Security teams don’t have a shortage of alerts. They have a shortage of context. When Microsoft Sentinel flags something worth investigating, the question that follows is almost always the same: what data is actually at risk here, who can reach it, and why does that matter to this specific incident?
That’s the gap BigID is closing through its ongoing work with Microsoft’s engineering teams. The result is a Sentinel integration that extends BigID’s data security posture management (DSPM) insights directly into the security operations workflows that teams already rely on, without adding a new tool to learn or a new console to check.
Key Takeaways: BigID + Microsoft Sentinel
• BigID brings sensitive data, access, exposure, and risk context directly into Microsoft Sentinel workflows.
• The integration helps security teams understand what data is actually at risk, who or what can access it, and why the finding matters.
• Microsoft Sentinel’s Codeless Connector Framework and nested API support allow BigID to deliver more detailed, context-rich records without custom middleware.
• Security teams can use BigID DSPM insights inside the Microsoft security workflows they already rely on instead of switching between separate consoles.
• The added data context helps teams distinguish high-impact sensitive data exposure from lower-risk findings so they can prioritize and respond with greater confidence.
No Middleware, No New Workflow
The integration is built on Microsoft’s Codeless Connector Framework (CCF), and it uses one of the framework’s newer capabilities: nested API support. In practice, that means BigID can ingest detailed, context-rich records through multi-step API calls rather than a single flat pull, so the risk findings that land in Sentinel carry the same depth of detail they’d have inside BigID itself.
For security teams, the practical effect is that BigID’s data context and risk findings flow natively into Sentinel. There’s no custom middleware layer to build or maintain, and no separate system to check before acting. Security teams get the information where they’re already working, in the format they already use to triage and respond.
Depth of Context Is the Differentiator
Most integrations in this space push alerts: something happened, here’s a flag. BigID pushes the data context behind the alert. That includes what the data actually is, who or what can reach it, and why it carries risk in the context of that specific finding.
That distinction matters most in the moments when a security team has to make a fast call about severity and response. An alert tells you something needs attention. Data context tells you whether it’s a sensitive customer database exposed to the public internet or a low-risk test file that happened to trip a rule. BigID’s integration is built to deliver the second kind of information, directly inside the workflow where that call gets made.

Working at the Leading Edge of Microsoft’s Platform
Nested API support within CCF is a relatively new capability on Microsoft’s side, and BigID is among the early partners building with it. That puts BigID’s engineering team in close, ongoing collaboration with Microsoft as the framework evolves, shaping how a next-generation connector capability gets used in production rather than adopting it after the fact.
Being early carries real advantages for customers: they get a more capable integration sooner, and BigID’s engineering relationship with Microsoft means the connector is built to keep pace with where the platform is headed, not just where it is today.
What This Means for Security Teams
The BigID and Microsoft Sentinel integration is available now on the Microsoft Marketplace and the Microsoft Security Store. For teams managing sensitive, regulated, and critical data across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments, it means DSPM insight arrives inside the security operations tools already in use, with the depth needed to prioritize and act with confidence.
