BigID is a New York City-headquartered data security platform that combines Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), access governance, AI security & governance (AISPM), privacy automation, and a unified Data & AI Catalog. Founded in 2016 by Dimitri Sirota and Nimrod Vax, BigID exposes every action available in its UI through a REST API rooted at /api/v1 — covering data sources, scans, catalog, cluster analysis, DSPM cases, and DSARs — plus an App Framework for building custom apps, a connector framework (Java and REST) for new data sources, and an MCP surface for AI agents.
