Solution

Data Governance & Compliance

Bring order to data, reporting and access so audits and regulators have clear, defensible answers — in banking, finance or any regulated environment.

Where this fits best

Use this route when your data can't produce the evidence regulators and auditors actually need

This solution is for organisations in banking, finance and regulated sectors where data lineage, access control and audit-ready evidence are operational requirements. We build governance your teams can actually maintain — not frameworks that gather dust.

01Workspace, dataset and access governance for Power BI and SQL
02Naming, tagging and catalog practices to control data sprawl
03Automated checks for data quality, refresh health and access violations

The challenge

Regulators ask for evidence your data can't provide

Problem

The problem

Executives and regulators expect reliable data, clear access controls and audit-ready evidence. Most organisations have the data — but not the governance to make it trustworthy and traceable.

  • xMultiple versions of the truth across reports and datasets
  • xAd-hoc permissions and unclear ownership of data sources
  • xRefresh failures and poor performance in Power BI and SQL environments
  • xNo naming or tagging standards, making audits slow and error-prone
  • xDocumentation that is outdated or ignored by teams

Solution

The solution

We bring order to data, reporting and access with governance that works in practice, not just on paper. We align cloud foundations and BI processes so compliance evidence is easy to produce and maintain.

Outcome

  • +Workspace, dataset and access governance for Power BI and SQL
  • +Naming, tagging and catalog practices to control data sprawl
  • +Automated checks for data quality, refresh health and access violations
  • +Role models and ownership maps so responsibilities are clear
  • +Azure landing zone patterns that support compliance and audits
  • +Documentation and runbooks that stay current with your teams

Key benefits

What you gain

Concrete outcomes teams see after working with Eximus.

One version of the truth

Consistent datasets and a governed release process so reports stop contradicting each other — and business users trust the numbers again.

Audit-ready in hours, not weeks

Access lineage, ownership maps and change logs that auditors and regulators can act on immediately. No manual reconciliation sprint before every audit.

Reliable BI refreshes

Refresh failures and Power BI performance issues resolved at the root, not patched one by one as they surface.

Governance teams can own

We build structures your data and IT teams can maintain without external dependency. No elaborate framework that only we understand.

Azure compliance by design

Subscription structure, RBAC, naming and tagging aligned to regulatory and audit expectations from the start.

Reduced compliance overhead

Automated checks replace manual reconciliation, freeing your team for higher-value work instead of evidence-hunting.

How we work

Our approach

Controlled delivery with senior engineers who know your stack.

01

Data estate review

We map your data sources, reports, access patterns and governance gaps to build a clear picture of where order breaks down.

Power BI workspace and dataset inventory
SQL schema, access and performance review
Azure subscription and RBAC assessment
02

Governance design and quick wins

We design the target governance model and deliver immediate fixes for the highest-priority gaps.

Naming and tagging standards
Access control and ownership model
Prioritised backlog of BI and SQL improvements
03

Implementation and handoff

We implement the governance model, automate checks and hand off runbooks your team can operate independently.

Governed Power BI environment with release process
Automated data quality and refresh monitoring
Documentation and training for your data team

Operating context

What this means in practice

Executives and regulators expect reliable data, clear access controls and audit-ready evidence. This solution is for CIOs, risk and operations leaders, and digital transformation teams who need governance that works in practice, not just on paper.

When this solution is a good fit

  • Audits or regulators request lineage and access evidence you can't produce quickly.
  • Reports conflict and business users distrust the numbers.
  • Power BI refreshes fail or perform poorly in key reporting cycles.
  • Azure environments are messy and hard to explain to auditors.
  • New regulatory requirements demand tighter controls and documentation.

Our operating model

We design governance models that your teams can operate independently. We don't build elaborate frameworks no one maintains — we build what's needed, document it clearly, and hand off with confidence. The goal is fewer surprises at audit time, not more consultants on retainer.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. We work incrementally. We identify the highest-risk datasets and reports and bring those under governance first, then extend the model progressively. We avoid big-bang rebuilds that disrupt operations.

Next step

Put your data under control

We start with a focused review of your data estate, key reports and governance gaps — then build a prioritised plan your team can act on.
