Frequently asked questions
How does this support SOC 2 audits?
Access controls, audit trails, change management documentation, and data classification posture are all part of the governance scope. Your SOC 2 auditor reviews the operating model; we build the data-layer half of it.
What about multi-tenant data isolation?
Per-tenant isolation at the warehouse layer (separate schemas, row-level security, or fully separate databases depending on customer requirements) plus per-tenant workspace patterns in Power BI or Tableau. Auditable end-to-end.
How long does SaaS governance take to stand up?
First useful phase (top 20 assets cataloged, owners assigned, SOC 2 controls documented) lands in 90 to 120 days. Full enterprise rollout 9 to 18 months depending on scale.
Is data governance just documentation work?
No. Documents without operational enforcement do not change behavior. The work is the operating model: named owners, defined SLAs, monitoring posture, and the change-management pattern that prevents drift. The documents follow from the operating model.
How do you measure governance program success?
Time-to-trust for new analytical use cases, time-to-resolution for data quality incidents, and the metric-consistency rate across downstream consumers. We instrument these from day one of the engagement.
