Data Governance & Security
Data open to the right people, closed to everyone else
Governance, catalog, access control and traceability on your AWS data platform. So that opening data to the business doesn't mean opening a risk.
Access with control, not with exceptions
The problem
- You don't know who accesses which data, with what permission or since when.
- Sensitive data (PII, financial, health) lives mixed in with everything else.
- Every access request is handled by hand and ends in broad permissions nobody revokes.
- A compliance audit finds you with no traceability and no catalog.
What's included
- Data catalog with ownership, definitions and sensitivity classification.
- Fine-grained access control by table, column and row with AWS Lake Formation and IAM.
- Encryption in transit and at rest, with key management via AWS KMS.
- Sensitive data (PII) discovery and masking with Amazon Macie.
- Traceability and audit: data lineage and access logging with AWS CloudTrail.
- Retention, quality and data lifecycle policies, documented and automated.
The same security criteria we apply to your cloud
Data governance isn't a separate project: it's the extension of your AWS security posture. We work with the same Cloud Security and Governance & Compliance practices we apply to the rest of your infrastructure.
See Cloud SecurityHow we work
Discovery
We map data domains, owners, consumers and the regulatory requirements that apply to your industry.
Plan & Quote
We design the governance model (roles, policies, classification) and quote it with closed scope.
Execution
We implement catalog, permissions, encryption and auditing as code, validating with each domain owner.
Hand-off & MSP
We train the data owners and document the access request and review processes. We can operate them for you.
Stack & technologies
Governed, auditable, encrypted data
FAQ
Doesn't this slow the data team down?
The opposite. Good governance replaces manual requests with self-service access inside clear rules: the team moves faster, not slower.
Does it cover PCI, HIPAA or SOC 2 requirements?
We cover the data controls those frameworks require (classification, encryption, least privilege, traceability). The certification is issued by the auditor; we get you ready for it.
Does it work if my data isn't on AWS yet?
Yes, though it's best combined with the data platform work: governance is implemented on the target architecture.
How do you detect sensitive data?
With Amazon Macie for automated PII discovery, plus manual classification of the critical domains together with their owners.
