Welcome to BigID.

In 2016, a simple but powerful idea sparked a quiet revolution: What if companies could manage privacy, security, and governance – starting with the data itself: not the network, not the endpoints, not the checklists… but the data?

Back then, data was exploding. Regulations were shifting. AI was on the rise. And enterprises were flying blind — unable to truly see their data, let alone understand or control it.

BigID changed that.

We pioneered a new, data-first approach. One rooted in deep intelligence — to know what data is, who it belongs to, how it’s used, and why it matters. That innovation earned BigID the top spot at the RSA Innovation Sandbox — as the first platform to connect the dots contextually across data for privacy, security, and governance alike.

And we didn’t stop there.

We built the first identity-aware discovery.
The first actionable DSPM.
The first complete Data Security Platform.
The first to deliver controls for all data — everywhere: cloud, SaaS, unstructured, pipelines, and AI.

Backed by patented tech and real research — not buzzwords — BigID delivers intelligence you can trust: from zero-config classification to smart pattern matching to AI-aware data mapping.

Our mission was never just about tech. It’s about people. About helping organizations earn trust, protect what matters, and unlock the good their data can do. It’s about empowering teams — from CISOs to CDOs — to connect the dots across data and AI, without compromise.

Now with BigID Next, we bring that same innovation into the AI era — giving every team, from CISOs to CDOs, the tools to govern AI, reduce risk, and unlock data value with clarity and control.

Because the future isn’t just about managing data — it’s about trusting it.

It all started with one BigIDea.
And we’re just getting started.
