Microsoft PurviewData Governance
Discover, catalog, and govern data across your multicloud and on-premises estate.
Microsoft Purview Data Governance discovers, catalogs, classifies, and governs data across your whole estate — multicloud, SaaS, and on-premises — giving a unified map of what data you have, where it is, and who can access it. It is the foundation for data security, privacy, and trustworthy analytics and AI. Faltrox operates it as managed data governance.
Overview
What Data Governance is
You cannot secure, comply with, or trust data you cannot see — and data sprawls across clouds, SaaS, databases, and on-premises systems with no unified view. Microsoft Purview Data Governance provides that view: it discovers, catalogs, and classifies data across the whole estate, giving a unified map of what you have and where.
It automatically scans and maps data sources across Azure, AWS, other clouds, SaaS, and on-premises, classifies sensitive data, builds a searchable data catalog with lineage, and governs access and stewardship — the foundation for data security, privacy, compliance, and trustworthy analytics and AI. It underpins the rest of Purview by knowing where sensitive data lives. Faltrox operates it as managed data governance.

FAQ
Common questions
01What does data governance provide?
A unified view of your data — it discovers, catalogs, classifies, and governs data across multicloud, SaaS, and on-premises, giving a map of what data you have, where it is, and who can access it. That is the foundation for data security, privacy, compliance, and trustworthy analytics and AI.
02Why is knowing where data lives important?
Because you cannot secure, comply with, or trust data you cannot see. Data sprawls across clouds and systems with no unified view, so sensitive data goes unprotected and compliance obligations go unmet. Data Governance provides the map that the rest of Purview and your security programme depend on.
03Does it cover more than Microsoft data?
Yes — it discovers and governs data across Azure, AWS, other clouds, SaaS, and on-premises systems, so it maps your whole data estate, not just Microsoft workloads.
04How does it support AI?
Trustworthy AI depends on governed, well-understood data — knowing what data exists, its sensitivity, and its lineage. Data Governance provides that foundation, so analytics and AI run on data you can trust and that meets privacy and compliance requirements.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We run the discovery, classification, and cataloging across your estate, govern access and stewardship, and use the sensitive-data map to drive the rest of your Purview and security programme — delivering managed data governance.
