benefits
Unstructured and uncatalogued data exposes organisations to regulatory risk and slow decision-making. Knowledge Catalog turns scattered information into governed, discoverable assets.
Quickly find data assets across Google Cloud (BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Dataproc, Spanner) and external sources with powerful, faceted search and business-glossary tagging.
Automatically discover schema changes and scan for sensitive personal data (PII). Classify and tag assets using integration with Google Cloud’s Sensitive Data Protection.
Visualise the complete journey of your data from ingestion to reporting. Identify transformation origins, debug data pipelines faster, and understand downstream impact with confidence.
Maintain data sovereignty, satisfy audit standards, and comply with regional privacy regulations (such as POPIA and GDPR) through centralised, automated policy management.
Equip analysts, engineers, and data scientists to locate trusted, verified datasets independently without compromising security boundaries.
