Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) - Quick Notes

Compliance with security requirements is now more important than ever -- that means you should have a well implemented Data Security Posture Management Plan in place and operational! For those working in the DIB, CMMC accreditation has been made a federal requirement for the proposal bid process, contract and task order management, and participation in the federal supply chain. Here are some best practices to consider and what's on the horizon for DSPM.

🚀 DSPM Done Smart: Best Practices

From what we’ve built at Gold Comet and seen in the wild, here’s what works best:

• 🔍 Comprehensive assessments — identify data risks upfront.

• 🔐 Privilege control — not everyone needs admin access.

• ⚡ Continuous threat detection — catch problems before they become disasters.

• 🚫 Zero trust mindset — verify every user, every time.

• 🔒 Encryption everywhere — on devices, in transit, in the cloud.

• 📚 Team training — if your people know, your posture gets stronger.

• 🔄 Incident response plans — test them regularly, don’t just file them away.

🌱 What’s Next in DSPM?

Expect to see:

• AI-driven risk insights that spotlight emerging threats.

• Automation across workflows for faster resolution.

• Cloud-native DSPM tools built right into platforms.

• Zero trust as default—check every access, always.

• Stricter compliance frameworks that demand real-time visibility.

The Gold Comet platform aligns with all these parameters, making DSPM a natural part of how you should securely store, share, and message your valuable data!
