What is Data Security Posture Management?
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is a security framework and category of tools that continuously discovers, classifies, and protects sensitive data — helping organizations identify, assess, and reduce data security risk across cloud, SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
DSPM security tools automate data discovery, classification, risk assessment, and remediation workflows, so security teams always know where sensitive data lives, who can access it, and how well it is protected. The result: continuous visibility, easier compliance with data protection regulations, and measurably lower data risk.
Most DSPM vendors identify risk. CipherTrust DSPM helps reduce it.
Most DSPM tools give organizations visibility into sensitive data risks — but security teams still struggle to act on them. A DSPM solution built for action, CipherTrust DSPM combines discovery, risk analytics, and integrated data protection to continuously reduce data exposure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Understand where your sensitive data lives
Gain a clear view of your most critical data across cloud, SaaS, on-premises, and AI environments from a single DSPM platform. Identify sensitive and regulated data, eliminate blind spots, and govern data risk with confidence.
Focus on risks that matter most
Prioritize exposures that create real business impact. Focus on the risks that matter most to reduce risk faster and prevent escalation.
Accelerate risk remediation
Close the gap between insight and action by enabling faster remediation and eliminating disconnected workflows that prolong exposure.
Detect emerging threats earlier
Identify abnormal data access and usage patterns to detect insider and external threats early and guide investigation before risks escalate.
Connect data risk to business context
Correlate data risk with identity, infrastructure, and workflows to improve prioritization and accelerate response across teams.
Deploy with flexibility and sovereignty
Support SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid models to meet regulatory, operational, and sovereignty requirements while maintaining consistent governance.
Truly understand your data and the risks surrounding it
AI is driving an explosion of sensitive and unstructured data across cloud, SaaS, on-premises, hybrid, and AI pipelines—creating massive blind spots and unmanaged risk. CipherTrust DSPM continuously discovers sensitive data, identifies hidden exposure and risky access, and turns visibility into action with prioritized remediation to reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and protect critical data everywhere.
Discover
Identify sensitive data everywhere
Continuously discover, classify, and track sensitive structured and unstructured data to eliminate blind spots and gain real-time visibility across cloud, SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Identify hidden exposure, prioritize the risks that matter most, accelerate remediation, strengthen compliance, and protect critical data with confidence at enterprise scale.
Analyze
Assess and prioritize exposure risk
Continuously monitor data access and usage to rapidly detect unauthorized activity, insider threats, excessive permissions, and policy violations before they become breaches. Enforce least-privilege access through entitlement management, vulnerability analysis, and misconfiguration assessments to proactively reduce risk, minimize exposure, and strengthen security across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Protect
Reduce exposure with integrated data protection
Apply integrated encryption, tokenization, masking, and centralized key management to reduce sensitive data exposure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Go beyond posture management with built-in cryptographic remediation, targeted remediation guidance, and guided resolution to proactively reduce risk and protect critical data at scale.
Control
Govern data without compromising sovereignty
Deploy across SaaS, on-premises, or hybrid environments to maintain consistent control of sensitive data while aligning with operational, regulatory, and data sovereignty requirements. Eliminate one-size-fits-all deployment limitations and enforce centralized visibility, protection, and policy control across the entire data estate.

We think Thales DSPM is a strong option for organizations that need a single platform covering discovery, classification, and native data protection without stitching together multiple vendors. The case is particularly strong for regulated industries and organizations with on-premise or hybrid infrastructure, where cloud-native DSPM tools often fall short.”
