DSPM uncovers hidden sensitive data, categorizes it, maps access rights, and flags potential exposure. Wiz handles graph analysis, Cyera focuses on classification depth, and BigID consolidates mapping efforts. Wiz — 8.7/10 · best access context Wiz data exposure on graph DSPM built natively onto the Wiz cloud security and vulnerability graph: sensitive data findings are directly correlated with toxic combinations of over-privileged identities, exposed network paths, and host vulnerabilities to map complete attack paths to critical assets.
BigID — 8.5/10 · best discovery reach BigID data discovery breadth The only perfect discovery score in this evaluation: delivers the deepest reach across structured databases, unstructured document stores, cloud repositories, and legacy on-premises file shares, pairing DSPM with enterprise data loss prevention software and privacy compliance frameworks.
Varonis — 8.1/10 · best access-and-activity depth Varonis data access and activity The only other perfect access-context score: backed by two decades of analyzing data access and active telemetry, Varonis offers unparalleled visibility into mapping hidden privilege paths and excessive permissions across cloud, SaaS, M365, and on-premises storage. Microsoft Purview — 7.5/10 · best M365 value Microsoft Purview data map The default standard for Microsoft-centric organizations: provides data classification, information protection labels, and posture controls across Microsoft 365, Azure, and multi-cloud datastores, bundled into Microsoft 365 E5 compliance and security suites. Mature programs encompass both.
