Metadata Registry

The ultimate enabler.

As a core technology at the heart of the Immuta platform, the metadata registry dynamically synthesizes metadata about your data, users, and business applications, allowing your global policies to automatically act on all the latest data – even as it changes.

Metadata: just as important as data.

Data volume is now massive, and data use is happening on a tremendous scale. To control access, using metadata is critical for defining dynamic policies. And the metadata has to go beyond information about the data itself to cover user identity and attributes from business applications.

Powering a revolution in data access.

Reduce the time and effort it takes to deliver granular, dynamic, and cross-platform access policies.

Write policies once

Dramatically reduce the number of policies you use, and eliminate the need to constantly update them. With Immuta, you can build policies — at a global level and across multiple data platforms — that automatically account for new data whenever it changes.

Fine-tune access controls

Refine your policies to control access down to the cell level — and stop shutting out users from entire tables when only a column or even a single cell is prohibited.

Work sooner, faster

When policies don’t have to be updated, and when data consumers don’t have to settle for long delays or reduced data sets as a result of over-restrictive policies, people can get to work faster — and get more reliable results.

How does the metadata registry operate across the Immuta Platform?

Metadata is used to build dynamic global access policies that not only adjust automatically as attributes change, but also allow for consistent visibility into data access for auditing and to prove compliance.

Data Discovery and Classification

The Metadata Registry is fed by the automatic discovery and tagging of data across multiple platforms, down to the cell level.

Policy Entitlement Engine

The integration of metadata in the registry makes it possible to build and enforce dynamic granular policies.

Unified Audit

Unified Audit

Because the dynamically updated policies don’t have to change, visibility is unified, helping to prove compliance.

Data Domains

Local domains can define how their data and metadata are available across the organization.

Simple, fast data provisioning. For everyone.

The metadata registry makes it possible for everyone who collaborates on data to work quickly and securely.

Data product owners

As product owners select data sources and build data products, if the metadata from the sources is in the registry, it will already be attached. That makes it much faster and easier to publish useful data products with confidence and transparency.

Data stewards

With metadata coordinated across data platforms and identity stores, stewards have the critical information they need about the user, data, and application to grant or deny access requests – in a single click.

Data consumers

The metadata registry lets data consumers search the marketplace for data products with full visibility into what they can request access to and what’s off limits. That speeds their access to data, making them more productive and effective in their roles.

Data governors

Because policies are dynamically updated by metadata, they don’t have to change. That makes visibility and monitoring much easier, giving governors the ability to conduct a unified audit and helping them prove compliance.

Data IT

Accurate metadata management results in data policies that always work. This single source of truth for data and identity helps data architects and engineers avoid repetitive or remedial work to resolve policy issues.
