This shared mission has brought together two data leaders - Google Cloud and Secoda - to help organizations build stronger data governance frameworks.
Join us for an engaging discussion on The State of Data Governance in 2025 on February 26th with Tyler Fischella, Data & AI Governance Practice Lead at Google Cloud Consulting. Learn how the GCS-Secoda partnership is shaping effective data governance and discover practical strategies to:
The Secoda integration with Google Cloud Storage (GCS) automates data governance through metadata cataloging, lineage tracking, and security management. This integration helps teams efficiently discover and manage cloud data by automatically indexing file metadata and mapping relationships across your data infrastructure.
Secoda provides a clear view of your GCS data landscape through intelligent natural language search and an AI assistant. Whether you're working with CSV, JSON, Parquet, or other formats, Secoda automatically catalogs and organizes your data for efficient discovery. Each GCS table receives an automated data quality score based on metrics like usability, accuracy, and stewardship.
These scores help teams quickly identify potential issues and prioritize data quality improvements. The platform provides actionable suggestions for enhancing data quality, such as adding asset owners, enriching descriptions, and implementing data quality tests.
Through regular synchronization, your metadata stays current as your GCS resources evolve, dramatically reducing the maintenance burden on your team. The AI assistant helps users understand and query GCS data more effectively, while automatically generating comprehensive documentation for files and structures.
While GCS doesn't natively support lineage tracking, Secoda bridges this gap by creating powerful data lineage capabilities. Through our integration, you can map relationships between your GCS assets and downstream systems, providing complete visibility into your data journey. Track how raw data in GCS transforms into warehouse tables, feeds analytics dashboards, or powers machine learning models. Beyond basic metadata, teams can add valuable context and descriptions to GCS resources, creating a searchable knowledge base that evolves with your architecture. The platform seamlessly integrates with modern data stack tools like dbt, Snowflake, and collaboration platforms such as Slack, Teams, and Confluence, creating a unified data discovery experience.
Security is built into the foundation of the GCS integration, with least-privilege access models and secure credential management through service account authentication. Secoda enhances security through automated PII scanning capabilities, role-based access control specific to GCS resources, and data contracts management. The platform provides comprehensive data security tagging and compliance monitoring, ensuring your GCS data adheres to organizational and regulatory requirements.
Secoda fosters collaboration through a centralized data questions hub where teams can discuss GCS-related questions and share knowledge. The platform provides both technical and business users with appropriate interfaces - technical users get deep integration capabilities, while business users benefit from a dedicated portal with no-code automation capabilities for GCS tasks. This dual approach ensures that everyone in the organization can effectively interact with and understand GCS data, regardless of their technical expertise. Teams can collaborate on data governance through:
This comprehensive approach helps teams understand how GCS fits into their broader data architecture while maintaining security best practices and ensuring accessibility for all stakeholders.
These powerful features represent just the beginning of what's possible when leading organizations collaborate on data governance. To explore how enterprises are leveraging such capabilities, we're thrilled to welcome Tyler Fischella, Data & AI Governance Practice Lead at Google Cloud Consulting, as a featured speaker for our upcoming Data Governance Roundtable.
