BigID Discovery and Classification finds and classifies sensitive, personal, regulated, and AI-connected data across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments.
BigID Discovery and Classification scans structured and unstructured data across cloud services, SaaS applications, on-premises systems, and hybrid environments to build an inventory of sensitive, personal, regulated, proprietary, and AI-connected data. Machine learning and NLP-driven classifiers, more than 1,500 out of the box, categorize file types and the sensitive records inside them.
The offering anchors BigID's data security posture management platform, feeding context to downstream policy, remediation, compliance, and governance workflows. It is marketed to enterprise security and privacy teams replacing legacy pattern-matching classification with context-aware accuracy.
