Context

About Collibra

Collibra is the market-leading enterprise data governance platform, providing data cataloguing, data lineage, data quality monitoring, and policy management for large organisations with complex, multi-cloud data environments. For APAC enterprises — particularly in financial services, healthcare, and regulated industries — Collibra addresses the core challenge of managing data assets across multiple jurisdictions, systems, and teams while maintaining regulatory compliance and audit-readiness.

Collibra's data catalogue enables organisations to discover, document, and classify data assets across their entire data estate — from on-premises databases and data warehouses to cloud storage and SaaS applications. For APAC enterprises with data stored across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and on-premises infrastructure in multiple APAC jurisdictions, Collibra provides the unified governance layer that makes data findable, trustworthy, and compliant.

The platform's data lineage capability is particularly valuable for APAC financial services institutions with regulatory reporting obligations — MAS, HKMA, APRA, and FSA all require demonstrable data lineage for risk and compliance reporting. Collibra's automated lineage tracking documents data movement from source systems through transformations to reporting outputs, providing the audit trail that regulators require without manual documentation processes.
