Data Governance

Threat Detection and Response, Tailored to Your Needs

Discover and Manage Your Data

In today's digital landscape, data is ubiquitous across your organization. Identifying the locations of your data is a critical first step in effective management.

However, data governance extends beyond just understanding where data resides.

The Importance of Data Governance

Effective governance includes:


  • Classifying data by type and format
  • Identifying data owners
  • Tracking data lineage to assess risks
  • Establishing standards for change management


These steps are essential for defining policies that will oversee data throughout its lifecycle, ultimately ensuring data privacy and protection within your organization.

What is Data Governance?

Data Governance refers to a structured approach that enhances an organization's data management practices, resulting in data that is:


  • Organized
  • Usable (higher quality)
  • Accessible
  • Audited
  • Managed
  • Documented
  • Trusted
  • Secure



Implementing effective data governance can help mitigate risks, support regulatory compliance, position data as a strategic asset, and improve operational efficiency.

Establish Data Governance Principles

Data governance is one of the three pillars of our overall data practice, inherently linked to data privacy and data protection initiatives. Visibily's governance services are crucial for ensuring the responsible use, compliance, and security of your data.

  • Data Discovery

    We utilize surveys, workshops, and technology, along with our partner ecosystem, to conduct both manual and automated data discovery. This process enhances visibility into the types and locations of your data, while ongoing efforts monitor changes in your environment.

  • Privacy and Protection

    Privacy and Protection: Our inventory and classification processes prioritize surfaced data. By classifying data (e.g., sensitive vs. strategic, structured vs. unstructured), we ensure the application of appropriate privacy and protection measures.

  • Risk Assessment

    Our data lineage analysis identifies data sources and user interactions, determining potential risks. This proactive approach helps establish protection requirements throughout the data lifecycle.

  • Data Stewardship

    We assist in identifying data owners and planning how to operationalize their stewardship, focusing on governance, privacy, and protection requirements.

  • Lifecycle Governance

    The continual generation of data necessitates processes and policies that govern how new data is handled, modifications to existing data are managed, and requirements for compliant destruction are enforced.

Controlling your data extends beyond discovery—we're here to help.
