What breaks when ITSM is excluded from DSPM coverage?

When ITSM is excluded from DSPM, teams lose visibility into where sensitive data lives, which weakens audit response, retention enforcement, and exposure remediation. Sampling and manual review cannot keep up with ticket volume, so the program becomes reactive. Governance then exists on paper, while the actual records remain unmanaged.
