Platform · Data Governance

The asset record is the governance record.

Classification, retention, ownership, encryption, geographic scope, and structured PII / PHI / PCI tracking attached to every asset. Not a separate catalog, not another tool. The asset record is the governance record.

Why it matters

Data governance is what an asset holds, not a separate catalog of the same thing.

The standard data governance pattern is a separate registry, populated by data stewards, referencing assets that live in some other inventory. Two systems of record, manual reconciliation, and an obligation to keep both true when nobody has time to.

Alvor models governance as a tab on the asset record. The data classification, the retention period, the data owner, the encryption status, the geographic scope, the structured PII / PHI / PCI tags, and the field-level inventory all live on the same entity that holds the asset's dependencies, vulnerabilities, and continuity plan.

That means GDPR data mapping, HIPAA PHI inventory, and PCI DSS cardholder data scoping are not separate exercises. They are queries against the asset record. The compliance picture and the inventory picture are the same picture.

On every asset

The governance record. On the asset.

Classification, encryption, retention, owner, geographic scope, data types, and field-level inventory. One record, one source of truth.

Capabilities

The fields that make governance defensible.

Every field auditors ask about, on the same record as the asset itself.

Classification per asset

Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted. Set on the asset, inherited by everything downstream.

Structured data type tracking

PII, PHI, PCI, IP, Financial, Customer, Employee, Operational, Public. Multi-select, with field-level inventory.

Encryption status

At rest and in transit, tracked as enabled / partial / disabled with evidence linked to compliance.

Retention per record

Explicit retention period on every asset's data record. Drives policy enforcement and data minimisation.

Data ownership

Named data owner on every record. Accountability traceable from a single field to the compliance program.

Geographic scope

Data residency tagged per asset for GDPR, regional regulations, and data sovereignty requirements.

Where it fits

Governance reads from the asset. So does everything else.

Asset Management

Data governance is one tab on the asset record. The asset is the record; governance is one of its dimensions.

Compliance

GDPR data mapping, HIPAA PHI inventory, PCI DSS cardholder data scoping, all driven by asset data records.

Risk Management

Data classification and PII/PHI/PCI tags feed inherent risk scoring and treatment plan prioritisation.

Questions

On asset-centric
data governance.

Yes. Every asset in Alvor has a Data tab covering data classification, retention, ownership, encryption status, geographic scope, and structured data-type tracking. Each data record carries a health score, lifecycle state (Draft or Active), and a confidentiality tag (Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted).
