How to Deploy DSPM (DataSunrise Posture Management)
What is DataSunrise DSPM?
DataSunrise Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is a platform for comprehensive data protection in AWS. It automatically discovers databases and storages, deploys DataSunrise instances, and applies security rules.
DSPM creates DataSunrise instances that can operate in three modes:
- Sensitive Data Discovery — automatic discovery and classification of sensitive data.
- Proxy Mode — filtering, data masking, and access control for databases.
- Audit Trailing Mode — auditing and logging user activities using native DBMS and cloud services.

Step-by-Step Installation of DataSunrise DSPM
1. Download and Preparation
Download Terraform scripts for DSPM from GitHub: Terraform files for DSPM.
Navigate to the scripts directory:
cd path/to/dspm-terraformCopy the parameter file and rename it:
cp parameters.auto.tfvars.json.exm parameters.auto.tfvars.jsonEdit
parameters.auto.tfvars.json— set AWS region, S3 bucket name, and networking parameters.
2. Initialization
terraform init
3. Planning
terraform plan --out ./metadata/main.tfplan
4. Apply
terraform apply ./metadata/main.tfplan
5. First Login
- Open the DSPM web console from the Terraform output.
- Select provider AWS and authenticate.
