Datadobi has made Data Access Governance (DAG) generally available in StorageMAP, giving organizations visibility into who has access to their unstructured data and whether that access aligns with corporate policy. DAG surfaces access permissions across fragmented unstructured data environments so administrators can detect misaligned permissions, reduce cyber exposure, and enforce governance at scale.
Permission Visibility and Security Exposure Controls
Datadobi positions DAG as the first stage of its Data Storage Management Services (DSMS) discipline, which runs from visibility through understanding, decision, and execution. The capability opened as an early access program for StorageMAP customers in February under the name Data Access Review, and Datadobi says those early access customers identified gaps in understanding which critical datasets were exposed and who could access them. The company lists three use cases for DAG: protecting sensitive data and reducing breach impact, maintaining records compliance, and managing risk through mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures.
Where DAG Fits in StorageMAP
DAG extends StorageMAP’s existing capabilities across data discovery, classification, risk assessment, lifecycle management, and AI Data Readiness, which Datadobi says together help organizations discover what data they have, align it with business value and risk requirements, and act on policy across their environments. We last covered the platform when Datadobi added orphaned data management to StorageMAP in 2022.
“Unstructured data is at the center of every major enterprise challenge right now including AI readiness, cyber resilience, cost management, and regulatory compliance. But organizations cannot address any of those challenges with data they cannot see or control,” said Michael Jack, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Datadobi. “Data Access Governance gives teams the visibility to understand who has access to what, identify where risk exists, and take action to bring their unstructured data under control.”
