A platform category that discovers, classifies, and monitors sensitive data across cloud environments, SaaS applications, and data stores. DSPM automatically finds where sensitive data lives, who has access, how it flows between systems, and whether it is adequately protected. It addresses the challenge that organizations often do not know where all their sensitive data resides in complex cloud architectures.
You cannot protect data you cannot find. DSPM gives security teams visibility into data sprawl across multi-cloud environments. Security engineers deploy DSPM to discover unprotected sensitive data. GRC analysts use DSPM findings for compliance reporting (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA). This category is growing rapidly as data protection regulations tighten.
