Policy Management

Policy Management

Establish robust data governance with our comprehensive policy management system.

What are Policies?

Policies are rules and guidelines that govern how data is accessed, processed, and shared within your organization. They help ensure compliance, security, and proper data usage.

Creating Policies

Create policies using our intuitive policy builder or code-based approach.

import { PolicyBuilder } from '@tw/sdk';

const policy = new PolicyBuilder()
  .name('PII Data Access Policy')
  .description('Restricts access to personally identifiable information')
  .addRule({
    resource: 'datasets.customer_data',
    action: 'read',
    condition: 'user.role in ["admin", "compliance"]'
  })
  .addRule({
    resource: 'datasets.customer_data.pii_fields',
    action: 'export',
    condition: 'user.hasPermission("pii_export")'
  })
  .build();

await policy.save();

Policy Types

Access Control Policies

Control who can access specific resources and perform certain actions.

Data Retention Policies

Define how long data should be retained and when it should be archived or deleted.

Compliance Policies

Ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.

Quality Policies

Enforce data quality standards and validation rules.

Policy Enforcement

Policies are automatically enforced across all operations:

• Real-time Validation - Policies are checked before every operation
• Audit Logging - All policy decisions are logged for compliance
• Notifications - Get alerts when policies are violated
• Automated Actions - Configure automatic responses to policy violations

Example Use Cases

| Use Case | Policy Type | Implementation | |----------|-------------|----------------| | Restrict PII access | Access Control | Role-based conditions | | Delete old records | Data Retention | Time-based triggers | | GDPR compliance | Compliance | Data subject rights | | Validate email format | Quality | Field-level validation |

Best Practices

1. Start with basic policies and gradually add complexity
2. Test policies in a staging environment first
3. Document your policies clearly
4. Regularly review and update policies
5. Train your team on policy requirements
