Before anyone — business user, data scientist, or AI agent — consumes data, they should know what is inside it. Data Discovery provides governed exploration across your entire federated estate.
Without governed data discovery, these problems compound silently with every new data source and AI deployment.
Consumers use datasets without investigating content. Hidden null patterns, stale records, and sensitivity risks only profiling reveals.
New sources arrive constantly. PII lands in datasets not yet catalogued or governed — invisible until a breach or audit exposes it.
Profiling happens per tool, per engineer. Nobody has a cross-source view of how data looks across the estate — connected to governance context.
Profile any connected federated source — on demand or on schedule
Sensitive fields automatically identified — PII, PHI, financial identifiers flagged immediately
Fitness scored against defined requirements — completeness, freshness, accuracy
Discovery results attached to catalog entry — governance context enriched
Ungoverned sensitive data classified and masked before any downstream access
Value distributions, completeness rates, uniqueness, pattern detection, outliers — across every federated asset, before consumption.
PII, PHI, and financial identifiers automatically detected in new datasets — classified and masked before any consumer accesses them.
Is this dataset complete enough for the quarterly regulatory report? Fitness scored against specific use-case requirements.
Discovery insights linked to catalog entries — profiling evidence attached to the governed asset record, visible to compliance teams.
