In today's complex, multi-cloud environments, achieving a unified view of data security posture is a significant challenge for enterprises. To address this, BigID, a leader in data security and AI governance, has announced a new integration with Microsoft Purview. This collaboration extends BigID's advanced, AI-driven data discovery and classification insights directly into Microsoft Purview Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), providing customers with enriched, contextual risk intelligence across their entire data landscape.
BigID integrates its AI-driven data discovery with Microsoft Purview DSPM.
The integration enriches Purview with BigID's classification and risk metadata.
It extends coverage to data in Databricks and other modern platforms.
Organizations gain a unified view of data posture across hybrid and multi-cloud.
Risk prioritization is improved by combining sensitivity, access, and identity context.
Signals are sent via the Microsoft Sentinel data lake for a seamless experience.
The integration, unveiled at Microsoft Ignite, is designed to eliminate blind spots in an organization's data security strategy. By routing BigID's deep data discovery signals through the Microsoft Sentinel data lake into Purview DSPM, customers can now gain a consolidated view of sensitive data, access patterns, and security posture. This unified insight spans Microsoft 365, Azure, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and crucially, extends to external signals from platforms like Databricks, providing comprehensive coverage across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
"Enterprises need more than isolated point solutions. They need integrated, enterprise-scale data intelligence that aligns with their existing platforms," said Ian Williamson, SVP of Alliances at BigID. "By integrating BigID's signals into Microsoft Purview through the Microsoft Sentinel data lake, we're empowering organizations to eliminate blind spots, strengthen data security posture and simplify operations—all while staying firmly inside the Microsoft ecosystem."
Beyond unified visibility, the integration enables more effective risk management. By enriching Microsoft Purview with BigID's contextual risk metadata—which combines data sensitivity, access rights, and identity context—security teams can move from simply identifying sensitive data to prioritizing and acting on the most critical exposures. This allows organizations to focus their efforts on the data assets that represent the highest business risk.
This announcement marks an evolution in the ongoing partnership between BigID and Microsoft, reflecting a shared commitment to helping customers modernize their data protection strategies. The integration allows organizations to leverage best-in-class data intelligence without departing from their native Microsoft security investments.
"Our collaboration with BigID reflects our shared commitment to helping customers strengthen their data security posture," said Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Security. "By integrating BigID's data intelligence into Microsoft Purview DSPM through the Microsoft Sentinel Data Lake, organizations can gain unified visibility and deeper context across their data estate while continuing to build on their natively integrated Microsoft investments."
The BigID and Microsoft Purview integration represents a significant step toward consolidated and intelligent data security management. By bridging specialized data intelligence with a platform-native DSPM experience, it provides enterprises with the deep, actionable context needed to confidently secure their data across an increasingly fragmented digital estate.
