Data security posture management (DSPM) helps organizations understand where sensitive data is exposed and how risk is distributed across the environment. Data security posture is evaluated over time to reflect changing conditions. Objectives organize risk into outcomes, and DSPM helps guide decisions before controls are configured or investigations are launched.
