Amazon DataZone now supports enforced metadata rules for data access workflows, providing organizations with enhanced capabilities to strengthen governance and compliance with their organization needs. This new feature allows domain owners to define and enforce mandatory metadata requirements, ensuring data consumers provide essential information when requesting access to data assets in Amazon DataZone. By streamlining metadata governance, this capability helps organizations meet compliance standards, maintain audit readiness, and simplify access workflows for greater efficiency and control.
With enforced metadata rules, domain owners can establish consistent governance practices across all data subscriptions. For example, financial services organizations can mandate specific compliance-related metadata when data consumers request access to sensitive financial data. Similarly, healthcare providers can enforce metadata requirements to align with regulatory standards for patient data access. This feature simplifies the approval process by guiding data consumers through completing mandatory fields and enabling data owners to make informed decisions, ensuring data access requests meet organizational policies.
The feature is supported in all the AWS commercial regions where Amazon DataZone is currently available.
