Overview

Fortra Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is a cloud-native SaaS platform designed to give organizations real-time, unified visibility into their sensitive data — no matter where it lives or moves. It automates the discovery of data across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments, classifies data based on context, and protects it with precision through integration with policy engines like DLP. By continuously monitoring data posture, DSPM helps reduce exposure, enforce security policies, and mitigate risks before they become security incidents.

Features & Capabilities

• Discovery:
  • Real‑time inventory of sensitive data across cloud and on-premise systems.
  • Agent-based and agent-less scanning of data containers.
• Classification:
  • Automated data classification to identify sensitive, regulated, or business-critical data.
  • Context-aware classification to prioritize based on risk and compliance.
  • Integration with metadata-based classification mechanisms.
• Protection:
  • Enforces security controls based on classification via Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
  • Applies DLP policies from endpoint to cloud to block or remediate risky usage.
• Risk Assessment & Monitoring:
  • Continuous monitoring of data security posture to detect misconfigurations, over‑privileged access, or “shadow data.”
  • 30‑day Data Risk Assessment to quickly assess organizational data risk.
• Integration & Ecosystem:
  • Integration with Fortra’s broader defensive security stack (DLP, CASB, etc.).
  • Policy enforcement via security and access management tools (IAM, SIEM, etc.).
• Proactive Remediation:
  • Identifies risky data access or policy violations and surfaces them for remediation.
  • Helps prioritize risk based on sensitivity and business impact.
• Compliance Support:
  • Maps data to regulatory requirements, enabling compliance via classification and monitoring.
• Operational Efficiency:
  • Reduces alert fatigue by focusing on high‑risk data.
  • Streamlines incident response through better visibility and integrated workflows.
