AI initiatives are accelerating across every industry, but most organizations lack visibility into the unstructured and sensitive data feeding their AI models. As lines of business push innovation forward, security and governance leaders are left managing growing risk, compliance exposure, and shadow AI initiatives. Without a unified view of structured and unstructured data – and without security intelligence embedded directly into the catalog – organizations struggle to bring AI initiatives safely into production.

The BigID and Atlan integration bridges this gap by aligning CISOs and CDOs on a single, trusted foundation for secure, governed, AI-ready data.

“Every successful AI initiative starts with context. Atlan is the context layer for data and AI — the place where technical metadata, business meaning, and governance all come together. By bringing BigID’s DSPM risk signals directly into that context layer, we give our joint customers a single view of where sensitive data lives, how it flows, and which analytics and AI experiences depend on it — and then automate the right guardrails at scale. Together, we’re helping enterprises move faster on AI with the confidence that their data is understood, governed, and trusted end to end.” — Marc Seifert, Head of Global Alliances, Atlan
