Frequently asked questions
- What is data governance and why does it matter now?
- Data governance is the set of roles, policies and controls that make your data trustworthy, findable and compliant. It matters now because the EU AI Act, GDPR and rules like DORA expect you to show lineage, ownership and quality before you put AI on top of your data.
- Do we need Microsoft Purview for governance?
- Purview is the natural fit if you run on Microsoft Fabric or Azure: cataloguing, classification, lineage and sensitivity labels in one place. We integrate it with your existing platform instead of building a parallel metadata universe.
- How long before governance delivers value?
- In a focused first wave we typically catalogue one critical domain end to end, set ownership and quality SLAs, and map your AI use cases to their risk tier, inside about a quarter, so governance becomes an enabler rather than a blocker.
- Is governance a one-off project?
- No. We set up the framework, then hand over runbooks and ownership so your team maintains it, with the same senior Sparkleers available for the evolution rather than a body-shop swap-out.
