Verified customers rate BigID 4.8 out of 5 for product capabilities, sales experience, and support, with 93% willing to recommend the platform
BigID today announced that Gartner Peer Insights™ has named BigID a Strong Performer in the 2026 “Voice of the Customer” for Data Security Posture Management (DSPM). DSPM is a category of security technology that gives organizations continuous visibility into where sensitive data lives, who can access it, and how it moves across cloud and hybrid environments, visibility that has become the foundation organizations need before they can safely govern AI agents and LLM applications with access to that same data.
The recognition is based entirely on verified reviews submitted by BigID customers on Gartner Peer Insights, a platform where enterprise buyers read firsthand accounts of how a vendor performs after deployment, not just in a sales cycle.
Quick facts: BigID’s Gartner Peer Insights ratings in the DSPM market are based on a total 31 reviews unless otherwise noted, as of March 2026
- 4.8 out of 5 overall rating
- 93% of reviewers are willing to recommend BigID
- 87% of reviewers gave BigID a full 5-star rating
- 4.8 out of 5 for Product Capabilities
- 4.8 out of 5 for Sales Experience out of 27 reviews
- 4.6 out of 5 for Deployment Experience
- 4.8 out of 5 for Support Experience
“Our customers rated the technology, but we believe they also rated how we sell to them, how we deploy with them, and how we support them once they’re live,” said Dimitri Sirota, co-founder and CEO of BigID. “When security and data leaders bring BigID in, they’re b****** on the team behind the platform, and our customers are telling the market that bet pays off.”

“DSPM was never the end goal, it was always the groundwork,” said Nimrod Vax, Chief Product Officer of BigID. “Once you know where your sensitive data lives and who can touch it, you have what you need to actually govern the AI agents and copilots that are now reading, writing, and acting on that same data. That’s the thinking behind our agentic control plane, and this recognition tells us the DSPM foundation underneath it is solid.”
Momentum Behind the Recognition
The Gartner Peer Insights distinction lands during a period of active investment in BigID’s DSPM and AI governance capabilities. In recent months, BigID has:
- Launched AskBigID™ GPT, a natural language interface that lets security and data teams query their DSPM findings directly instead of navigating dashboards
- Extended its data discovery and classification engine to cover Markdown and AI instruction files, closing a blind spot created by AI-assisted coding tools
- Introduced Agentic Access Governance and Integrated Employee AI Governance, extending BigID’s data control plane to manage what AI agents and employees can access, and what they do once they have it
- Connected data discovery and classification to real-time controls over how AI systems use sensitive data, giving customers one platform, the Agentic Control Plane for Responsible AI, to see and govern data and AI risk
What Is Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)?
DSPM is a security discipline focused on discovering, classifying, and monitoring sensitive data across an organization’s cloud, on-premises, and SaaS environments. Rather than securing infrastructure or endpoints, DSPM tools answer three questions continuously: where sensitive data lives, who or what can access it, and whether that access and movement complies with policy. Gartner Peer Insight™ “Voice of the Customer” reports aggregate verified end-user reviews to help security and data leaders evaluate DSPM vendors based on real-world deployment experience rather than vendor claims alone.
Why DSPM Matters for AI Risk Management
As organizations connect AI agents and large language models to internal systems, those agents inherit whatever access to sensitive data their underlying accounts have. Without DSPM, most organizations do not know where that sensitive data sits or which agents and identities can reach it, which makes it impossible to govern AI risk with any precision. BigID positions DSPM as the data layer of what it calls an agentic control plane: a system for discovering sensitive data, understanding who and what can access it, and enforcing controls over how AI agents use it, all from the same platform.
