Common questions about DSPM with Lightbeam
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to give Lightbeam access to my sensitive data to use the platform?
No, Lightbeam can be deployed in your own cloud environment or on-premises with no external access to any of the data. Additional all training of the Data Identity Graph model is local to your deployment and not re-used for other customers.
Our PlatformWill Lightbeam impact performance of our production systems?
Lightbeam uses vendor-approved APIs for cloud and SaaS, pulling metadata and only analyzing content when deep inspection is needed. For on-prem assets, connectors run in separate containers with configurable rate limits and schedules to minimize impact on systems.
View Our IntegrationsCan we customize risk scores to match our unique data sensitivity levels?
Yes. The risk engine lets you adjust weightings for each sensitive attribute, like card numbers or medical records, and add custom attributes critical to your business. You can also tweak scores using volume, location, or access levels. Updates apply instantly to dashboards, reports, and automated policies, keeping the metric aligned with regulatory and business priorities.
