BigID, a leader in data security and AI data management, has introduced Vendor AI Assessment, the first solution designed to identify and manage risks from third-party AI usage. Launched on June 16, 2025, this tool addresses the growing challenge of vendor-integrated AI, such as generative AI and large language models, which often lack transparency in data usage. By providing visibility into vendor AI practices, BigID empowers organizations to mitigate risks and ensure compliance in an AI-driven landscape.

As vendors increasingly embed generative AI and large language models into their products, organizations face significant risks related to data privacy and compliance. BigID’s Vendor AI Assessment, the first of its kind, enables security, privacy, and legal teams to gain visibility into how vendors use AI with their data. Unlike traditional tools relying on static surveys, BigID’s solution dynamically discovers deployed AI models, maps data access, and provides actionable risk intelligence. Dimitri Sirota, CEO of BigID, stated, "AI adoption is accelerating, but most organizations remain blind to how their vendors use AI on their data."
BigID’s 2025 AI Risk & Readiness Report reveals that 64% of organizations lack visibility into AI risk exposure, with nearly half having no AI-specific security controls. This highlights a critical blind spot in third-party AI governance. Vendor AI Assessment addresses this by uncovering vendor AI usage, data access, and training practices, helping organizations mitigate unwanted data exposure. The solution also equips teams to meet emerging AI regulations, with 55% of organizations currently unprepared for such demands.
The platform operationalizes AI oversight through built-in workflows for risk scoring, documentation, and remediation. This enables faster, risk-based decisions and ensures defensible governance across the vendor ecosystem. Dr. Edward Amoroso, CEO of TAG and Research Professor at NYU, noted, "BigID continues to innovate with Vendor AI Assessment. Given the rapid integration of AI in vendor offerings, businesses must demand transparency and accountability." This tool empowers organizations to hold vendors accountable for AI transparency and responsible use.
Building on BigID’s expertise in vendor management and third-party risk, Vendor AI Assessment sets a new standard for AI governance. It provides continuous visibility into AI-driven threats, ensuring organizations can proactively manage risks. The solution’s data-driven approach contrasts with outdated, survey-based methods, offering precise insights into AI usage, exposure, and regulatory readiness.
BigID’s Vendor AI Assessment positions organizations to navigate the complexities of third-party AI usage. By delivering transparency, actionable intelligence, and robust governance, BigID enables enterprises to responsibly adopt AI, reduce data exposure, and stay ahead of regulatory challenges in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
BigID empowers organizations to know their enterprise data and take action for data-centric security, privacy, compliance, AI innovation, and governance.
