How Data Lineage Supports Regulations Such as BCBS 239, DORA, GDPR and the EU AI Act
As consumer demand grows and technology evolves to meet those needs, regulations have to keep up, so regulatory compliance changes are continual. As regards data risk, protections and use, regulations such as BCBS 239/Basel III, DORA, GDPR and the EU AI Act have important requirements, which if not met, can bring about huge fines and reputational damage. So how can advanced data lineage support organizations with their data-related regulatory compliance?
A key regulation for financial institutions – BCBS 239 requires you to ensure the accuracy of your data and demonstrate intent to control where exactly it comes from and how precisely it changes, before being used in the business. The European Central Bank clarifies that firstly you must have data lineage. Secondly, that lineage must be ‘complete’ – a view of all data flows across all systems in your business. And thirdly, to the ‘attribute’ level.
Solidatus advanced data lineage provides end-to-end and granular lineage that keeps you aligned with regulatory compliance best practices.
