Governance & Sovereignty
Catalogs, lineage & on-soil residency.
Data sovereignty isn't a checkbox. We build the catalog, lineage, access policy and on-soil deployment topology that passes audit without blocking engineering velocity.

What we ship
Capabilities
Data catalogs, lineage, access control and sovereign deployments that meet EAC and national data-protection requirements without slowing teams down.
- 01
Catalogs (DataHub / Unity / OpenMetadata)
Every dataset, column and transformation catalogued with business descriptions, owners and SLAs — searchable by anyone, governed by policy.
- 02
Column-level lineage & access policy
End-to-end lineage from raw source to dashboard column — with attribute-based access control that enforces PII masking automatically.
- 03
On-soil & on-prem deployments
Full-stack deployments inside Tanzanian, Kenyan and Ugandan data centres for regulated workloads — no data crosses borders.
- 04
PDPA / GDPR-aligned audit trails
Immutable access logs, consent tracking and data-retention automation aligned to EAC personal data protection frameworks.
Outcomes
- Audit-ready data governance posture
- Column-level access control that teams respect
- On-soil deployments for regulated workloads
Tech we use
In the field
- 1
Central bank data compliance
Full catalog, lineage and access control for 40TB of payment data — audit evidence produced in under a day.
- 2
Health data sovereignty
Patient data kept on-soil in Tanzania — cross-border federated learning without any PII leaving the country.
- 3
Insurance group data mesh
5 subsidiary data domains governed independently but discoverable centrally — data product SLAs enforced automatically.
How we deliver
Our delivery process
Every engagement follows the same rigorous four-stage approach — so you know exactly what to expect, and when.
- Step01
Data asset inventory
Automated crawlers discover every table, topic and file — tagged with domain, classification and sensitivity level.
- Step02
Lineage mapping
Column-level lineage traced from every source system through every transformation to every downstream consumer.
- Step03
Policy & access control
OPA policies enforce masking, access and retention rules — reviewed by your legal and compliance team before deployment.
- Step04
Sovereign deployment
Infrastructure-as-code Terraform modules for on-soil deployments — auditable, repeatable, and jurisdiction-specific.
