One platform for the full metadata lifecycle: discover, understand, govern, prove
Goava Data Management brings the data catalog, lineage, data quality, governance, and API governance together in a single platform — built for Saudi organizations standing up Data Management Offices under the NDMO framework and operating under PDPL.
Catalog & Discovery
Find every data asset in one place
A unified catalog across your entire estate — so analysts, data stewards, and auditors search one trusted system of record instead of asking around. This is the foundation every governance program is built on.
- Search and browse tables, dashboards, pipelines, topics, APIs, and services from a single interface
- Rich metadata on every asset: descriptions, owners, tags, domains, and data products
- 80+ native connectors keep the catalog automatically up to date
Lineage
Trace every column from source to dashboard
End-to-end, column-level lineage shows exactly how data flows through your stack — the evidence trail that NDMO-aligned governance programs and PDPL impact assessments depend on.
- End-to-end and column-level lineage across sources, pipelines, and BI tools
- Visual lineage editor to document the flows automation cannot see
- Lineage API so pipelines and scripts can record the links they create
Data Quality
Measure, test, and prove data quality
Profiling, quality tests, and data contracts turn data quality from opinion into evidence — with incident management and alerts the moment a test fails, so issues are fixed before decisions depend on them.
- Profiler captures statistics and null counts, plus table-change activity on supported warehouses
- Quality tests codify what "good" means for each asset, and data contracts document SLA expectations
- Incident management and observability alerts when checks fail
Governance & Classification
Classify, define, and assign ownership at scale
The controls a Data Management Office runs on: classifications, a shared business glossary, domains, and clear ownership — structured so your work maps to NDMO domains and supports PDPL obligations.
- Classifications and tags on datasets, columns and API endpoints, with glossary terms carrying their linked tags
- Business glossary, domains, and data products in one shared business language
- A named owner on every asset
API Governance
Govern your APIs alongside the data they expose
Goava catalogs API endpoints from OpenAPI specifications and lets you link each endpoint to the tables behind it, down to the column — extending governance to the edge where data actually leaves your organization. Gateway connectors for Kong, Amazon API Gateway, Azure API Management, Google Cloud API Gateway and NGINX are in preview.
- Link each endpoint to the tables behind it, down to the column
- Classification and PII tags on API endpoints, from the same tags you apply to your data
- An API exposure view that flags endpoints tagged public, personal or financial
Collaboration & adoption
Governance only works when people use it. Goava builds the workflows — and the proof of adoption — into the platform itself.
- Native connectors across databases, BI, pipelines, and messaging
- 80+
- API gateway connectors in preview: Kong, Amazon, Azure, Google Cloud, NGINX
- 5
- Native UI languages — Arabic (ar-SA) and English
- 2
- End-to-end lineage, down to individual columns
- Column-level
