The latest Frost & Sullivan report on Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) has recognised our partner Securiti as a leader in this rapidly growing field. As organisations face an increasingly complex data landscape, the need for a robust approach to managing data and data security has never been more critical. Here's why companies should act now and what DSPM entails.
What is DSPM?
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is an emerging category of solutions designed to help organisations manage, monitor, and improve their data management and security posture across diverse environments, whether on-premises, in the cloud, hybrid setups or SaaS products. DSPM tools focus on automating the detection of specific data and risks, ensuring compliance, and providing real-time visibility into where sensitive data resides, how it’s used, and who has access to it. Solutions also expand into other areas such as AI, privacy automation, assessments and IT or third party risk management allowing organisations to link these activities to the actual data held within its systems.
Key components of DSPM include:
Data Discovery & Classification – Identifying personal information, sensitive and high-risk data, regardless of where it resides.
Risk Assessment & Compliance – Continuously evaluating data security posture, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards like Australian Privacy Act, GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.
Access Control & Monitoring – Managing who can access data and monitoring for unauthorized activity or threats.
Data Protection & Remediation – Applying protective measures and remediating vulnerabilities or misconfigurations in real-time.
Privacy Automation – Automating aspects of privacy management such as Consent, DSAR and PIAs.
Why Act Now?
Data Growth and Complexity: With data continuing to grow at an exponential rate, managing data effectively including its security manually is no longer feasible. DSPM offers automation and intelligence to help organizations scale their data management capabilities and focus their data protection efforts where the most sensitive data is held.
Evolving Threat Landscape: Cyber threats, including ransomware and insider threats, are becoming more sophisticated. DSPM solutions help identify data that is attractive to threat actors and associated vulnerabilities early to minimise data holding and mitigate potential breaches before they occur.
Regulatory Compliance: Governments and regulators are tightening data protection laws. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines and reputational damage. In Australia the Privacy Commissioner expects organisations to take reasonable steps to protect personal information starting with knowing what you are holding and if its adequately protected. DSPM solution enhance these capabilities to improve ongoing compliance and reducing the risk of violations.
Operational Efficiency: By automating key data management and security tasks like data discovery, risk assessments, privacy automation and access control, DSPM not only improves security but also increases operational efficiency and reduces overhead. Immediate benefits can be deleting data that is no longer of any value to reduce risk and the cost of storage.
