Five Fundamental Questions to Ask and Answer

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) refers to tools and practices that help organizations protect sensitive data across their infrastructure. DSPM solutions automate data discovery, classification, protection, and risk assessment, providing visibility into where sensitive data resides and who has access to it. These tools identify vulnerabilities, generate alerts, and offer remediation guidance to address data security risks. By integrating with other security systems and enabling compliance reporting, DSPM helps organizations maintain a strong data security posture and meet regulatory requirements.

DSPM goes beyond merely responding to threats, but looks at proactively fortifying your environment against existing and emerging risks. This document examines five crucial questions you should ask when deploying a DSPM solution.
