Manage policies transparently

Policies are better understood when they are transparent. Create, organize, and manage policies within the data catalog to make it actionable. Give context to policies by setting rules and ownership, and link to associated data.

Scale policy application

Operationalize policies by discovering relevant data pursuant to the policies at play. Apply policies at scale with Catalog Sets and Workflow Automation, or use granular filtering to pinpoint exact data subject to policies.

Protect sensitive data

Implement policies by leveraging varying degrees of protection. Mask sensitive data from view for certain group types, or completely lock access to catalog pages based on role. Support bi-directional enforcement of policies at the database level with some sources.

Improve compliance

Empower data consumers to use data compliantly with guidance in their natural workflow. As people view data, TrustFlags signal what data is subject to which policies, such as GDPR and CCPA. TrustCheck highlights associated policies in connected applications, preventing data misuse.

The GDPR requires us to know where our data sits and how it should be processed. Because we store that information in Alation, it becomes much easier for us to be compliant.
