BigID gives organizations deep visibility and control over cross-border data risks
BigID, the leading platform for data privacy, security, compliance, and AI governance, announced new AI-powered capabilities that enable organizations to automatically discover and classify sensitive data, detect cross-border data transfer risks, and proactively remediate compliance gaps before they become violations.
With new and evolving regulations, from the EU’s GDPR andย Brazil’sย LGPD to emerging U.S. cross-border data restrictions, organizations need to know exactly where sensitive data lives and how it moves. BigID’s data mapping enables teams to discover and map sensitive data, identify cross-border transfers, help enforce residency policies, and proactively close compliance gaps across every regulation.
