Governance cannot govern what it cannot see. The Data Catalog is the governed inventory of your data estate — every asset discovered, defined, owned, and linked to quality scores, access policies, and compliance requirements.
Without governed data catalog, these problems compound silently with every new data source and AI deployment.
Business users resort to tribal knowledge. Shadow data proliferates. Assets outside the catalog have no governance applied — by definition.
A table named cust_txn_hist_v3 conveys nothing about what it contains, who owns it, or whether it is current. Accessible but practically useless.
Every uncatalogued asset is an unmanaged compliance risk. The gap grows with every new source, feed, and system added to the estate.
Automated discovery of all data assets across federated sources — structured, semi-structured, unstructured
Business context added — owner, domain, definition, quality score, sensitivity classification
Access policies, masking rules, and retention requirements attached and enforced
Business users and agents find governed assets through a searchable, semantic catalog
Usage tracked — which agents and users accessed which assets, when, and under what policy
Tantor automatically discovers data assets across federated sources — no manual inventory, no shadow data.
Every asset enriched with business definitions, ownership, stewardship, quality scores, and access policies — not just technical metadata.
Every asset linked to its upstream sources and downstream consumers — including which AI agents use it and how.
Access controls, masking rules, retention policies, and quality requirements visible per asset — compliance teams see the full picture.
