Nobody owns the table.

Governance problems show up as questions nobody can answer. Who owns this? Who can see it? Can we trust it?

What's included

Clear owners. Clear rules.

We govern the customer and marketing data flowing from your web and product stack. Enterprise-wide programmes belong with a specialist Databricks consultancy.

Map ownership

Every table and pipeline in scope assigned an owner and a steward, with descriptions and tags so people can find what they need.

Define access rules

Unity Catalog grants by group and role, with row filters and column masks on personal data such as emails and addresses.

Monitor quality

Freshness, volume and schema checks on key tables, alerting the table owner when something drifts from normal.

Trace the lineage

Unity Catalog lineage checked for the tables in scope, so you can see what breaks before changing a column or a source.

Security, by consideration.

Trust is part of the build.

For your Databricks project, we consider data sources, workspace permissions, pipelines and downstream consumers as part of one connected build.

Databricks governance questions.

A few things worth discussing before your Databricks data governance takes shape.

What does Unity Catalog do in Databricks?

Unity Catalog is the governance layer in Databricks that manages access, lineage, discovery and auditing for data and AI assets across workspaces. Permissions are set once and apply everywhere. We use Unity Catalog to assign owners, restrict personal data with masks and filters, and trace how tables feed reports.

How do you protect personal data in Databricks?

Personal data in Databricks is protected with Unity Catalog column masks, row filters and group-based grants. We tag columns holding emails, names or addresses, mask them for everyone who does not need them and keep an audit trail of who queried what. Retention decisions stay with your team.

Does Databricks data governance help with GDPR?

Databricks data governance helps with GDPR by showing where personal data lives, who can access it and how it flows. Unity Catalog tags, lineage and audit logs make access and deletion requests traceable. Compliance still depends on your policies and legal advice, which we support but do not replace.

How long does a Databricks governance setup take?

The audit needs the most care. Applying grants, masks and tags in Unity Catalog is quicker once owners and rules are agreed.
