Data Governance Standards
Naming, ownership, and PII handling rules across the warehouse.
Scope
These standards apply to every dataset in the warehouse, lake, or operational stores accessed via this platform. They cover naming, ownership, PII handling, retention, and access-review cadence.
Naming conventions
Tables are lowercase, snake_case, plural for entities and singular for events. View names are prefixed with v_; materialized views with mv_; staging tables with stg_.
PII handling
Columns flagged as PII must be tagged in the catalog and masked in any non-production environment. The masking rule is documented per column in catalog metadata.
Any new PII column requires DPO sign-off recorded on the migration ticket before it can be deployed to production.
Access review
All warehouse roles are reviewed quarterly by the data platform team. Reviews are tracked in the GRC system; any role not reviewed in 120 days is automatically archived and re-requested on next use.
