Overview

Implementing governance tooling in a way that is secure, scalable and aligned to how your organisation actually works.

This session focuses on how to scope governance tooling properly and run a structured, defensible vendor selection process. Participants learn how to translate governance objectives and operating models into clear tool requirements, evaluate vendors pragmatically, and avoid common selection pitfalls. The emphasis is on fit-for-purpose decision-making rather than tool hype.

Who it is for

  • Architects and technical leads responsible for platform implementation.
  • Heads of Data and governance leads overseeing tooling rollout.
  • Security, identity and access management teams.
  • Platform and integration teams supporting data ecosystems.

What you will learn

  • How to plan a governance tool implementation beyond “out-of-the-box” setup.
  • Environment and tenancy considerations (dev, test, prod).
  • How to connect data sources safely and sustainably.
  • Identity, SSO and role-based access design.
  • How to integrate governance tooling into the wider data platform.
  • Common technical pitfalls that block adoption.
  • How technical implementation supports Gate 7: Governance and Gate 3: Data Quality.

Agenda

  • Why governance tool implementations struggle.
  • Defining implementation scope and success criteria.
  • Environment and deployment considerations.
  • Data source connectivity and integration patterns.
  • Identity, access and security design.
  • Aligning technical setup to operating model and roles.
  • Planning for scale, change and future expansion.
  • Practical examples and discussion.

Delivery and format

Delivered as a 1 hour interactive session. Can be extended into a technical design workshop focused on your governance tooling architecture.

  • Format: Live virtual or on site.
  • Group size: Up to 25 participants recommended.
  • Optional: Follow-up technical design workshop.
