Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to help you out
What is Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)?
DSPM is a modern approach to data security that continuously discovers, classifies, and monitors sensitive data across cloud and hybrid environments. It helps organisations understand where their critical data lives, who has access, and how it aligns with security policies and compliance requirements.
How is Hive different from traditional data security tools?
Hive is designed to eliminate the need for slow, expensive audits. Our solution can discover and classify enterprise data in minutes, not months. With a natural language interface and policy-aware scanning, Hive empowers security leaders to act quickly, align security with strategy, and stay ahead of risks in real time.
What types of data can Hive discover and classify?
Hive can scan structured and unstructured data across databases, cloud storage (e.g., S3, GCS), file shares, and SaaS applications. It identifies sensitive data such as PII, PHI, financial records, intellectual property, and more—based on content and context.
Where is the data scanned? Is our data ever sent to your servers?
Hive is built with privacy and control in mind. Data scanning can be performed in your environment via lightweight agents or connectors. Sensitive data is never exfiltrated; only metadata and risk insights are transmitted to our dashboard.
Does Hive support compliance with frameworks like NIST or ISO 27001?
Yes. Hive maps data discovery and classification results to compliance frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and ACSC Essential Eight. Our reports and alerts help streamline audits and demonstrate control effectiveness.
How does Hive integrate with our existing tech stack?
Hive offers flexible integrations with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), SIEM/SOAR tools, identity providers (Okta, Azure AD), and ticketing systems like Jira or ServiceNow. Our open API also allows custom integrations.
Can we try Hive before purchasing?
Yes. We offer a no-cost pilot program for qualified enterprise customers. During this pilot, you’ll see real data discovery in your environment and receive a security posture report tailored to your needs.
Who typically uses Hive inside an organisation?
Hive is used by CISOs, Security Architects, Compliance Officers, and Data Governance teams. Our natural language interface also enables business stakeholders to ask security questions without deep technical knowledge.
Is Hive suitable for on-premise or hybrid environments?
Absolutely. While Hive is cloud-native, it can also scan data stored on-premise or in hybrid environments using secure, configurable deployment options.
How does Hive help during a security incident?
Hive provides instant visibility into the type and location of affected data, enabling faster response and root-cause analysis. Our system enriches incident response with contextual data exposure maps, helping you meet reporting obligations and reduce impact.
