Hello there,

I'm not mastering at all Collibra "Assessment" feature.

However, I have the feeling that such a functionality could help our 400+ Data Custodians to answer a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) conducted according to GDPR, uploading personal data of the Data Subject to our DPO into a single repository without seeing each others data, like what Microsoft Priva shall allow.

Does anybody use Collibra Assessment to produce such an answer to a DSAR?

Thanks in advance :)

I understand the basics of Colibra, but got a basic foundation doubt regarding how much config work is manual vs ability to pull/push directly to/from databases.

1. Can colibra connect to target data access Database (ex Snowflake or Oracle) and:

• pull all initial and/or incremental metadata (schemas, tables, views, mviews, users/roles, …) ? I wonder if yes and whats name of this “Metadata tracking” component and where its being executed: Collibra cloud or agent or some other way?
• Having ingested target Database initial metadata into Collibra “Data Catalog” -probably as a Collibra “data access” type of object- I suppose kicks the approvals workflow for changes on metadata. Does Collibra connects to remote Database abd execute SQL to apply ddl changes? or does it just notified Data Engineers of approval and manually Data Engineering team then kicks off whatever schema-change cicd pipeline they own to really modify database ?

2. Additionally i suppose one can define row access policies and column masking policies in Collibra and I wonder if Collibra able to push these policies into target Database (ex Snowflake UDFs) ? or does this pushdown needs to be custom developed somehow?

3. Is it possible to have a free trial of Collibra in order to test above points ?

Thanks in advance,
Emanuel O.
