data governance program
Data governance is the practice and concept of managing data throughout its lifecycle. This includes gathering, understanding, protecting, and leveraging your data.
Metadata audits ensure that your data is secure and protected against threats. Metadata audits are a critical part of the data governance process, and should be performed regularly in order to ensure the accuracy of your metadata.
Automated data lineage is the process of tracking the lifecycle of data assets. This includes the origin of data, transformations, movement across applications and systems, and destinations. Without data lineage processes in place, it can be difficult for organizations to pinpoint where data errors and inaccuracies are coming from and where data is going.
Secoda consolidates your data monitoring and observability, catalog, lineage, and documentation in one central platform so you can reduce complexity and save budget.
