06Sourced 2025-2026 signals
What's new at Securiti (2025-2026, sourced)
These sourced updates were researched on 2026-07-05 and are listed separately from the live comparison table so existing profile claims remain unchanged.
Veeam completed its acquisition of Securiti AI on December 11, 2025 for approximately $1.725 billion; Securiti founder and CEO Rehan Jalil moved into a new role as Veeam's President of Security and AI, and roughly 600 Securiti employees joined Veeam. This gives harder, dated specifics than the existing FAQ's more general acquisition framing.
In February 2026, Veeam launched 'Agent Commander,' described as the first product resulting from the Securiti acquisition, aimed at detecting AI agent risk, protecting AI systems, and rolling back AI mistakes -- an early, concrete signal of post-acquisition product integration (as opposed to the 'roadmap uncertain' framing implied by the existing FAQ).
Securiti's own Security & Compliance page states the platform itself (not just underlying cloud infrastructure) holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and ISO 27701:2019 certifications. This is a vendor-stated fact not currently mentioned anywhere in the existing profile or capability table.
On G2, Securiti carries a 4.7-out-of-5 rating from 92 reviews, with users citing ease of use and responsive support as strengths, and (independently) a steep learning curve for new features and UI/scaling friction during large enterprise rollouts (e.g. manual per-connector setup for bulk cloud-data onboarding) as limitations. This corroborates, with a specific rating and review count, the existing FAQ's unsourced claim of a 'steep learning curve.'
Securiti markets a distinct product, Gencore AI (launched October 2024, still actively promoted including at NVIDIA GTC 2025), for building enterprise GenAI systems, copilots and AI agents on top of Securiti's Data+AI Command Center and Knowledge Graph, with NVIDIA NIM microservice integration. This is an AI-system-building/enablement capability, not just AI governance/monitoring, and is not distinguished from the generic 'AI governance' row in the existing capability table.
07Sourced 2025-2026 signals
What's new at BigID (2025-2026, sourced)
These sourced updates were researched on 2026-07-05 and are listed separately from the live comparison table so existing profile claims remain unchanged.
BigID achieved FedRAMP Authorized status in March 2026 through a partnership with Knox Systems, extending its platform to U.S. federal, defense and intelligence agencies; BigID also states it supports NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, FISMA, EO 14028, OMB guidance and the DoD Zero Trust Framework. This is not among the certifications currently listed in the FAQ (SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, SOC 3, PCI DSS, FIPS 140-2, CSA STAR).
BigID was named a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Privacy Management Software, Q4 2025 (published December 2, 2025), with BigID stating it achieved the highest score of all vendors evaluated across 19 criteria and that reviewers cited 'best-in-class capabilities in personal data discovery, dynamic privacy risk assessment, and AI risk assessment.' This is a more specific, dated analyst credential than the general 'Forrester Leader in data discovery' reference currently in the profile.
BigID relaunched its core product as 'BigID Next' on February 24, 2025, describing it (in vendor marketing language) as its 'next-gen AI-powered' data security, compliance and privacy platform with a modular architecture, prompt-based classification and agentic AI assistants. Any future copy referencing 'BigID' as a single monolithic product name should account for this rebrand/relaunch to BigID Next.
BigID acquired Argentine cookie-consent startup illow (announced January 31, 2025) and used it to launch 'BigID CMP Express' on November 18, 2025 - a standalone, self-service cookie/consent management product with a 2-minute signup, AI-powered cookie classification, Global Privacy Control (GPC) support, and (per vendor marketing) 'transparent pricing without vendor lock-in.' This gives concrete, sourced evidence behind the existing table's 'Cookie/tracker scanning: Y' entry for BigID.
On March 30, 2026, BigID announced a unified privacy management capability combining personal data discovery, data-rights/DSAR automation, consent enforcement and AI privacy governance in one system, with vendor marketing claiming automation of workflows across '100+ regulations' including GDPR and CPRA; CEO Dimitri Sirota was quoted framing the shift as 'Privacy used to be about policy. Now it has to be about data.' This is a positioning statement worth noting if BigID's data-centric (versus workflow-centric) privacy pitch is referenced.
