Data Lineage

Data Lineage is a real-time view of data flows, mapping the relationship between data silos.

The Data Lineage feature aims to aid in data governance and oversight, allowing users to visualize data flows between different data silos.

You have the ability to filter by data category and purpose of processing, providing a tailored view of data movements.

Discovering Data Stores

First, be sure you have used Data Silo Discovery to discover data systems with personal data. This will give you a starting view of Data Silos in your organization to then draw the flows of data between those systems.

Adding relationships

In your Data Inventory > Data Silos tab, locate the Sends data to column. Input the data silos that receive data from the selected silo.

Alternatively, you can use the Data Lineage UI to drag arrows to indicate relationships between the silos.

Filtering

You can filter by purpose of processing or data category to visualize governance on the usage of data across these data silos.
