Siberson Data Security Posture Management combines sensitive-data discovery and classification with DLP enforcement and file-integrity monitoring across an organization’s data estate. Its Data Discovery scans structured databases and unstructured sources, including file shares, endpoints, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace. The Enterprise edition includes international and Turkish personal-data patterns such as TCKN, IBAN, VKN, SGK, and GİB. Risk scoring and a posture dashboard help teams prioritize remediation by sensitivity, exposure, and location. Findings can be masked, quarantined, encrypted with AES-256, or securely deleted through an approval workflow, with actions recorded as audit evidence. Scanning controls include row limits, segmented processing, thread counts, memory, and bandwidth. Documented integrations include databases, Microsoft and Google services, SIEM, and a web service API. Data Discovery can be deployed on-premises or as SaaS; its Windows agent can scan macOS and Linux agentlessly over the network. Siberson says it holds six ISO certifications, including ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701. Pricing is on request and licensed per terabyte of data.