08Overlap and gaps
Securiti vs BigID: what the public data actually shows
Feature count is only a starting point. A customer should separate shared coverage from unique public signals, then test whether the vendor can run the required workflow end to end.
| Decision point | Public signal | Buyer interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Shared evidenced coverage | DPIA/PIA assessments; RoPA / Article 30; DSAR / privacy rights; Data mapping; Vendor risk; Privacy risk; AI governance; plus 8 more | If your requirement sits here, compare workflow depth, implementation effort, evidence quality and price. |
| Only Securiti publicly confirmed | Breach/incident management; Policy/notice management | Keep Securiti on the shortlist for these requirements, but ask BigID whether the same capability exists in current product scope. |
| Only BigID publicly confirmed | BigID has no unique tracked public capability against Securiti in this dataset. | Keep BigID on the shortlist for these requirements, but ask Securiti whether the same capability exists in current product scope. |
| Acompli reference column | Spreadsheet import | Use this as a third reference point where a narrower evidence-first privacy workflow may be preferable to a broader platform. |

11Customer due diligence
Questions customers should ask before choosing Securiti or BigID
A useful comparison should move beyond a product page checklist. Customers should ask each supplier to prove the same live workflow, with the same assumptions, so the difference between platform breadth and usable evidence becomes visible.
Run one real workflow
Ask Securiti and BigID to process the same example: new activity, assessment, RoPA update, supplier evidence, risk record, review and export.
Check evidence provenance
Confirm whether each important field in Securiti and BigID has a source, owner, review date and change history, not just a completed form.
Validate exports
Ask both vendors for a regulator-readable export for one legal entity, including controller and processor records where relevant.
Confirm commercial scope
Verify which modules, integrations, service hours, data residency options and support commitments are included in the quoted Securiti or BigID package.
12Shortlisting notes
Choosing between Securiti and BigID
Weigh Securiti and BigID on the workflow you must run end to end - RoPA, DPIA, vendor and risk records - and on how defensibly each one exports what it holds.
- Shortlist Securiti when data security, discovery, consent, breach and AI controls are part of the same enterprise requirement.
- Shortlist BigID when data discovery, classification and data security at scale across a complex data estate are the central requirement.
- Put the same case to Securiti and BigID: take one processing activity through its assessment, the RoPA update, supplier evidence, the privacy risk and a defensible export, and watch where each needs manual work.
13Ireland & UK
Securiti vs BigID: Article 30 records for Irish and UK teams
Both Securiti and BigID are weighed by Irish and UK privacy teams against the same fixed obligation: a record of processing activities under GDPR Article 30 - a controller record under Article 30(1) and a separate processor record under Article 30(2). In Ireland the Data Protection Commission (DPC) publishes Article 30 guidance; in the UK the ICO sets out what UK GDPR requires.
Whichever of Securiti or BigID an Irish or UK team weighs, the questions are the same: how deep is the Article 30 record, is EU and UK GDPR distinguished on one register, and can each legal entity produce a self-contained export its own supervisory authority can read?
| Article 30 check | Securiti | BigID | Why customers care |
|---|---|---|---|
| Controller record | Ask Securiti to show the Article 30(1) controller fields for one processing activity, including purposes, categories, recipients, transfers, retention and security measures. | Ask BigID to show the Article 30(1) controller fields for one processing activity, including purposes, categories, recipients, transfers, retention and security measures. | A controller record must stand on its own when a regulator or auditor asks for it. |
| Processor record | Ask Securiti to show Article 30(2) processor records separately from controller records, scoped to the controller on whose behalf processing is carried out. | Ask BigID to show Article 30(2) processor records separately from controller records, scoped to the controller on whose behalf processing is carried out. | Many tools capture controller records more clearly than processor records; customers should verify both. |
| Ireland and UK fit | Ask Securiti how EU GDPR and UK GDPR records are separated or tagged for Irish and UK entities. | Ask BigID how EU GDPR and UK GDPR records are separated or tagged for Irish and UK entities. | Irish DPC and UK ICO expectations are close, but entity scope, local law references and export format still matter. |
| Standalone export | Ask Securiti for a complete export that a legal entity could provide without giving the regulator product access. | Ask BigID for a complete export that a legal entity could provide without giving the regulator product access. | A defensible record should be readable outside the platform, with enough context to explain the processing activity. |
- Article 30(1) and 30(2) - does each of Securiti and BigID model controller and processor records separately, scoped by legal entity?
- EU and UK GDPR - can Securiti or BigID hold both on one register, mapped to what the DPC and ICO expect?
- Export - does Securiti or BigID let each legal entity produce a stand-alone record its supervisory authority can read without platform access?
