des-governance-security-design

To design a data governance specification, define governance scope, data classification, access controls, privacy, retention, and audit logging requirements. This transforms sensitivity and compliance needs into an evidence-backed specification across Bronze, Silver, and Gold data layers.

An access control and audit logging plan must include data classification, sensitivity handling, protection policies, approval workflows, exception handling, monitoring, and incident response escalation to ensure safe governed data product releases.

No, you do not need security infrastructure code for this design phase. It produces a governance and security specification artifact covering access, privacy, and retention rules without implementing any actual security code or infrastructure.

Approval workflows and data classification apply sensitivity handling and protection policies across Bronze, Silver, Gold, semantic, and serving layers. They enforce accountability and specify exception handling within the governed data product design.

Use a phase-orchestrated governance security design model when moving data products through structured phases requiring validation. It produces Phase 19 outputs like support plans, evidence packs, and done gates to enforce readiness before safe handoff.
