Implementing governance in a data access workflow

As we saw previously, data access or accessibility is a governance pillar and is closely related to security. Data safety is not only a concern for administrators or managers but also for everyone that is involved with data. Having said that, it is essential to know how to design a base workflow to implement security layers for our data, allowing only authorized people to read or manipulate it.

This recipe will create a workflow with essential topics to implement data access management.

Getting ready

Before designing our workflow, we need to identify the vectors interfering with our data access.

So, what are data vectors?

Vectors are paths someone can use to gain unauthorized access to a server, network, or database. In this case, we will identify the ones related to data leaks.

Let’s explore them in a visual form, as shown in the following diagram:
