SailPoint Data Access Security (DAS) is an add-on within SailPoint Identity Security Cloud designed to extend identity governance into data access governance, with particular emphasis on unstructured data in common collaboration and storage systems. Core functions include discovery, classification and labeling of sensitive data, incorporating data context into identity governance processes, monitoring access activity, and supporting least-privilege enforcement and audits.
