Compliance that scales
Regulators don’t just ask if you’re compliant. They demand proof. You must demonstrate how every piece of data flows through internal systems, who accessed it, and why. Without clear lineage and traceability, the risk of fines, delays, and reputational damage skyrockets.
Mitigate risk and build compliance into every data flow. Automated lineage, observability, and governance keep you audit-ready and resilient—no matter how regulations evolve.
Gain the confidence to meet demanding standards like GDPR, CCPA, and BCBS239 with clear audit trails.
Key compliance requirements

Instantly support data access, correction, deletion, and portability requests.
Implement real-time alerts and governance workflows to comply with reporting deadlines.
Understand data processing risks and implement safeguards with metadata-driven visibility.
Track data flows and ensure they meet regulatory transfer requirements.

FAQ
Regulatory compliance software helps businesses meet government laws, industry standards, and internal policies by automating tasks like data tracking, risk assessment, and audit reporting. Actian’s Data Intelligence Platform helps compliance teams by combining catalog, observability, and AI in one platform, so they can quickly identify sensitive data, trace it across systems, monitor for issues, and get faster answers for audits, regulatory requests, and reporting.
Actian helps organizations meet demanding standards including GDPR, CCPA, and BCBS239 by providing clear audit trails, automated data lineage, and data classification across the enterprise.
Data lineage provides a visual, end-to-end map of how data moves and transforms across your systems, so you can show regulators exactly how information is handled and demonstrate compliance with confidence.
Actian covers data mapping and inventory, data subject rights, breach notification, risk assessments, cross-border data transfers, data minimization and retention, and third-party vendor risk management.
Actian automates audit trails, anomaly detection, and continuous monitoring so your organization is compliant every day, not just at reporting time, eliminating last-minute scrambles before audits.
Actian provides visibility into how data is shared with processors and sub-processors, supporting GDPR Article 28 compliance requirements.
Yes, the platform is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliant, and it automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data at scale.
Actian builds the platform around the data steward’s core responsibilities —(metadata ownership, governance policy, data quality, compliance, and catalog adoption) across several capabilities working together:
- The Graph-Based Business Glossary lets stewards define, manage, and publish authoritative business terms with hierarchies, relationships, and direct links to underlying datasets, owners, and KPIs.
- Item Lifecycle Policies give stewards stage-based visibility control (draft, in-review, approved) across the catalog, APIs, and MCP connections, so unvalidated definitions never reach consumers or AI agents.
- Smart Classification uses ML to automatically identify and tag sensitive data at scale, reducing manual tagging.
- Watchlists and the Audit Trail API let stewards track documentation progress and query a complete record of every metadata change, which is critical for governance accountability.
- Data Access Request Management provides configurable workflows and webhook integration to document and control how access is granted.
Layered on top, the Data Steward Agent automates the most repetitive tasks (generating descriptions, recommending definitions, flagging ownership gaps) so stewards focus on strategy and policy rather than manual curation. Human review and approval remain central throug
