About Collibra Protect

Collibra Protect is a capability of the Data Intelligence Cloud created to protect sensitive data and make it available, or partially available, to specified groups of users.

Collibra Protect solves the problem of protecting sensitive data in an organization. Different groups of people may need varying access levels to the same data set. With Collibra Protect, access rules and data protection standard capabilities allow you to grant access to individuals and protect sensitive information. These rules and standards with different data access levels are managed through the Collibra platform and pushed to the data source. Our aim is to promote a safe data-open culture in organizations.

The goal of Collibra Protect is to centralize and simplify access governance and remove the need of repetitive action and approval. Data access and privacy management promotes an ethical company standard giving permission to view information only to those that need it. Collibra Protect allows you to perform these actions accordingly.

An example use case of Collibra Protect is a data steward giving everyone access to a data set, but only allowing certain access to groups of people based on data categories. This is known as differential access. It is suggested that rules/standards are grouped together, for example by business processes, so you do not have to make a rule or standard for every data set.
