Enterprise data access & governance
Make data access clear, controlled and auditable.
BDP DataGuard centralizes the people, policies and approvals behind enterprise reporting access—so the right users can see the right information across enterprise data platforms and reporting tools.

The challenge
Reporting access gets harder as data grows.
When users, roles and security rules are spread across systems and manual requests, it becomes difficult to understand who has access, why they have it and whether it still fits their job.
DataGuard provides a central place to administer access definitions and coordinate requests, approvals and security updates. It helps business owners and technical teams work from the same governed process.
One access process. Clear ownership. Better visibility into reporting permissions.
The platform
Bring access governance into one workflow
DataGuard covers the administrative work behind reporting security, from user provisioning to the rules that determine what appears in a report.
01 / Identity
User provisioning
Create local users or import from Active Directory, maintain user details and review assigned access.
02 / Governance
Requests and approvals
Request access for yourself or another user and route the request through configured review steps.
03 / Policy
Roles and groups
Define reusable roles by business dimension and combine them into security groups for common access patterns.
04 / Enforcement
Row-level security
Use role conditions to restrict records by region, business unit or other approved business dimensions.
05 / Sensitive fields
Column security
Manage restrictions for selected fields alongside row-level rules where a reporting use case calls for them.
06 / Oversight
Preview, jobs and logs
Review assigned access, run scheduled mapping updates and inspect request and job history.
How it works
From business request to governed report
01
Request
A user or manager identifies the person and the access needed.
02
Review
The assigned approver checks the business need and proposed permissions.
03
Apply
Approved roles and conditions feed scheduled user security mappings.
04
Validate
Teams check effective access in the connected data platform and reports.
Designed for enterprise reporting
Built around the way access is actually managed
Business dimensions and roles
Define allowed data using meaningful organizational structures.
Manager and administrator review
Put approval and exception handling in a traceable process.
Data platform and reporting integration
Validate security behavior in the data and reporting environment where users work.
Current stage
Focused validation before wider adoption
DataGuard has been developed for an enterprise reporting-security use case. A proof of concept is validating the platform with selected users, roles and reports.
For a new organization, BDP would review the environment, access model and integration needs before defining implementation scope.
- Configure representative access rules
- Test approvals and user mappings
- Confirm report behavior and plan the rollout
Questions
What should you know?
Yes. DataGuard is designed to be platform agnostic and can be adapted to data warehouses such as Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Databricks SQL and Azure Synapse Analytics. The integration method, available security controls and validation plan are confirmed for each environment.
Configured workflows can route requests to managers or other reviewers who confirm the business need before access moves forward.
That depends on the configured synchronization schedule. A scheduled job generates user security mappings; teams should validate the resulting access in reports.
The current reference engagement is being validated through a focused proof of concept. A broader rollout requires agreed scope, integration work and successful testing in the target environment.
