Bigid

BigID was founded in 2016 by Dimitri Sirota and Nimrod Vax. The company is headquartered in New York, with an R&D center in Tel Aviv. BigID is privately held and has raised multiple funding rounds from investors including Salesforce Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners, reaching a valuation that crossed the unicorn threshold of $1 billion.

BigID's primary product is a platform for discovering, classifying, and managing sensitive and personal data across enterprise environments — spanning cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployments. The platform is designed to help organizations comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. The main buyers are privacy, security, and compliance teams at large enterprise organizations.

The BigID platform includes data discovery, automated data classification, privacy risk management, and data access governance capabilities. The company has expanded the platform through a modular Apps Marketplace, enabling organizations to add specific capabilities such as Data Retention, Data Minimization, and Consent Management on top of the core platform.

BigID's primary direct competitors in the Data Privacy and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) space include Varonis, Securiti.ai, and OneTrust. BigID is positioned as a significant player in the DSPM category, which has grown substantially as global privacy regulation has intensified.

BigID's R&D center is based in Tel Aviv. Co-founder Nimrod Vax is Israeli, and the company has built a substantial portion of its engineering team in Israel. Typical Israeli hiring focuses on software engineering, data engineering, security research, and product roles.
