DataHub and BigID Partner to Bring Data Classification into the Context Platform

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DataHub, the leading context platform company, today announced a new connector with BigID, the leading data security and AI governance platform, that brings BigID's data classification and sensitivity findings directly into the DataHub catalog. The connector is available now in DataHub Core, the open source project, and in DataHub Cloud, and supports joint customers as they work to govern sensitive data across increasingly complex environments.

“AI is only as trustworthy as the data it’s built on. By bringing BigID’s classification directly into DataHub, and layering data lifecycle management for remediation, we're giving data teams and the agents they deploy a clear view of what’s sensitive or regulated. That’s how enterprises move faster with AI without losing control of their data,” said Ian Williamson, SVP Alliances, BigID.

"Security teams cannot protect data they cannot find or classify, and catalog teams cannot govern data they cannot trust. This connector puts BigID's classification work directly in front of the people and the AI agents making decisions about that data, in the catalog they already use," said Swaroop Jagadish, co-founder and CEO of DataHub.

DataHub and BigID help enterprises build confidently with AI by closing the gap between knowing where sensitive data lives and governing how it gets used. BigID discovers and classifies sensitive and regulated data across an organization's structured, unstructured, and semi-structured sources. DataHub's context platform gives data teams, and the AI agents they deploy, a single place to find that data, understand it, and see who owns it.

With today's announcement, a BigID classification or sensitivity tag applied to a table or column now appears directly on the matching asset in DataHub, alongside its schema, its owner, and its description. Each classification carries a confidence level and a record of which BigID classifier produced it, so a data steward or an auditor can trace a label back to its source. The connector reads from BigID on a schedule and writes only to DataHub, adding this context without overwriting anything a steward has already curated.

This is an initial release. DataHub and BigID are continuing to work together on deeper integration between the two platforms, including exploring bidirectional sync, so that context curated in DataHub, such as ownership and business definitions, can in turn inform BigID's access policy enforcement, data access governance, and remediation workflows.
