BigID Redefines Data Classification with First-Ever AI-Powered Prompt Engine

BigID empowers security, privacy, and governance teams to classify data faster and more accurately using natural language prompts

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BigID, the leading platform for data security, privacy, compliance, and AI data management, today introduced Prompt-Based Classification, the industry's first natural language interface for data discovery and classification. With this launch, BigID is replacing rigid rule-based systems with an AI-powered engine that lets users describe what they're looking for in plain English, then automatically finds and classifies the data.

Traditional classification tools rely on technical rules, brittle pattern libraries, and complex setups, making them inaccessible to non-technical teams. BigID's Prompt-Based Classification changes that by enabling anyone to define sensitive data in free-text, paste in regulatory language, or articulate AI policy requirements, while BigID handles the rest with contextual, scalable classification with improved accuracy.

Key Takeaways

• Use natural language to classify data - no rules, regular expression (regex), or templates required
• Apply AI-powered prompts across structured and unstructured environments
• Interpret regulatory or policy language to auto-generate classification logic
• Reduce false positives with context-aware intelligence that understands use case and risk
• Scale discovery across cloud, SaaS, data lakes, and files without manual rule creation

"Security and compliance teams need better tools that do more with less," said Dimitri Sirota, CEO and Co-Founder at BigID. "With Prompt-Based Classification, we're enabling every team - from privacy to security to compliance - with a smarter, faster, and more intuitive way to find and secure sensitive data."
