I have used BigID to scan for data discovery, data protection, analyze where the data is found, data classification, and data mapping. I integrated BigID with Microsoft Purview to expand the scope of Purview, especially for scanning Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google Drives in a multi-cloud environment.
BigId is a Data Security Posture Management and Data Loss Prevention solution that scans data systems across the enterprise for passwords, secrets, and PII information. It offers significant benefits in data discovery, privacy, and security. We primarily use it to scan structured and unstructured data across our cloud systems, which consist of 100K+ storage buckets. It is a comprehensive data intelligence platform that helps organizations discover, classify, and manage their data effectively while ensuring data privacy, compliance, and governance.
I work in an area focused on data protection. Currently, in my practice, more than five to six projects use BigID. In the client's data source, there may be sensitive information. Each country has its own data protection laws and encryption standards. We scanned every database using BigID, both structured and unstructured. After scanning, we could properly categorize the data and identify sensitive information. BigID has built-in functions that show where the data is. We sent this information to the client with suggestions for suitable encryption standards for their specific data, whether it's plain text or encrypted.
I use the solution to discover sensitive data. I use it when the company I am part of is unable to provide locations of specific data. The goal of the tool is to find data and help companies make a better decision in regards to privacy laws.
My company works with BigID since it serves as a data governance and security management tool. My company currently has a customer for BigID in the pipeline for whom we configured the product's PoC phase recently, so we are planning to close the deal in the first quarter of the upcoming year. While selling BigID to our customers, my company discovered that the product does not solve the problems of its users. The product is meant to help users with the areas related to data and data splits, and users may expect it to cover areas like data masking, data encryption, and DLP. BigID gives users visibility over where a particular data resides in their environment, like whether it is stored in the cloud, on-premises, Google Drive, or whatever other locations are there, after which the product gives its users control of the data. With BigID, users can decide what to do with their data and check whether a particular piece of data has duplicates in several places within their environment, after which users can leave just a copy of such data. In general, BigID gives the user complete control over where a particular data resides. BigID is also involved in the area of compliance. When discussing GDPR, especially EU GDPR, the product helps users remain compliant with the required type of laws since BigID understands the need to do so for the financial sector, especially for the ones that issue ATM cards, where the solution can offer help and cover. BigID does not take care of the security aspects, because of which it does not take care of areas like encryption, data masking, and DLP. What BigID can do for its users is integrate with all the solutions of its users that take care of all the security functions. BigID can help its users by offering its seamless integration capabilities with other security solutions. Considering the aforementioned details, my company has started to provide some sort of a bundled offer to our customers. When we speak with our company's customers about BigID, we also speak to them about Nutanix, which can help handle the security aspect.
I'm an implementing consulting partner for BigID. Initially, the clients used the solution for compliance with GDPR and CCPA. However, more recently, the software has evolved significantly to be useful for data governance and areas such as security posture and related aspects.

In terms of primary use cases for BigID, since I'm a data architect, I get the specific data that is necessary for the client use-case. Then I'll try and do a scan. I do a scan on them, and the scan has parameters. So I set up the scan with some assistance from the admin, and run the scan. When we get the result, it gets populated in the BigID tool. Then I'll go into the BigID tool where there are something like files, I forgot the specific name. I'll look through the files to understand them and try to bring some of them to do an analysis. I can do my analysis in Excel with the data. The way BigID is set up, it's not easy to get all the data straight. To be able to get all the data elements I have to download it somewhere since I'm not in front of the machine.
