Maintaining robust data governance, privacy, and security is more critical than ever - Gartner predicts that by year-end 2024, 75% of the world’s population will have its personal data covered under modern privacy regulations (1), and as regulations evolve, businesses must continue to evolve with them.

At Secoda, we understand these challenges and are excited to announce our new integration with Cyera, an innovator and leader in data privacy and security solutions. This partnership enhances our ability to streamline data governance initiatives and ensures our customers can trust and effectively manage their data.

The challenge

Data security and compliance remain ongoing challenges for organizations. Security teams frequently identify sensitive data risks using Cyera’s powerful discovery and classification tools. However, the remediation process often stalls because data teams lack the necessary visibility into where the data is located or how it flows through the organization. This disconnect leads to delays, regulatory risks, and bottlenecks in resolving sensitive data issues.

The solution

Together, Cyera and Secoda bridge the gap between security and data teams, ensuring faster and more accurate remediation of compliance risks. This integration breaks down silos, providing both teams with real-time visibility into sensitive data and enabling seamless collaboration for swift action on flagged risks. By combining Cyera’s powerful risk detection with Secoda’s detailed data lineage and tracking capabilities, organizations can resolve compliance issues with greater speed and precision.

Key benefits of the integration

• End-to-End Data Security: Cyera identifies sensitive data risks across an organization, ensuring potential compliance violations like GDPR are quickly flagged. Secoda then takes this further by providing detailed data lineage that maps the journey of sensitive data across systems. This allows data teams to see exactly where the data resides, how it moves, and where issues occur, making remediation more precise and significantly speeding up the compliance process.
• Streamlined Risk Mitigation: The Cyera-Secoda integration enables actionable insights by providing security and data teams with a shared view of sensitive data risks. By breaking down silos, the integration allows these teams to collaborate seamlessly and prioritize addressing flagged risks, eliminating delays caused by miscommunication or lack of clarity.
• Real-Time Visibility: Secoda’s real-time data insights provide data teams with the ability to respond immediately to risks identified by Cyera. This real-time monitoring ensures that sensitive data is continuously tracked and protected throughout its lifecycle, allowing teams to act swiftly and minimize exposure to threats or compliance violations.
• Proactive Compliance: By integrating Cyera’s risk detection with Secoda’s data tracking and lineage capabilities, organizations can proactively address compliance requirements. The ability to continuously monitor and track sensitive data helps organizations stay ahead of potential issues, preventing compliance risks from escalating and ensuring regulatory standards are consistently met.

How Secoda and Cyera work together

Classify your data with ease

By providing comprehensive data classification, access control, and contextual insights, this integration empowers organizations to make informed decisions and maintain data integrity.

Key features and capabilities

Gain context, and stay ahead 

The integration between Secoda and Cyera helps users understand their data better and stay ahead of potential risks. By applying similar logic to similar tables, remediation processes become faster and easier, ensuring that data is always managed effectively.

Know you’re working with trustworthy data 

Cyera’s automated tagging system allows Secoda users to leverage sensitivity tags that provide critical information on the status of data, ensuring they can work with trustworthy and reliable data. This feature is essential for maintaining high standards of data quality, governance, and compliance, particularly in industries with stringent data privacy regulations.

Track your data’s journey

Understanding where data lives and if it is being pushed to potentially risky areas is crucial for maintaining data security. The Secoda-Cyera integration provides comprehensive data lineage insights, ensuring that data movement is tracked and managed effectively.

Secoda & Cyera in practice

One of our customers demonstrates the power of the Secoda-Cyera integration by leveraging advanced tagging capabilities within their data governance framework. Through this integration, Secoda seamlessly imports their tags from Cyera, bringing additional context, such as detailed tag descriptions and unique identifiers from Cyera, directly into Secoda. This integration ensures traceability and consistency across platforms. For example, when a Snowflake table is tagged in Cyera, it is automatically reflected as tagged in Secoda every time a sync is performed. These tags remain read-only within Secoda, reinforcing data governance policies by preventing unauthorized modifications and ensuring that the original classification remains intact.

Looking ahead

Our partnership with Cyera is just the beginning. We are committed to continuous improvement and innovation, with future developments and enhancements planned to further integrate our platforms. We’re exploring additional features that will enhance automation and provide even deeper insights into data classification and governance.
