Fortanix Inc., a global leader in data security for the AI era, has announced a new integration with BigID, the pioneer in data security, privacy, compliance, and AI governance. The collaboration connects Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) with BigID’s discovery and classification platform to automate protection workflows as soon as sensitive data is identified—removing the need for manual intervention while maintaining full auditability.

The joint solution bridges the long-standing gap between data discovery and protection. By combining BigID’s ability to locate and classify personal, financial, health, and proprietary information with Fortanix’s advanced encryption and tokenization services, enterprises can now achieve end-to-end security in a unified workflow.

Addressing Fragmented Data Security Challenges

Organizations today grapple with sensitive data spread across on-premises, multi-cloud, SaaS, and hybrid infrastructures. With regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS demanding stringent data controls, businesses must not only know where sensitive data resides but also protect it instantly. Existing ecosystems often rely on disconnected tools, leaving a critical gap between discovery and encryption, which increases risks, operational complexity, and compliance challenges.

The Fortanix–BigID integration closes this gap. Once deployed, BigID’s PII classifiers automatically map to Fortanix DSM’s security objects, triggering encryption or tokenization through Fortanix APIs based on pre-defined policies. This ensures that sensitive data is safeguarded at the moment of classification—reducing delays, minimizing exposure, and enabling faster compliance.

Executive Perspectives

“Most enterprises operate with siloed tools that separately manage discovery, classification, encryption, and access control, without seamless interaction,” said Anuj Jaiswal, Chief Product Officer at Fortanix. “By integrating BigID with our encryption and tokenization services, we eliminate the manual handoffs and deliver a comprehensive, automated approach to sensitive data protection.”

Nimrod Vax, Co-founder and CPO at BigID, added: “Organizations don’t just need discovery and classification—they need integrated protection. Partnering with Fortanix brings advanced encryption and format-preserving tokenization into the same ecosystem. This makes data safer for analytics, AI, and day-to-day operations while accelerating compliance.”

Benefits for Joint Customers

Enterprises leveraging the integration can expect:

  • Automated Protection – Streamlined workflow from discovery to encryption, eliminating manual steps and closing security gaps.
  • Accelerated Compliance – Apply consistent tokenization policies aligned with regulations like GDPR and CCPA, reducing breach risks through automated remediation.
  • Data Utility with Security – Maintain the usability of protected data for analytics, testing, and development with Fortanix’s format-preserving tokenization.

This partnership equips organizations with a unified, automated, and scalable approach to data protection—helping them reduce risk, comply faster, and unlock more value from their sensitive data in an AI-driven world.
