Data governance for Snowflake
Data Governance using Snowflake and Secoda can provide a great foundation for data lineage. Snowflake is a data warehouse that can store and process large volumes of data and is built into the cloud, allowing for easy scalability up or down depending on the needs of the organization. Secoda is an automated data lineage tool that enables organizations to quickly and securely track the flow of data throughout their systems, know where the data is located, and how it is being used. Setting up Data Governance using Snowflake and Secoda, provides an easier way to manage data securely, ensuring security and privacy protocols are met. To start, organizations must create an inventory of their data systems and contact points. Once this is completed, the data connections can be established in Snowflake and Secoda, helping to ensure accuracy and track all data sources and movements. Data Governance must be supported at the highest levels of the organization, so an executive or senior leader should be identified to continually ensure that the data is safe, secure, compliant, and meeting all other data governance-related standards. Data accuracy and integrity should be checked often, and any governance and policies should be in place and followed. Finally, organizations should also monitor the data access, usage, and management processes that take place. With Snowflake and Secoda, organizations can create a secure Data Governance Program, with clear visibility around data protection and data quality, helping organizations gain greater trust and value from their data.
