BigID Data Access Governance

BigID Data Access Governance is an advanced data security and least-privilege entitlement management solution designed to discover, audit, and remediate open access permissions on sensitive enterprise data stores across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. By combining deep data classification with identity entitlement analysis, BigID identifies over-permissioned users and reduces sensitive data breach risk.

The solution deploys across on-premises file shares, Microsoft SharePoint, Box, Google Drive, AWS S3, and Snowflake, connecting via agentless API connectors. Core technical capabilities encompass automated identification of sensitive datasets with open or public access, discovery of excessive permissions granted to internal users and external contractors, automated access certification workflows, and closed-loop access remediation via automated ticketing. BigID correlates the sensitivity of specific data files with the exact user identities holding read, write, or admin permissions.

Financial institutions, healthcare networks, and global enterprises deploy BigID Data Access Governance to enforce zero-trust data access policies and achieve least-privilege compliance. It integrates natively with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Jira, and ServiceNow. Common operational use cases include discovering sensitive customer PII stored in globally accessible corporate file shares, revoking excessive access rights for high-risk identity accounts, auditing external guest access across cloud collaboration tools, and generating verifiable access audit trails for regulatory compliance examinations.
