BigID Launches AgentIQ: The Agentic Automation Layer for Data & AI Security and Compliance

Run Your Entire Data & AI Program From a Prompt or Agent, in BigID Claude, Copilot, GPT and Gemini

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BigID today launched AgentIQ, a fully agentic automation interface to BigID that that allows customers to operate their data security and compliance program autonomously, operationalized from a prompt or agent interface anywhere they work: inside BigID or directly from Claude, Copilot, GPT or Gemini. Customers can now write custom prompts or leverage pre-built BigID agents to retrieve, report, respond or remediate data and AI security and compliance violations.

One Request, Start to Finish

BigID AgentIQ brings full agentic controls to customers to simplify BigID operation for data and AI security / compliance.

• Ask anything about the data or AI landscape, across cloud, SaaS, on-prem, databases, files and get customer reporting back.
• Investigate data and access violations and quickly determine who and what was impacted
• Consult and Reason with your model of choice regarding industry best practices, regulatory compliance and security frameworks
• Assess Risk ranked by sensitivity, exposure, activity, and business context
• Act on it: revoke access, remediate exposure, apply retention, quarantine, enforce policy, fulfill requests
• Automate Remediation: leverage BigID agents or bring your own to fully operationalize and automate remediation actions. AgentIQ will run autonomously and continuously.

"Every data & AI program is capped by how many people you can put on it. AgentIQ removes the cap," said Dimitri Sirota, CEO and Co-founder of BigID. "You describe the outcome you want and the program delivers it: find the risk, decide what matters, act on it, prove it happened. The reason it works on BigID is context. An agent without deep data context will give you confident, wrong answers about your most sensitive data."

No Console Required

While AgentIQ is available from inside BigID, AgentIQ can also deliver BigID wherever teams already work, with no new interface to adopt and no security analyst required to run a query:

• Claude, GPT, Gemini and Copilot
• Custom enterprise agents and internal AI platforms
• BigID itself

What It Looks Like in Practice

Examples of the work AgentIQ carries end to end today, each triggered by a single request:

• "Find sensitive data exposed to the internet, rank it by business risk, and revoke public access on the top ten." The agent identifies exposure across systems, prioritizes it, fixes it on approval, and logs every action.
• "Which AI systems are touching regulated data, and which violate our policy?" The agent finds both shadow and sanctioned AI, maps the data each system consumes, and flags violations before an auditor finds them.
• "Who has access to customer PII they no longer need? Remove it." The agent investigates permissions across systems, identifies excessive and stale access, and revokes it.
• "Fulfill this data subject request everywhere this person exists." The agent carries out a privacy request across all the systems that hold a person's data and orchestrates fulfillment.

Buy. Build. Bring.

• Buy BigID's agents and deploy in minutes with no agent engineering
• Build your own on BigID's AgentIQ platform and action surface, wired to your workflows and policies
• Bring the agents from popular Ai platforms and have them work directly with BigID via BigID's secure MCP. 

"Customers were clear on two points: nobody wants another console, and nobody wants to bet their security program on a single model," said Nimrod Vax, Head of Product and Co-founder of BigID. "So we built the layer, not the destination. Whatever agent, model, or surface a customer standardizes on, BigID is the intelligence and action layer underneath it."

Guardrails, Enforced in the Stack

• Agents inherit the requesting user's permissions , enforced at the API and MCP layer rather than in a system prompt
• Every agent action is logged and attributable to a person
• Enterprise controls including password vaulting, BYOK, telemetry, and air-gap support
• No lock-in to one vendor's agent, one model, or one interface

AgentIQ spans BigID's 200+ integrations across on-prem, cloud, SaaS, and API data sources, covering data at rest, in motion, and in use. Learn more at bigid.com/agentiq.
