Partial Completion
For organisations where the data estate is semi-catalogued: Data Watchdog can help organisations rapidly complete the job. Data Watchdog’s integration with Collibra synchs what is currently in the organisation’s catalogue against Data Watchdog’s data discovery mapping and intelligent indexing.
Advanced/Mature Users
For the organisation that already manages their fully-catalogued data estate in Collibra: take the next step with Data Watchdog by maintaining all your data governance policies in one place and enforcing them across all your databases around the world.
Store all your data governance policies in Collibra. These include your data privacy, data sharing, data security clearance levels, HR, data entitlements and access and information barriers.
Data Watchdog enforces these policies across all your databases around the world in real time by:
- Intercepting data requests, then triaging them against the user profile and all data governance and access rules.
- Dynamically ensuring compliance for non-permissible fields (via Redaction, Masking, and more) without duplicating or altering the underlying data source.
- Reporting significant attempted data access violations to relevant managers, data owners, and/or data security teams.
- Monitoring who is accessing what data, at an organisational level.
- Providing the ability to ‘audit’ as well as ‘enforce’ data policies, so that data governors can assess the potential impact of a new rule prior to implementation.
- Offering full transparency to users, managers, auditors, and regulators on the enforcement of policies.
