BigID

Data security and privacy platform for discovering, classifying and managing sensitive data across the enterprise.

Visit BigID Alternatives

BigID's core is AI-powered discovery and classification of sensitive and personal data across structured databases, unstructured file stores, SaaS applications and cloud infrastructure, giving organizations a map of where regulated data actually lives rather than relying on system-by-system inventories. On top of that foundation it sells modular "bundles" spanning security (data security posture management, insider threat, zero trust) and privacy (data subject rights automation, consent tracking, data mapping for regulations like GDPR and CCPA). Retention and minimization policies can be applied based on what is discovered, and third-party risk assessment extends visibility to vendors. BigID is sold as SaaS or self-hosted/private deployment for customers with strict data-residency needs, with pricing built around which bundles a customer licenses rather than a flat per-seat model, quoted directly by sales.
