Controls

RBAC/ABAC and fine-grained policies allow administrators to precisely control access to data based on roles, attributes, and context. This granular approach minimizes the potential impact of security breaches or accidental data exposure by limiting user privileges to only what is necessary for their specific tasks.

Row/column security and masking provide an additional layer of protection by restricting access to sensitive columns within datasets and obscuring individual values where appropriate. These techniques prevent unauthorized viewing or modification of confidential information, safeguarding against both internal and external threats.

Lineage, quality, anomaly detection offer comprehensive monitoring capabilities that track data transformations and identify potential issues throughout the analytics pipeline. This proactive approach enables rapid remediation of data quality problems and ensures the integrity of insights derived from your data.

Example

Example: Secure Lakehouse Rollout demonstrates a practical implementation of our platform’s security features. Initially, fine-grained policies are established to restrict access based on user roles and data sensitivity levels, ensuring that only authorized personnel can interact with specific datasets.

Enabling lineage and DQ monitors provides continuous tracking of data transformations and automated validation rules, allowing for immediate detection of inconsistencies or errors within the lakehouse environment. This proactive monitoring helps maintain data quality and facilitates rapid troubleshooting when issues arise.

Regular audit usage and anomalies through our platform's logging and alerting capabilities allows you to identify suspicious activity and potential security threats in real-time. These insights enable timely intervention, preventing unauthorized access or manipulation of your valuable data assets.

Frequently asked questions

Pseudonymization?

Pseudonymization involves replacing direct identifiers with artificial representations to reduce the risk of identifying individuals while still enabling data analysis. We support tokenization, where unique tokens are generated for each record, and hashing algorithms that transform original values into secure, one-way strings – both techniques contribute to pseudonymized datasets.

Secrets?

Managing secrets securely is paramount; our platform utilizes managed broker services to handle credential storage and rotation automatically. This reduces the risk of human error and ensures that access keys and passwords are regularly updated, minimizing vulnerabilities associated with compromised credentials.

Shadow copies?

Inventory and granular controls around shadow copies provide a detailed audit trail of data modifications and backups. This allows for rapid recovery from accidental deletions or corruptions while maintaining a secure environment by limiting access to these backup versions based on defined policies.

Data sharing?

Secure data sharing is facilitated through legally binding contracts outlining permitted uses and access restrictions, alongside the implementation of ‘clean rooms’ – isolated environments where data can be analyzed without direct exposure. These mechanisms ensure compliance with data privacy regulations while enabling collaborative insights.

Lineage?

Automated capture of data lineage is a key feature, providing a complete and auditable record of all data transformations and movements within the platform. This traceability enables rapid identification of root causes for data quality issues and facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements regarding data provenance.

Quality?

Data Quality (DQ) checks are integrated throughout the platform, including automated validation rules and ongoing monitoring for anomalies. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) define acceptable levels of data quality, ensuring that your analytics and AI models rely on reliable and trustworthy data.

Monitoring?

Comprehensive monitoring capabilities track user activity, data access patterns, and potential drift in data distributions. These signals enable proactive identification of security threats, performance bottlenecks, and changes that could impact the integrity or reliability of your data assets.

Access reviews?

Periodic, risk-based access reviews are facilitated through automated workflows and manual audits, ensuring that user permissions remain aligned with their current roles and responsibilities. This process helps to minimize the potential for unauthorized access or misuse of sensitive data.

Compliance?

Our platform is designed to support compliance with a wide range of regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA, by providing features that enable data governance, audit trails, and data protection controls. We map these controls directly to relevant regulatory requirements, simplifying the process of demonstrating compliance.

Outlook?

The unified governance layers within our secure data platform provide a scalable and adaptable architecture for managing increasingly complex data landscapes. This layered approach simplifies data management, reduces operational overhead, and ensures consistent security and compliance across your entire analytics and AI ecosystem.
