Launch Product Tour

Stronger Compliance, Less Manual Work

Automated cataloging, lineage, and audit trails make it easier to meet regulatory requirements without drowning in spreadsheets or manual updates. Sifflet keeps your governance up to date and always inspection-ready.

Fewer Blind Spots Across the Data Stack

With Sifflet, governance teams get full visibility across ingestion, transformation, and consumption, including shadow data and undocumented assets. You can finally govern what’s actually in use, not just what’s documented.

Governance That Scales With the Business

Sifflet integrates directly into your data workflows, so policies and controls scale alongside your teams and infrastructure. Whether you're onboarding new domains or expanding your stack, governance stays aligned and under control.

A Catalog That’s Actually Alive

Most catalogs go out of date the moment they’re published. Sifflet’s catalog is powered by automated metadata ingestion across your full stack: Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Tableau, and more. You get real-time visibility into schema changes, freshness, usage, and ownership. No more chasing people for updates. No more flying blind.

‍

Lineage That Goes Beyond Tables

Sifflet provides deep, column-level lineage with full context, not just technical dependencies, but business impact. You can trace an issue from a broken pipeline to a downstream dashboard, and instantly see which KPIs, reports, or teams are affected. This makes policy enforcement, impact analysis, and root-cause resolution fast and reliable.

Governance Built Into the Workflow

Sifflet turns governance from a reactive process into a built-in feature of everyday data ops. You can tag sensitive assets, certify trusted datasets, monitor for violations, and set up alerts, all from inside the platform. No need to bolt governance onto the side. It’s already baked in, and it scales with your data.

Frequently asked questions

What are some common consequences of bad data?

Bad data can lead to a range of issues including financial losses, poor strategic decisions, compliance risks, and reduced team productivity. Without proper data quality monitoring, companies may struggle with inaccurate reports, failed analytics, and even reputational damage. That’s why having strong data observability tools in place is so critical.

Why should I care about metadata management in my organization?

Great question! Metadata management helps you understand what data you have, where it comes from, and how it’s being used. It’s a critical part of data governance and plays a huge role in improving data discovery, trust, and overall data reliability. With the right metadata strategy, your team can find the right data faster and make better decisions.

Can MCP help with data pipeline monitoring and incident response?

Absolutely! MCP allows LLMs to remember past interactions and call diagnostic tools, which is a game-changer for data pipeline monitoring. It supports multi-turn conversations and structured tool use, making incident response faster and more contextual. This means less time spent digging through logs and more time resolving issues efficiently.

How does SQL Table Tracer handle different SQL dialects?

SQL Table Tracer uses Antlr4 with semantic predicates to support multiple SQL dialects like Snowflake, Redshift, and PostgreSQL. This flexible parsing approach ensures accurate lineage extraction across diverse environments, which is essential for data pipeline monitoring and distributed systems observability.

How can I monitor the health of my ETL or ELT pipelines?

Monitoring pipeline health is essential for maintaining data reliability. You can use tools that offer data pipeline monitoring features such as real-time metrics, ingestion latency tracking, and pipeline error alerting. Sifflet’s pipeline health dashboard gives you full visibility into your ETL and ELT processes, helping you catch issues early and keep your data flowing smoothly.

How does Sifflet help with compliance monitoring and audit logging?

Sifflet is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 compliant, and we use a separate secret manager to handle credentials securely. This setup ensures a strong audit trail and tight access control, making compliance monitoring and audit logging seamless for your data teams.

Can data lineage help with regulatory compliance such as GDPR?

Absolutely. Data lineage supports data governance by mapping data flows and access rights, which is essential for compliance with regulations like GDPR. Features like automated PII propagation help teams monitor sensitive data and enforce security observability best practices.

Why is using WHERE instead of HAVING so important for performance?

Using WHERE instead of HAVING when not working with GROUP BY clauses is crucial because WHERE filters data earlier in the query execution. This reduces the amount of data processed, which improves query speed and supports better metrics collection in your observability platform.
