Data privacy and security in data warehousing

Protecting your most valuable data assets

A data warehouse may combine customer, operational, financial, employee, vendor, or compliance-related data. That makes security planning essential from the earliest design stages.

Privacy-focused development

WSI encourages clients to use test datasets when possible. A realistic test dataset allows development and reporting work to proceed without unnecessary exposure of live sensitive data.

Controls that matter

• User permissions and role-based access.
• Backup and recovery planning.
• Secure transfer and hosting practices.
• Limited access to sensitive data during development and support.
• Documentation of data sources and refresh rules.

Security as part of the architecture

Security should not be treated as a final checklist item. WSI can help plan warehouse architecture, hosting, permissions, and reporting access around privacy and operational requirements.
