Data governance

Clear owners and clear rules, so people can trust the data. We help you decide who owns what, document where data comes from, check its quality continuously, and classify what’s sensitive.

What’s included

Ownership and stewardship

A named owner for each important dataset and metric.

Catalogues and lineage

What data you have, where it comes from and what depends on it.

Data quality rules

Checks that run continuously, with alerts and owners.

Classification

Public, internal, confidential and personal data, labelled and handled differently.

Policies people follow

Short, practical rules instead of a document nobody reads.

When it makes sense

  • Nobody can say which revenue figure is right.
  • A change upstream breaks reports and nobody knows why.
  • You’re preparing for an audit or a regulator.

What you get

  • A map of who owns which data
  • A data catalogue with lineage
  • Quality checks with alerts
  • A classification policy

Tools we work with

We pick what fits your project and your team, and we’ll say why.

  • dbt
  • Unity Catalog

Questions about data governance

Isn’t data governance just paperwork?

Done badly, yes. We keep it to the few rules and owners that stop real problems, and automate the checks.

Where do we start?

With the handful of numbers your business runs on: who owns each one, how it’s calculated and where it comes from.
