Data Use Governance

Snowflake and OneTrust: Balance accountability and responsible data use with innovative consent management, data and AI governance, and data privacy solutions.

Remove data use bottlenecks created by manual data governance practices

Our Data Use Governance™ solution is built for modern, AI-driven data environments. We designed the solution to favor policy-centric over data-centric governance, programmatic over manual enforcement, and project-initiated over access-based data enablement. Scalable by design, it lays the foundation for efficient and reliable data governance across your organization.

Capture the context of your data for machine scalable decisions 

Use advanced, AI-driven data classification techniques on both structured and unstructured data sources to capture data context for both human and machine understanding of your data. Accurate classification enables machine enforceable data policies. OneTrust uniquely supports classification using four contexts — business, regulatory, consent, and data — ensuring data is used appropriately.
