description: BigID is a New York City-headquartered data security platform that combines Data Security Posture Management
  (DSPM), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), access governance, AI security & governance (AISPM), privacy automation, and a unified
  Data & AI Catalog. Founded in 2016 by Dimitri Sirota and Nimrod Vax, BigID exposes every action available in its UI through
  a REST API rooted at /api/v1 — covering data sources, scans, catalog, cluster analysis, DSPM cases, and DSARs — plus an
  App Framework for building custom apps, a connector framework (Java and REST) for new data sources, and an MCP surface for
  AI agents.
