Integrated data governance with Unity Catalog
Without governance, data loses reliability, security, and strategic value. Companies end up dealing with unauthorized access, divergent reports, and non-compliance risks. Dataspheres solves this challenge by offering integrated end-to-end governance with Unity Catalog — ensuring security, traceability, and compliance without slowing teams down.
Granular access control
Not all data should be available to all users. Dataspheres, combined with Unity Catalog, lets you define access by role, team, or hierarchy level, ensuring each person sees only what they need.
- Access policies configurable by user, group, or role
- Centralized permission management with Unity Catalog
- Lower risk of information leakage
- Easy adjustment of access for different business areas
Audit and traceability
Knowing who accessed, modified, or exported data is essential to maintain transparency and security. Unity Catalog provides detailed logs and integrations that let you track the entire data journey.
- Complete history of queries, permissions, and changes
- Real-time audit of pipelines and access
- End-to-end data traceability
- Greater confidence in critical analytics
Regulatory compliance
Laws like LGPD and GDPR require transparent and secure data handling. Dataspheres, with native Unity Catalog support, helps you meet these requirements easily and automatically.
- Native LGPD and GDPR compliance

Catalog and data lineage
One of Unity Catalog's biggest wins is full visibility into the origin and transformation of data. Dataspheres centralizes metadata, lineage, and permissions in a single catalog — eliminating duplication and ambiguity.
