Why Bayanis DG
Governance that runs on your real data — not on spreadsheets.
Trust what you use
Data quality rules, certification and business definitions sit right next to each asset. Anyone can see whether a table is reliable before they build on it.
Prove you're compliant
Assessments, maturity scoring, evidence and approval workflows are tied to your actual data assets. Audit readiness becomes a live dashboard, not a scramble before each review.
Product tour
Everything your governance program needs, in one place.
Click through the core modules. Every screen below is the real product.
Unified data catalog
Discover every asset automatically and keep it fresh with scheduled scans.
- Automated discovery across PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, CSV, Excel, JSON, REST (OpenAPI) and SOAP (WSDL).
- Change detection — schema changes are routed to the right steward for review.
- Rich asset pages with owners, stewards, tags, ratings, certification, custom attributes and sample data.
- Health at a glance — CDE coverage, classification, metadata quality and data quality scores.
End-to-end data lineage
Trace data from source systems through staging and warehouse tables all the way to BI reports — at table or column level.
- Extracted automatically from SQL, SSIS packages and Power BI files.
- Impact analysis shows everything downstream before you change something upstream.
- Group by system to see how data moves across your landscape.
Business glossary
One shared vocabulary for the whole organisation.
- Organised by domain, with clear owners for every term.
- Linked to physical columns, so definitions travel with the data.
- Sensitivity and PII flags on each term, carried into classification.
Data quality
Measure reliability where it matters, and act on failures fast.
- Six dimensions — completeness, validity, uniqueness, consistency, freshness and accuracy.
- Scheduled rules with failing checks surfaced and scored by dimension.
- Automatic requests raised to the responsible steward when a check fails.
Classification & personal data protection
Know where sensitive data lives — and control who sees it.
- Sensitivity labels on every column, with sensitive information types detected automatically.
- Masked by default — personal data is hidden unless access is approved.
- Legal basis required to view personal data in clear text, through an approval workflow.
Governance dashboard
Overall compliance, maturity trend and every data management domain on one screen.
- Where you stand today — compliance and maturity scores across all domains.
- How you're improving — month-by-month maturity trend.
- What needs attention — open findings flagged on each domain card.
Ready-made reports
Reports for every governance capability, ready when the auditors are.
- Standard reports for catalog, quality, classification, sharing, open data, FOI, retention and more.
- Domain scorecards — the status of Customer, Finance or HR data across every capability.
- Export to PDF or Excel in your language, and add your own KPIs.
Made for everyday use
Stewards, owners and analysts actually use it.
Governance only works when people show up. Bayanis DG puts each person's work in front of them.
A personal homepage
Each user lands on their own work: requests waiting for them, approvals in progress, assets they follow and recent activity.
Search everything, instantly
One search box covers tables, columns, business terms, tags, quality rules, sharing agreements, open data and FOI requests.
Notifications that move work
Approvals, reviews and assignments arrive in one place, separate from job updates. Finished exports link straight to the download.
Compliance & maturity
Any framework. One evidence trail.
Assess your organisation against the regulations and standards you're measured on — privacy laws, national data management frameworks, or your own internal policies. Frameworks are data, not code: add a new regulation or import one from Excel.
- Track maturity per domain and requirement.
- Collect evidence and route it through review and approval.
- Watch your compliance score trend over time.
- Export the full assessment for auditors in one click.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Which data sources does Bayanis DG support?
- Databases: PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL.
- Files: CSV, Excel and JSON.
- APIs: REST (OpenAPI) and SOAP (WSDL).
- Lineage sources: SSIS packages and Power BI files.
Which regulations and frameworks can we assess against?
Any of them. Frameworks such as PIPEDA, PDPL and national data index standards can be loaded, and you can add your own regulation or internal standard — or import one from Excel. For each requirement you record maturity, attach evidence, route it for review, and watch your score trend over time.
Which languages does the interface support?
English and Arabic, with full right-to-left layout and reports exported in either language. The platform is built to be translated, so further languages can be added.
Can we use AI without sending data outside our organisation?
Yes. Bayanis DG supports a self-hosted language model, and whether sample values are ever sent to an AI provider is a setting you control.
Who is Bayanis DG for?
Data management offices, chief data officers, data stewards, compliance and privacy officers, and data and BI teams in government and regulated organisations.
