ADVANCED DATA GOVERNANCE SERVICES

We design & deliver modern data governance programs

Partner with Colab to discover your critical data, define policies that actually work in the real world, and unify data protection across Microsoft Purview, Collibra, OneTrust, BigID, Informatica, and more. From first assessment to managed operations, we help you reduce risk, prove compliance, and unlock trusted analytics.
Free Data Governance Assessment

We start with a complimentary assessment of your current tools, policies, and data landscape. You’ll receive a prioritized heatmap of risks, platform recommendations, and a 90-day action plan tailored to your regulations and business goals.

Multi-Platform Strategy & Roadmap

We design an end-to-end data governance model that spans cloud, on-prem, and SaaS systems. Our team defines roles, RACI, policies, and workflows so legal, security, and data teams can operate from a single, aligned playbook.

Microsoft Purview Programs

We deploy Purview to handle data discovery, classification, DLP, insider risk, and information lifecycle management. Policies are tuned to your business units, so labels, alerts, and reports are usable on day one—not just technically “on.”

Collibra, OneTrust, BigID & Informatica Solutions

Beyond Purview, we implement and optimize leading governance platforms for catalogs, privacy management, and consent tracking. We integrate them with your data warehouses, BI tools, and ticketing systems for a single source of truth.

Data Discovery, Classification & Cataloging

We automate scanning across databases, data lakes, file shares, M365, and SaaS apps to find sensitive and business-critical data. Using intelligent classification and tagging, we build a searchable catalog that accelerates analytics while reducing risk.

DLP, Insider Risk & Access Governance

We configure policies to prevent data loss via email, cloud storage, endpoints, and collaboration tools. Identity-aware controls, just-enough access, and insider-risk analytics help stop misuse without slowing down your teams.

Retention, Archiving & Data Lifecycle

We define and implement retention schedules that meet legal, regulatory, and business requirements. Automated deletion, archiving, and legal hold workflows reduce storage cost while ensuring critical records are preserved.

Managed Data Governance Operations

Our experts provide ongoing monitoring, policy tuning, and quarterly governance reviews. You get dashboards, executive reporting, and continuous improvement without needing to build a large in-house governance team.

HOW WE DRIVE DATA GOVERNANCE OUTCOMES

Empowering teams with governance programs that actually reduce data risk

We help security, compliance, and data leaders move beyond one-off inventories and spreadsheets. By combining Microsoft Purview, Collibra, OneTrust, BigID, and Informatica with clear policies and automation, we turn data governance into a program that continuously lowers risk, simplifies audits, and improves trust in your data.

COLAB DEV turns data governance into an ongoing advantage.

We start with a free data governance assessment to map your current tools, risks, and regulatory pressures. Then we design a multi-platform roadmap, implement discovery and classification across your estates, and operate a steady rhythm of policy tuning, reporting, and training—so governance keeps getting stronger every quarter.
