Identify and classify sensitive data to prevent loss. Actively monitor and analyze user activities to detect suspicious behavior, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Benefit Icon 0
Discover and Classify Sensitive Data
Locate data across an organization and categorize it based on data sensitivity, data privacy, and compliance requirements. Enhance data loss prevention (DLP) by accurately tagging sensitive data, enabling more precise policy enforcement.
Benefit Icon 1
Data Risk Assessment
Identify sensitive or high-risk data, evaluate vulnerabilities, such as overexposed data or loose permissions, and strategically prioritize protective measures to support an organization’s security.
Benefit Icon 2
Remediate Data Exposure
Don't just find data—automatically fix the issues that put it at risk, such as moving assets from insecure storage to secure environments, updating access permissions, or removing sensitive content.
Benefit Icon 3
Get Visibility into Data Access
Understand exactly who has access to what, how they are getting that access, and whether they are actually using it. Optimize access controls to uphold the principle of least privilege, ensuring each user has only the data access permissions necessary for their role.
Benefit Icon 4
Monitor Activity and Detect Threats
Track and analyze interactions to detect unusual or unauthorized access, insider threats, or compromised accounts. Automatically fix conditions that put sensitive data at risk, such as revoking excessive privileges, disabling users, or modifying group memberships.
Benefit Icon 5
Make Compliance Easy
Identify, classify, and manage regulated data in line with compliance requirements to guarantee proper handling, storage, and protection of sensitive data. Implement structured processes for data privacy and governance, including periodic entitlement reviews and efficient responses to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs).
Benefit Icon 6
Manage Data throughout its Lifecycle
Identify data types and their sensitivity levels, enabling the implementation of appropriate data retention, data archiving, and data deletion policies to ensure regulatory compliance and optimize data storage.
Benefit Icon 7
Prevent Data Loss at Rest and in Motion
Content-aware protection prevents unauthorized data sharing and exfiltration through contextual scanning of emails, messaging apps, and USB devices. eDiscovery identifies sensitive data stored on endpoints for encryption or deletion, ensuring compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and more.
Benefit Icon 8
Streamline Incident Response
Enable fast root-cause analysis through historical data lineage—knowing when data was created, modified, who accessed it, and from where.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)?
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is a proactive cybersecurity approach designed to help organizations assess, manage, and enhance their data security posture. It focuses on sensitive data discovery, identifying data security vulnerabilities, and automated risk remediation. DSPM provides continuous monitoring across on-premises and cloud environments, securing structured and unstructured data while ensuring regulatory compliance.
How does Netwrix DSPM work?
Netwrix DSPM discovers data across both cloud and on-premises data stores, classifies it, and accurately tags it based on its sensitivity. This enhances existing data loss prevention (DLP) solutions and enables more precise enforcement of DLP policies. The system detects data security risks, such as misconfigurations, over-permissioned access, and anomalous data movements. Automated risk assessments prioritize the most critical threats, while remediation actions are automatically triggered to address issues, such as relocating data to secure locations, adjusting access controls, and flagging suspicious activity. Additionally, the solution integrates with other tools to ensure a seamless response to emerging risks.
Why is DSPM important for modern organizations?
With increasing data breaches, cyber threats, and insider risks, organizations need real-time visibility into their data security posture. According to recent statistics, 60% of breaches involve compromised cloud data, and 43% of insider threats go undetected for months. Additionally, with the rise of AI/LLM data exposure risks, ensuring robust data security is essential. Security teams must mitigate these risks by ensuring comprehensive, real-time insights into their data assets, proactively identifying unauthorized access, and automating risk remediation.
Does DSPM integrate with my existing security tools?
Netwrix DSPM is designed to complement and integrate seamlessly with your existing security tools. It enhances data security by providing in-depth visibility into your data, improving risk detection, and enabling automated remediation. For example, it can integrate with data loss prevention (DLP) solutions to enhance policy enforcement by tagging sensitive data more accurately. Netwrix DSPM is flexible and works alongside your current security infrastructure to provide a comprehensive data security solution.
How long does it take to deploy a DSPM solution?
Netwrix DSPM is designed for easy deployment, whether on-premises, virtual, or in the cloud. The exact deployment time can vary depending on the complexity of your environment and the volume of data, but typically, the solution can be up and running in a matter of days. Our flexible deployment options and straightforward setup process ensure minimal disruption to your operations, allowing you to quickly start protecting your sensitive data.
How does DSPM support compliance and audits?
Netwrix DSPM tool plays a crucial role in ensuring ongoing compliance with industry regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. It helps organizations by automatically identifying and classifying sensitive data, preventing its loss, tracking its movement, and ensuring it is stored and handled properly. The solution also streamlines entitlement reviews, access requests, and responses to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), ensuring that your data management practices align with regulatory requirements.
