Data governance for Tableau

Data Governance is becoming more important as organizations move away from standard models of data management and towards individualized projects with multiple teams in multiple locations. To ensure accuracy and consistency, organizations need to properly set up Data Governance. Tableau and secoda are two tools to simplify this process. Tableau can be used to visually monitor, identify, explore, and analyze data discrepancies, while secoda offers an automated data lineage tracking system that can not only give data lineage visibility but can also help quickly detect errors. Set up for both of these tools starts by properly cataloging your data sources, data model objects, and transformations. This can be done via Tableau’s Data Visualization Paths feature or secoda’s Graph feature. Tableau then allows for data profiling and provides data level security. Also, Tableau allows you to automate routines with scripts that can be used to automate data summarization and instance updates. Secoda enables users to track data lineage and impact through capturing dependencies between tables and detect anomalies between source and target. This helps ensure data accuracy and make data governance easier. Both Tableau and secoda support a variety of governance strategies such as data privacy, data quality monitoring, and data access control. By properly setting up Data Governance with Tableau and secoda, organizations can ensure accuracy and consistency while still having access to reliable sources of data. This increases the value and improves the ROI of data-driven projects.

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.
