Data Vault 2.0 Auditability
Unlocking the Benefits of Auditability and Adaptability with Data Vault 2.0
Data management has become a crucial aspect of modern businesses as the data volume grows exponentially. Organizations must ensure that the data they collect, store, and use is reliable and trustworthy. Data Vault 2.0 provides a robust data warehousing solution emphasizing auditability and adaptability as key features. In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of these features and how they can help organizations maintain accurate and trustworthy data for decision-making purposes.
Data Vault Auditability
Quote from Lorenz Kindling’s blog: Why Auditability is a Key Benefit of Data Vault
“In a modern data environment, the data runs through various layers. To still provide continuous data quality, it must always be clear where data has come from.” – Lorenz Kindling, Scalefree International.
Auditability in Data Vault refers to the ability to track and reconstruct the transformation of raw data into meaningful information and the application of business rules and calculations that generate insights. Auditability ensures the reliability and trustworthiness of the information used in decision-making processes.
Critical areas of auditability in Data Vault:
- Data model
- Operational process
- Development process
- Security
These four areas combined provide a comprehensive approach to auditability in Data Vault, ensuring that businesses have accurate and trustworthy data for decision-making purposes.
Data Vault Adaptability
Quote from Corné Potgieter’s blog: Why Adaptability is a Key Benefit of Data Vault
“Data Vault 2.0 is that great mid-way between these two extremes. There are many benefits of using Data Vault 2.0, but let’s focus on the adaptability, especially when it comes to new sources and new technologies.” – Corné Potgieter, WhereScape Solutions Architect.
Adaptability in Data Vault refers to its ability to quickly integrate new data sources and adapt to changing technologies. The Data Vault 2.0 architecture enhances de-coupling and ensures low-impact changes, making adding new citations easy and adjusting to new technologies.
Key benefits of adaptability in Data Vault:
Low-impact changes: The insert-only patterns in Data Vault 2.0 minimize the risk of structural integrity issues when adding new data sources or modifying existing ones.
Repeatable patterns: Data Vault 2.0 is built on repeatable ways, which enable automation and make it easier to adapt to new technologies and platforms.
Metadata abstraction: By abstracting your data warehouse metadata from the target technology, Data Vault 2.0 allows you to adapt more quickly to the changing technology landscape.
Scalability: Data Vault 2.0 is designed to handle large volumes of data efficiently, making it possible to scale your data warehouse as your organization grows and generates more data.
