Shift-left Governance:
Enabling Engineering Teams to Define Data Policies

About the Session

Governance doesn’t have to slow down your team. In this session, we’ll discuss how AI-enhanced metadata automation turns governance from a bottleneck into a productivity boost. The result: compliance outcomes (PII handling, retention, access controls) emerge naturally from day-to-day work, rather than as after-the-fact audits.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to embed governance into developer workflows without heavy-handed gates
  • Patterns for moving policies from documents into automated enforcement
  • Why metadata and tools like DataHub are central to shift-left governance
  • One quick win: how to automate PII tagging in your data catalog to improve audibility and reduce compliance risk.
