As the cyber landscape continues to evolve in 2025, CISOs in Asia face mounting pressures to navigate complex data protection regulations. Skyhigh Security's recently released data visibility and compliance dashboard offers a critical tool for organisations striving to maintain compliance across hybrid and cloud environments.
The new dashboard enhances Skyhigh's Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) capabilities, providing real-time visibility into an enterprise's data security posture. This is particularly relevant for Southeast Asian organisations, where understanding data location and movement is essential for compliance with both regional and international regulations.
“Security leaders don’t need more tools—they need more clarity,” said Thyaga Vasudevan, EVP of Product at Skyhigh Security. ”By embedding DSPM within our SSE framework, we deliver visibility and policy enforcement that aligns with global regulations such as DPDPA, PDPA, and GDPR.”
”This data visibility and compliance dashboard is a natural extension to that offering as it enables customers to see and manage their entire compliance posture without any additional adoption barriers while not changing their existing security architecture.” Tyaga Vasudevan
This sentiment resonates deeply in the current climate, where the intricacies of data protection laws, such as the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) in Singapore and emerging regulations across Southeast Asia, require organisations to adopt more proactive approaches to data management.
The dashboard enables organisations to identify, classify, and monitor sensitive data across various platforms effectively. With the rapid growth of data privacy regulations, the need for continuous oversight has never been more pressing.
As Labraj Bohara, Group Information Security Officer at Settlement Services International (SSI), noted, “As data regulations grow more complex, Skyhigh’s dashboard gives us the insight to stay ahead by turning compliance into a proactive advantage.”
The capabilities offered by Skyhigh’s DSPM, such as comprehensive data classification and risk-based scoring, provide substantial support for security teams.
This functionality allows organisations to quantify their exposure effectively and prioritise remediation efforts. Furthermore, the dashboard simplifies compliance auditing, giving the necessary visibility and evidence logs for auditors, regulators, and executives alike.
In a region where organisations are increasingly migrating to cloud environments, the ability to monitor data handling practices and highlight operational risks is essential. As CISOs look ahead to the remainder of 2025 and beyond, the emphasis on data visibility and compliance will play a pivotal role in enhancing their organisations' cybersecurity posture.
For organisations committed to strengthening their data governance frameworks, embracing tools that facilitate clarity and compliance is no longer optional; it is a strategic necessity in the fight against evolving cyber threats.
