Protect Subscriber Data. Secure the Connected Network.

BigID helps telecommunications providers discover, classify, secure, govern, and manage sensitive subscriber, billing, usage, network, operational, employee, and AI data across OSS/BSS, cloud, SaaS, analytics, partner, and hybrid environments.

Connect data sensitivity with identity, access, activity, ownership, lineage, policy, location, and AI usage to reduce exposure, modernize securely, automate compliance, and protect customer trust.

The Telecommunications Data Challenge

Every Connection Creates Data. Every Data Path Creates Risk.

Telecom providers generate and process enormous volumes of subscriber, billing, network, usage, device, location, operational, support, partner, and analytics data across OSS/BSS, cloud infrastructure, data platforms, customer channels, and emerging AI systems.

Distributed

Subscriber & Network Data

PII, CPNI, billing, call metadata, SIM, device, location, usage, and operational data span legacy and modern environments.

โ†’
Interconnected

Access & Ecosystems

Employees, call centers, retail teams, applications, vendors, MVNOs, service accounts, and AI create complex access paths.

โ†’
Exposed

Data Risk

Excessive access, stale data, risky sharing, misconfigurations, legacy copies, credentials, and AI use can increase exposure.

โ†’
Business Impact

Trust & Service Resilience

Exposure can increase breach impact, regulatory risk, operational cost, modernization complexity, and risk to subscriber trust.

Where Telecom Data Risk Hides

Network Visibility Is Not Data Risk Visibility.

Telecom operators have deep visibility into network performance and infrastructure. The harder question is where sensitive subscriber and operational data has spread, who or what can reach it, and which exposure creates meaningful business risk.

Data Copies

Subscriber Data Escapes Core Systems

Billing exports, support records, logs, analytics datasets, spreadsheets, call-center files, test environments, and cloud copies can persist outside primary OSS/BSS systems.

Identity Risk

Machine Access Can Be Harder to See

Applications, integrations, APIs, service accounts, network automation, and AI can retain powerful access even when no employee is actively using those permissions.

Ecosystem Risk

Partners Extend the Data Boundary

Roaming partners, MVNOs, cloud providers, vendors, outsourcers, retail channels, and shared infrastructure can extend sensitive data beyond traditional organizational boundaries.

AI Risk

Approved AI Can Still Reach Restricted Data

Network optimization, predictive maintenance, customer service copilots, and AI agents can inherit access to subscriber or operational information that was never intended for AI use.

Connected Telecom Data Intelligence

Understand Telecom Risk From the Data Out.

BigID connects sensitive subscriber and operational data with identity, permissions, activity, ownership, lineage, location, policy, AI usage, and remediation so teams can understand risk in context instead of investigating isolated signals.
