Data Identity Graph Whitepaper
You Don’t Just Have Sensitive Data. You Have Someone’s Data.
About the Whitepaper
Most organizations know they have sensitive data. Far fewer understand whose data it is, how it is connected, or why access exists in the first place. That blind spot is where breaches, AI oversharing, and compliance failures begin.
This whitepaper explores the Data Identity Graph, an identity-centric approach to data security that connects sensitive data to the people it represents and the access paths around it. It challenges file-first security models by putting identity and context at the center.
Inside, you will see how identity-aware context allows organizations to clearly understand whose sensitive data they hold across SaaS, cloud, and on-prem systems, who can access whose data and how that access was granted, and how to turn discovery into action by governing access, reducing AI exposure, and proving compliance with precision.
Ideal for CISOs, Security, Privacy, and Data Governance leaders who want fewer blind spots, safer AI adoption, and data protection that starts with people, not just files.
