Supporting Compliance Monitoring with DSPM Insights

Compliance teams face increasing challenges in tracking where sensitive data resides and ensuring it is properly classified and protected. Manual methods of discovering and evaluating data are time-consuming and often miss critical exposure risks. And that’s especially true as organizations scale across cloud, SaaS and hybrid environments.

Forcepoint DSPM supports compliance monitoring by providing centralized visibility into sensitive data through automated classification and access mapping. It identifies where regulated data types like PII, PHI, and intellectual property exist, how they are being accessed and whether they are exposed beyond intended permissions.

The solution includes customizable dashboards that allow governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) teams to view classification trends, surface risks, and monitor exposure across data environments. These insights help teams validate whether policies are working as intended and identify gaps that could create regulatory concerns.

Rather than focusing on static or reactive reporting, Forcepoint DSPM provides a continuous flow of intelligence that supports ongoing compliance efforts, even as data changes over time. This helps GRC and security teams reduce blind spots and take proactive steps toward stronger data governance.

Using Risk-Based Remediation to Strengthen Data Compliance Posture

While automation can streamline discovery, classification and visibility, remediation still requires thoughtful oversight. Responding to compliance risks often depends on understanding business context and applying governance policies with nuance.

Forcepoint DSPM enables this balance by surfacing prioritized, actionable risk insights. The platform highlights issues such as:

Overexposed or publicly accessible sensitive data
Unused access permissions that violate least privilege
Policy violations based on regulatory or internal rules

Each risk finding is accompanied by detailed context that supports informed decision-making. Rather than enforcing blanket remediations, Forcepoint DSPM provides workflows for remediation to help facilitate collaboration between data owners, data security teams and legal teams. These workflows can remove public sharing permissions, or they could move a file to a quarantine location so teams can leverage further decision and action with human oversight.

This risk-based, governance-aligned approach ensures precision in response efforts without sacrificing speed. It also reduces the chance of missteps caused by over-automation, such as removing critical access or flagging false positives.
