Sensitive data is everywhere: across cloud applications, SaaS platforms, endpoints, and shadow IT environments. As organizations create, store, and share more data than ever before, security teams face a growing challenge: understanding where their sensitive information lives, who has access to it, and how to protect it before attackers exploit it.
Fortra DSPM helps organizations discover, classify, and protect sensitive data across their entire environment based on sensitivity, risk, and context. By combining deep visibility with risk-based prioritization and integrated protection, Fortra enables organizations to reduce exposure, improve compliance, and strengthen overall data security posture.
Discover Sensitive Data Across Your Environment
Gain a centralized view of sensitive data across your environment, including discovered file types, external sharing activity, compliance exposure, and high-risk data identifiers.
Shine a Light on Shadow Data
Organizations can’t secure the sensitive information they can’t see.
Fortra DSPM continuously discovers sensitive data across your entire data environment, including cloud services, SaaS applications, on-network file shares, databases, and more — helping organizations uncover shadow IT, undiscovered and/or unclassified data, and the unmanaged risk they create.
With real-time discovery capabilities, security teams gain visibility into:
Where sensitive data resides
How data moves across the environment
Who has access to what data
Which data assets present the greatest risk
The deeper visibility that Fortra DSPM delivers creates the foundation for smarter, more informed security decisions and faster incident response. Leveraging our enterprise-grade AI classifiers, our solution was found to be over 95% accurate in testing, maximizing data discovery precision and consistency while minimizing false positives.
Key Benefits
Improved visibility across SaaS data stores, public cloud, on-network file shares and databases, and hybrid environments
Better understanding of data movement and usage
Faster identification of the highest-risk exposures
Reduced blind spots caused by shadow data and shadow IT
Enrich Data with Context
Identify Critical Risks and Reduce Noise
Unlike many DSPM tools that simply identify files or repositories on a surface level, Fortra DSPM automatically classifies sensitive, regulated, and business-critical data while specifically considering its context, risk profile, and importance to the organization.
This allows security teams to:
Prioritize the most critical, high-fidelity risks first
Reduce alert fatigue
Focus remediation efforts effectively
Support and ease regulatory and compliance initiatives
By understanding both the sensitivity and context of data, organizations and their users can make more informed decisions about protection and access. Moreover, this critical context allows downstream security tools like DLP to enforce policies and implement controls more effectively and accurately.
Key Benefits
Automated classification of sensitive and regulated data
Risk-based prioritization to reduce operational overload
Improved compliance readiness
More efficient remediation workflows
Hybrid DSPM for Modern Organizations

Enforce Data Protection from Endpoint to Cloud
While DSPM vendors now usually offer solutions delivering both cloud and on-network visibility, organizations may find that they are more tailored to one or the other as opposed to delivering comprehensive visibility into hybrid environments.
Fortra delivers an integrated security approach that extends protection to customer-hosted infrastructure, cloud environments, and SaaS applications — helping organizations with hybrid environments reduce friction while maintaining consistent policy enforcement.
By continuously assessing data security posture, Fortra DSPM helps organizations identify:
Misconfigurations
Excessive access rights
Shadow data
High-risk exposures
Moreover, Fortra DSPM enables accurate, consistent policy enforcement through both inherent capabilities and integrations with solutions like DLP. Using the context applied to data after discovery, our solution can then apply the proper remediation and policy enforcement actions, including blocking, masking, redaction, and more. This proactive approach enables teams to remediate risks before they become breaches.
Key Benefits
Proactive risk mitigation
Faster remediation of data exposures
Reduced time and cost of incident response
Consistent protection across the data ecosystem
