Start from a neutral baseline and add what matters to you. Criteria are labeled by source — the platform baseline is architecture-neutral; buyer-contributed criteria are shown separately.
This evaluation is stored in your browser only. We cannot see it, and it is not tied to any account. Save it to a link or create an account to keep it across devices — you can export it at any time either way.
Signing up adds sharing with your team, sending this as an RFP to vendors, and private document sharing. Nothing above is taken away, and nothing here is sent anywhere until you choose to.
Strong answers state store coverage explicitly, describe the classification method (ML/LLM vs pattern) with accuracy claims, and support custom classifiers. Probe unstructured-data and SaaS coverage specifically.

Look for identity-to-data mapping with effective (not just assigned) permissions, detection of over-permissioning and stale/shadow access, and human plus non-human identities.

Evidence-backed answers name detected data-layer threats, signal sources (lineage, activity, access), concrete response actions, and customer-validated outcomes rather than marketing claims.

Neutral strengths and gaps for each vendor in this category, drawn from vendors' own public materials — included so the questions above favor no single vendor. Gaps reflect capabilities not emphasized in public materials, not rankings.

No buyer-contributed criteria yet
Verified buyers can suggest criteria (anonymized before pooling).
Strong answers state whether scanning is agentless/in-environment, explicitly whether data (or only metadata) leaves the boundary, and list connector coverage. Data-residency is a common deal-breaker.

Distinguish native remediation (the platform acts) from ticketing/workflow handoff, and look for least-privilege enforcement and policy automation across data stores.
Sources: symmetry-systems.com · concentric.ai · satoricyber.com
Look for controls on sensitive data exposed to AI tools, AI data-readiness/AI-SPM, and prompt/response DLP, with honest limits. Treat 'AI-ready' claims skeptically without specifics.

Prefer real accuracy/false-positive numbers, petabyte-scale performance evidence, and transparent cost drivers (data volume, store count) over vendor benchmarks.
Sources: bigid.com · varonis.com · sentra.io
Strong answers detail DSAR/subject-rights automation, retention and residency controls, and framework mapping, and state clearly which are native vs licensed add-ons.

Similar tension to ASM: successful discovery inherently increases the counted footprint — ask explicitly how pricing responds to a large post-onboarding jump in discovered sensitive-data volume.
Data-flow/lineage mapping is a materially more advanced capability than static at-rest discovery alone, and is important for understanding real exposure paths (e.g., sensitive data copied into a less-secure downstream system).
Look for genuine integration where DSPM's data-classification insight informs and improves DLP policy, rather than two overlapping tools each generating separate alert streams the security team must manually reconcile.
ROT identification is a distinct value proposition from pure risk detection — reducing the sensitive-data footprint itself lowers risk, and a vendor offering this shows more complete data-lifecycle thinking.
Ask for an honest per-cloud coverage breakdown; a vendor with uneven cloud coverage should disclose which environments get shallower treatment rather than implying uniform depth.
Strong answers describe a fast, specific forensic query capability with a concrete turnaround time — this is one of DSPM's highest-value use cases during an actual breach, not just a preventive posture tool.
Look for a real, customer-validated classification-accuracy figure and a feedback loop for improving it — classification errors directly undermine every downstream DSPM capability (access mapping, remediation, compliance reporting).
A DSPM tool's own findings are a valuable target (a map of exactly where an attacker should look for sensitive data) — role-based access control over the tool itself, not just over the underlying data, is a meaningful and often-overlooked security consideration.
