security, and AI governance
What’s powerful about this episode isn’t just what we found — it’s how quickly the picture came together once everything sat in one unified view.
What You’ll See (Without Spoilers)
Episode 2 gives you a look at:
- How continuous discovery reveals blind spots teams never notice manually
- How BigID links sensitive data to owners, locations, and access patterns
- How identifying ROT and shadow data instantly reduces cost and risk
- How discovery serves as the foundation for downstream remediation and governance
- How visibility strengthens collaboration between security, privacy, and IT
Think of this episode as the turning point — the moment where scattered, siloed data becomes something your teams can actually control.
