BigID – Enabling Organizations to Know Their Enterprise Data and Take Action for Privacy, Protection, and Perspective

Organizations generate massive amounts of data every minute in today's digitalized world. The volume of data generated by large corporations grows at a pace of 40 to 60 per cent per year. It's difficult to keep, organize, use, and evaluate all data. As a result, organizations are scrambling to find methods to make this immense amount of data meaningful because we know that the value of information lies in the information itself and the actions that emerge from the knowledge. Simply storing this massive amount of data would be ineffective. Thus, businesses rely on data intelligence, analytics, and data intelligence technologies. Data Intelligence (DI) assists data experts in making better decisions. Its purpose as a system is straightforward: to make people in a company smarter about the organization and better suited to lead its growth.

BigID helps organizations get visibility and control of their regulatory, sensitive, and metadata data to automate activities in data privacy, security and governance. Every type of organization – from retail to financial services to manufacturing to technology – is now a digital enterprise, driven by data. BigID’s data intelligence platform helps organizations proactively manage, protect, and get more value from their regulated, sensitive, personal, and critical data across their data landscape. The data intelligence platform enables organizations to know their enterprise data and take action for privacy, protection, and perspective. BigID has raised over $280 million in funding since its founding in 2016 and is recognized for its data intelligence innovation as a 2019 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, named to the 2020 Forbes Cloud 100, a Business Insider 2020 AI Startup to Watch, #1 Fastest Growing Security Company on the 2021 Inc 5000, #27 on the 2021 Deloitte 500, and an RSA Innovation Sandbox winner.

Leveraging Industry-Leading Data Intelligence Solutions and Services

Cloud Migration: The journey to the cloud is in motion – even for highly regulated and risk-averse enterprises. Cloud migrations require shifting data and infrastructure to new environments like Office 365, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or AWS – and organizations face a myriad of challenges that can be not only expensive, but introduce unnecessary data challenges and risk. It’s a complex endeavor – and there’s a variety of data privacy, security, and data management considerations that need to be addressed with the right strategic planning and approach. BigID helps organizations with cloud initiatives by enabling organizations to strategically manage, monitor, and analyze their data wherever it lives, all while preparing to move their data to the cloud. Organizations can make sure they’re moving the right data to the right place – and ensure that the right controls are in place when the data lands in the cloud. With a privacy-centric approach, BigID empowers organizations to execute a successful cloud migration strategy: from a unified data inventory to data minimization to policy enforcement.

Data Classification: BigID’s data classification is purpose-built for all types of data – everywhere: from structured to unstructured; files and documents; mail and images; data at-rest and data in-motion. Leverage graph based analysis to identify related data, automatically discover dark data, and surface relationships between disparate points of sensitive, regulated, & personal data. Inventory related data and discover hidden relationships, miscategorized data, and more. Use BigID’s advanced ML for fewer false positives, improved accuracy, and faster time to value. BigID’s advanced data classification automatically finds, identifies, and classifies regulated data like PCI and HIPAA, personal data including PII and contextual PI, NPI data, credentials, passwords, and security keys, IP data, and document types. Automatically classify data according to sensitivity using predefined or customized rule sets. Take remedial actions across other apps and tools and implement policies for better data control to mitigate risk.

Data Fabric: Automatically connect to all data types including structured and unstructured data and start scanning to populate the data catalog and get a single view of your metadata. Automatically classify more types of data in more places: regular expression is just the start. Get next-gen classification with BigID that leverages not just pattern based discovery, but ML classification based on NLP and NER, AI insight based on deep learning, and patented file analysis classification. Apply AI and ML automated profiling and tagging to add context to data. The company's layer technical, business and operational metadata to see data attributes and relationships for added context and data-driven insights. Share data amongst employees in real time enabling collaboration and socialization. It has bi-directional sharing and enrichment of data from key data management and analytic applications.

Data Catalog: Discover all data across your entire ecosystem in a single data catalog. Find structured and unstructured data, in the cloud or physical database, in motion or at rest, and eliminate the challenges of hidden and siloed data. Identify sensitive and personal information, discover ungoverned assets, and identify open access to vulnerable data. Get deep insight for data governance at scale by incorporating active metadata and advanced classification. Apply AI and ML automated profiling and tagging to add context to data. Connect to all data sources and types for a complete catalog view. Quickly and easily connect data sources to start automated scanning to populate the catalog – and get a single catalog for all your data, everywhere.
