Data Governance Platform

Full visibility into every pipeline, policy, and data asset.

VertexNirvana Meta is built for data teams who need lineage, governance, and traceability in one place — not a catalog bolted onto an existing tool. An operating layer for your entire data ecosystem.

How it works — a single schema change event

01

Schema change detected upstream

Auto-alert to asset owners

02

Impact scope identified across 14 assets

Lineage graph traversed instantly

03

Owners review and approve the change

Approval workflow completed

04

Immutable audit trail recorded

Timestamp + user + diff logged

Platform capabilities

Six capabilities Meta handles so your data team doesn't have to.

Built around how enterprise data teams actually work — not a generic metadata catalog bolted on after the fact.

Data Lineage

Trace data flow across systems with forward and backward lineage — understand where data comes from and where it goes, end to end.

  • Forward and backward lineage traversal
  • Cross-system dependency mapping
  • Visual lineage graph per asset

Centralized Visibility

Your entire data ecosystem from a single pane of glass — ownership, dependencies, structure, and health without switching tools.

  • Unified asset catalog
  • Ownership and stewardship assignment
  • Real-time pipeline health view

Governance & Control

Define access policies and accountability across all data pipelines with enterprise-grade RBAC — auditable by default.

  • Role-based access control
  • Policy enforcement across pipelines
  • Action-level governance audit trail

Impact Analysis

Understand upstream and downstream impact before making any system change — prevent costly surprises in production.

  • Pre-change impact simulation
  • Downstream consumer alerting
  • Change risk scoring per asset

Cross-System Mapping

Connect fragmented data systems into a unified, navigable structure your teams can trust — regardless of vendor or stack.

  • Multi-source connector library
  • Schema drift detection
  • Unified namespace across platforms

Reporting Confidence

Improve trust in analytics and business decisions by ensuring data quality and traceability are verifiable at every step.

  • Data quality score per asset
  • Traceability chain for every report
  • Certification workflows for analysts

Who it's for

Built for teams where data quality is non-negotiable.

Data Engineering Teams

Understand pipeline dependencies before deploying changes. Surface breaking schema drift before it reaches consumers.

Analytics & BI

Trace every metric back to its source. Give analysts confidence that numbers in reports reflect governed, verified data.

Compliance & Legal

Produce audit-ready lineage documentation on demand. Demonstrate data handling policies across jurisdictions without manual effort.
