How It Works
COMPLIANCE
Protect and audit your data with compliance, business continuity, data quality monitoring and lineage:
Secure data on a platform with comprehensive compliance certifications
Replicate and failover databases, shares, role-based access control, governance policies, compute resources, network policies, and more across clouds
Monitor data quality with both out-of-the-box and custom metrics3
Audit data usage through Access History and Schema Change Tracking
Understand the flow of data through object dependencies and lineage
SECURITY
Secure your environment with continuous risk monitoring and protections, RBAC and granular authorization policies:
- Safeguard data with built-in platform security capabilities across areas like authentication, encryption, connectivity and networking
Continuously monitor for security risks across clouds based on industry best practices2
Enforce row- and column-level security across clouds with RBAC and policies, eliminating the need to manage multiple versions of the same data
PRIVACY
Unlock the value of your sensitive data with advanced privacy policies and data clean rooms:
- Identify and tag PII and other sensitive data with Custom Data Classifiers4
