Frameworks BigID claims
Read from https://bigid.com/compliance/ on 2026-09-12. This records what the vendor states, not a certification and not an assessment.
Claims coverage
GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, EU AI Act, DORA
Does not claim
SOC 2, ISO 42001, FedRAMP, NIS2. That means the page above does not claim these, not that the product cannot handle them. Ask.
Mentioned, but not as a claim
- NIST CSF / 800-53: the compliance index lists the NIST Privacy Framework, not NIST CSF or NIST 800-53/800-171, so it does not map cleanly to this key
- ISO 27001: not listed anywhere on the compliance index despite being a common expectation for a platform of this type
Best fit for
Enterprises needing to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data across cloud, on-prem, and AI systems before privacy or security controls can be applied to it
What stands out
One of the earliest and best-funded data-discovery-and-classification platforms in the category, now positioned as the data layer underneath both privacy and AI-governance compliance
Worth knowing
G2 and Software Advice reviewers describe a platform that is not point-and-click: deployment requires integration work across the existing data stack, and reviewers flag non-intuitive navigation plus scan reliability issues in very large environments. Entry pricing is enterprise-only with no free tier or self-serve trial.
