## What breaks

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) in Security Command Center is scheduled for shutdown on or after 1 Feb 2027, and is no longer available after the shutdown. Organizations that already have DSPM enabled retain full access until the shutdown. DSPM is no longer available to new organizations. Google lists September 14, 2026 as the deprecated date.

## What to do

Google points to alternative detection capabilities in the [Data security and privacy essentials framework](https://docs.cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs/dspm-data-security#data-security-framework) section of the DSPM overview. For the cloud controls of the Data security and privacy essentials framework, that section lists the Compliance Manager and Sensitive Data Protection detectors that provide comparable detection capability when combined. The same page describes how to [correlate findings from Compliance Manager and Sensitive Data Protection](https://docs.cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs/dspm-data-security#correlate-findings) on the same resource.

## Replacement

Not stated by vendor.
