DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) is a class of solutions for continuous detection, analysis, and mitigation of data security risks in enterprise environments (on-premises, cloud, SaaS, hybrid).
The main goal of DSPM is to give an organization a complete picture of where data is located, what kind of data it is, who has access to it, and which data poses a risk.
Key features of DSPM:
- Automatic discovery: scanning all storage locations (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) to find structured and unstructured data.
- Classification: Determines data type (personal information (PII), financial information, intellectual property, etc.) using AI and regular expressions.
- Risk and vulnerability analysis: identification of shadow data, incorrect access settings, or excessive rights.
- Compliance: real-time monitoring of compliance with standards (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS).
- Incident prioritization: assessing which data is most critical so that the security team can respond to threats first.
