Overview

Immuta Data Domains enable decentralized governance by grouping datasets into business-aligned domains. Empowered, local teams (data stewards, product owners) can author and enforce access policies, publish data products, and audit usage—all within a unified platform. This eliminates bottlenecks from centralized teams, accelerates data access, and ensures secure, context-aware decisions.

Features and Capabilities

• Domain Containers: Organize data sources into domains based on business units, project teams, or tags for logical grouping.
• Dynamic & Manual Assignment: Support automatic domain membership via tags or manual selection for flexible data organization.
• Local Policy Authoring: Grant domain-specific “Manage Policies” rights to enable stewards to author policies scoped to their domain only.
• Attribute-Based Access Control: Use ABAC within domains to define granular, context-driven access rules for maximum data control.
• Unified Audit: Provide visibility into data usage and policy enforcement at both domain and organization levels to support compliance.
• Support for Data Products: Domains enable publishing and discovery of data products through a local marketplace for streamlined access.
• Federated Governance Model: Combine centralized oversight with domain-level autonomy to align with modern data mesh architectures.
• Role-Based Assignments: Assign domain roles such as Governance, Steward, Audit, and Manage Policies for clear ownership and control.
• Robust Integration: Fully integrates with Immuta’s metadata registry, discovery and classification engine, policy entitlement engine, and audit logging for a complete governance solution.
