What is Data governance?

Data governance is the set of policies, roles, processes and tools that decide who can use which data, for what purpose, and to what quality standard. It covers access control, data quality, lineage, privacy, retention and compliance with regulations such as GDPR and India's DPDP Act.

Good governance is mostly automated: permissions, classifications and lineage are captured in a catalog (for example Unity Catalog) and enforced by the platform rather than by manual review.
