The stronger our data governance is, the more likely we are to gain efficiencies by having reusable data products that ensure consistency. That’s why putting everything in business terms—through a semantic layer—is so important.

Leigh Pence, Data Governance Senior Tech Lead at Freddie Mac

If you don’t start with a semantic layer, you will have data products that compete with each other, lack consistency and ultimately security. The semantic layer ensures that core metrics and dimensions are defined once and governed centrally, so teams can confidently build and share data products.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AtScale support data and analytics governance?

AtScale enforces centralized governance through its semantic layer, enabling consistent business logic, access controls, and metric definitions across all tools and users—including AI agents. This ensures both human and autonomous consumers interact with data under the same rules and oversight.

Does AtScale control who can see and access data?

Yes. AtScale applies your existing data access policies—including role-based access control (RBAC), row-level security, and column masking—to every query, whether it comes from a dashboard, an analyst, or an LLM-powered agent. All data access is secure, controlled, and compliant.

Can AtScale help prevent inconsistent reporting?

Absolutely. AtScale creates a shared semantic layer that acts as a single source of truth for all tools and users. Whether insights are surfaced in Excel, Tableau, Python, or via a generative AI assistant, everyone (and every agent) works from the same, consistent definitions.

How does AtScale handle data security?

AtScale never stores or moves your data. It queries data in place and inherits the security protocols of your data warehouse. This design ensures a secure, compliant environment for both BI tools and AI systems querying sensitive information.

Does AtScale support auditability and data lineage?

Yes. AtScale offers full visibility into how metrics are defined, where they’re used, and who—or what—is accessing them. This includes traceability for AI agents, enabling transparent, auditable insights and clear data lineage across tools and workflows.

Can I apply governance policies across multiple BI tools?

Yes. AtScale enables cross-platform governance through a centralized semantic layer, eliminating the need to manually replicate rules in each BI tool. This also ensures that any AI agent accessing data through different interfaces adheres to the same governance policies.

Is AtScale compliant with industry standards and regulations?

AtScale is built to meet enterprise-grade compliance needs—including HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, and more—based on your deployment model. Its support for agentic AI is fully aligned with these standards, ensuring secure and compliant AI adoption.

How does AtScale balance governance with self-service analytics?

AtScale enables governed self-service by giving business users and AI agents access to trusted, reusable data models—while IT retains full control over metric logic and access permissions. This structure reduces risk without slowing down insight generation or innovation.

How does AtScale handle governance for AI agents?

AtScale extends enterprise-grade governance to AI agents by enforcing the same access controls, metric definitions, and data policies used across BI and analytics. Whether an LLM, co-pilot, or autonomous agent is querying data, AtScale ensures it operates within defined guardrails—respecting role-based access, row-level security, and semantic consistency. This guarantees that AI agents retrieve only authorized data, generate explainable outputs, and contribute to compliant, trustworthy decision-making at scale.
