BigID and Atlan have announced an enhanced integration that creates the first combined solution to unify structured and unstructured data discovery, classification, lineage, and cataloging. This AI-ready control plane addresses a critical gap in modern data environments, where AI initiatives often proceed without full visibility into sensitive or unstructured data sources.
Many organizations face challenges as lines of business drive AI innovation while security and governance teams manage increasing risks, compliance issues, and unmanaged shadow AI projects. The lack of a unified view across data types, combined with limited security intelligence in catalogs, hinders safe scaling of AI production.
The BigID-Atlan integration aligns CISOs and CDOs on a trusted foundation. It enables secure, governed data for AI by bridging data security posture management with active metadata management.
"Every successful AI initiative starts with context. Atlan is the context layer for data and AI — the place where technical metadata, business meaning, and governance all come together. By bringing BigID's DSPM risk signals directly into that context layer, we give our joint customers a single view of where sensitive data lives, how it flows, and which analytics and AI experiences depend on it — and then automate the right guardrails at scale. Together, we're helping enterprises move faster on AI with the confidence that their data is understood, governed, and trusted end to end." — Marc Seifert, Head of Global Alliances, Atlan
Key enhancements include automated discovery and classification of structured and unstructured data using BigID, seamless ingestion of classification tags and policy alerts into Atlan's catalog, and propagation of sensitive data context across end-to-end lineage. This delivers unified visibility across the data estate and advanced policy intelligence for business users and AI stakeholders.
"AI innovation depends on trusted data," said Ian Williamson, SVP, Alliances at BigID. "By embedding BigID's deep data discovery and classification capabilities directly into Atlan's modern catalog, we're giving organizations the unified visibility and control they need to protect sensitive data while accelerating AI initiatives. Together, we're enabling security and governance teams to move from friction to alignment - and from experimentation to production."
This partnership empowers enterprises to govern AI at scale with confidence, embedding security and compliance into data workflows for faster, responsible innovation.
