What's your organization's biggest data governance headache?

Hi everyone! I’m Anik Naskar, a Data Engineer based in Queretaro, Mexico. I have a background in Azure and GCP, with a specific focus on Data Governance within Data Mesh architectures. I’ve spent the last few years implementing Unity Catalog, automated audit trails, and complex access control management (RLS/CLS) for enterprise clients like PwC. Excited to be part of the community! My recent work involves integrating Microsoft Purview with Databricks Unity Catalog to create a unified data map. I’ve automated lineage extraction to trace data flow from ADF pipelines down to specific columns in Databricks, ensuring we have a real-time view of our data estate for compliance audits. This has been key in enforcing our data mesh principles by linking business glossary terms directly to our technical assets.
