What does Collibra do?

The Collibra Data Intelligence Platform combines several key functions into a unified system. The platform provides data cataloging capabilities that allow organizations to discover, document, and organize their data assets.

Privacy management features are built into the core platform, enabling organizations to automate the enforcement of data privacy policies and assess regulatory risks associated with sensitive data handling.

Collibra's approach to data governance incorporates business-led collaboration tools that allow different stakeholders to work together in managing data assets. The platform provides visualization capabilities for data flows and transformations, helping users understand how data moves and changes throughout their organization. This visibility extends to AI use cases, where the platform offers capabilities for cataloging, assessing, and monitoring artificial intelligence applications.
