Microsoft Purview
Microsoft Purview is a cloud-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) service for organizing and controlling enterprise data. Its key functions include automated data discovery for timely mapping, classifying sensitive data, and organizing data end-to-end. Data administrators can manage data access and security.
Data Map
Data maps are essential for effective data discovery and control. As a cloud-based PaaS service, Data Map aggregates metadata about enterprise data existing in on-premises analytics and operations systems. On the cloud, Data Map is automatically updated using built-in scanning and classification.
Business users can utilize the Data Map through its UI, and developers can interact with the Data Map using open-source Apache Atlas 2.0 APIs.
Data Catalog
Data Catalog enables everyday users to discover relevant data quickly and effortlessly through a search experience complete with various filters. For domain experts, data stewards, and administrators, Data Catalog provides data management features such as business glossary management and the ability to automatically tag data assets with glossary terms. Data consumers and data collectors within the organization can view the data lineage of assets—tracing their path from on-premises operational systems through various movements, transformations, storage optimizations, and cloud processing systems, all the way to analytics platforms like Power BI.
Data Estate Insights
A key function of Data Estate Insights is to help data officers and data security personnel quickly understand what data is being scanned and where sensitive data is located.
Challenges for data users
For companies seeking to maximize value from data assets, this approach presents several challenges.
- Because there is no centralized system for registering data sources, users may be unaware of the sources unless they are part of another process.
- The purpose of using the information is hidden from the user unless the location of the source's documentation is known. Sources and documentation may be located in multiple places.
- If users encounter problems or have questions about the content of the information, they need to find an expert or the team responsible for the information.
- Even if users understand the process of requesting access to information sources, searching for sources and documents, it may not necessarily lead to accessing the information.
Challenges for data collectors.
For those responsible for producing and maintaining data assets, there are several challenges.
- Creating documentation for data sources can be challenging, and it is an ongoing responsibility to ensure that the documentation is consistent with the data sources.
- Creating and maintaining documentation for data sources is complex and time-consuming.
Challenges for data security officers.
For users responsible for ensuring the security of an organization's data, the following challenges may be encountered:
- The task of finding, protecting, and controlling sensitive information is an ongoing one. As organizations continuously grow, it's crucial to ensure that their content is shared only with the rightful individuals.
- Understanding the level of data risk within an organization requires in-depth analysis, searching for keywords, RegEx patterns, and sensitive data types. Even small data losses can have significant consequences for an organization.
- Security administrators are typically tasked with ensuring data security in the shortest possible time.
strength
- This will help organizations maximize the benefits of their existing data assets. A Data Catalog will make data sources easily discoverable and understandable by users who manage data.
- The service is provided on the cloud, and data sources can be registered during registration. A copy of the metadata will be added to Microsoft Purview.
- All users can annotate data sources by providing descriptions, tags, or metadata for data source access requests.
- A data catalog helps in quickly finding the data that matches your needs, understanding the data to assess its suitability for specific purposes, and using the data by opening the data source in your chosen tool.
