BigID

BigID was founded in 2016 by Dimitri Sirota and Nimrod Vax and is headquartered in New York, NY. The company builds software for data security posture management (DSPM), data privacy, and AI data governance, enabling organizations to identify and control sensitive data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

BigID's platform centers on automated data discovery and classification, covering structured and unstructured data sources including cloud storage, databases, and SaaS applications. Its product suite includes tools for privacy compliance (GDPR, CCPA), data risk management, and, more recently, governance of data used in AI model training. The company counts Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, healthcare, and technology sectors among its customers.

BigID has raised approximately $326 million in total funding across multiple rounds, including a $70 million Series D in 2021 and a $60 million round in 2022. The company has made several acquisitions to expand its capabilities, including the purchase of Privitar's data provisioning assets. As of recent reports, BigID employs between 500 and 1,000 people globally.
