International Data Corporation (IDC) has officially released its market share research report on China's Data Security Management Platform - "China Data Security Management Platform Market Share, 2024: Unified Data Security Management Emerges as a Trend" 《中国数据安全管理平台市场份额，2024：数据安全统一管理成为趋势》(Doc # CHC53592625, July 2025). The report provides detailed analysis on the market size, growth rate, key players, and technological development trends of China's data security management platform market in 2024.
IDC data shows that the market size of China's data security management platforms reached 791 million yuan in 2024, achieving a year-on-year growth of 14.8% compared to 2023. In terms of market share, major players in this market include DAS-security, QAX, Venustech, Meichuang, and DBSEC. For specific details, please refer to the chart below:
Under IDC's definition, a Data Security Management Platform is a foundational platform for data security management. Starting from data discovery and classification, it integrates multiple data security capabilities such as compliance governance, secure access governance, sensitive data management, data leakage prevention, encryption, and masking into a unified platform for security monitoring, management, and operations. As the infrastructure foundation for data security protection, this platform can continuously integrate or modularise various data security capabilities. Beyond traditional data security functionalities, emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, user behaviour analysis, and privacy computing can also be integrated and modularised into the platform to empower security throughout the entire data lifecycle. Similar to situational awareness platforms in the cybersecurity field, data security management platforms focus on business operations, utilizing a range of data security capabilities to help users understand, organize, assess, analyze, alert, and control organizational data security risks, thereby achieving manageable, controllable, and visible data security within the organization.
IDC believes that technology service providers should focus on the following trends:
Technological Breakthroughs for Building "Active Defence" Capabilities: Data security management platforms need to deeply integrate AI large model capabilities to transition from passive defence to intelligent prediction, further optimising key processes such as data identification, risk prediction, and alert handling to meet industry users' real-time risk control requirements in business environments.
Creating an Integrated Platform Solution: By deeply consolidating various security functions such as data situational awareness, access control, and data flow monitoring, an integrated data security management platform solution can be developed. This aims to eliminate "information silos" between different functional modules, enabling seamless collaboration and data sharing among modules to enhance overall data security operations and management efficiency.
Enhancing Compliance and Risk Management: Improve real-time compliance monitoring and alert functions to keep pace with changes in data security regulations and industry standards. Automatically compare corporate data management practices with regulatory requirements, promptly alerting about compliance risks and providing remediation suggestions. Establish a scientific risk quantification assessment system that calculates risk scores based on multiple factors and displays them hierarchically, helping enterprises clearly understand their risk profile.
Analyst View
Chen Jia, a cybersecurity analyst at IDC China, stated that data security management platforms are evolving from tool integration to an "intelligent hub." In the future, based on intelligent governance of data classification and grading, a dynamic protection system for the entire data lifecycle will be established. This will upgrade scattered security components into an integrated capability cluster featuring policy collaboration, joint risk defence, and situational awareness. Leveraging AI, the industry will shift from passive compliance to proactive risk prediction, driving the data security industry from compliance-driven demand to an advanced form of "governance services + security operations."
