Immuta monitors your data environment and provides analytic dashboards in the Immuta UI based on your data use. These dashboards offer visualizations of audit events, including user queries and when classification is enabled, the sensitivity of those queries, data sources, and columns.
Immuta continually monitors your data environment to help answer questions about your most active data users, the most accessed data, and the events happening within your data environment. These dashboards can provide even more value with classification enabled to answer questions about the sensitive data accessed by your users and the tables that contain sensitive data. Because of this information, your organization can do the following:
Meet compliance requirements more effectively
Quickly decide what data access is allowed for what purposes
Reduce the effort and time to respond to auditors about data access in your company
Reduce the effort of classifying data within the scope of security or regulatory compliance frameworks
Dashboards with data activity patterns for data sources and users
Dynamic query sensitivity on joined tables calculate sensitivity based on the columns queried and their toxicity when joined
Dashboards to help users find the most recently accessed data sources and active columns
Immuta uses several features to create user-friendly dashboards that are always available in the UI and do not need to be generated like Immuta reports. These dashboards are created by combining query audit events from registered users and the sensitivity of your data. After query audit events are pulled into Immuta, the sensitivity of your data is calculated using , which find sensitive data on a column-by-column basis using tags applied by identification. Once Immuta does this work behind the scenes, users with the AUDIT permission will see dashboards that show the sensitive data within your organization’s data environment and what users are accessing that data.
With , Immuta qualifies both columns and queries as the following sensitivity types in the :
Highly sensitive: Includes data that can cause severe harm or loss with inappropriate access or misuse.
Sensitive: Includes personal data and data that could cause harm or loss with inappropriate access or misuse.
Non-sensitive: Includes publicly available information or data that would not typically cause harm or loss if disclosed.
Indeterminate: The sensitivity of the data is unknown. Immuta deems sensitivity indeterminate because of an error in the query or because the identification or classification has not completed processing at the time the query was run.
How does Immuta determine column sensitivity?
Column sensitivity is determined by the classification tags applied to the columns by the frameworks. The classification tags contain sensitivity metadata.
How does Immuta determine query sensitivity?
For queries that read from a single table, query sensitivity is determined by the column with the highest sensitivity in the query
For a query that joins tables, Immuta uses the same classification rules applied to tables and applies those rules to columns of the query. Immuta applies a new set of classification tags to the query columns and calculates sensitivity for the query event in the audit record. These query classification tags are not included on the tables' data dictionary.
Quicker and easier onboarding experience
Dashboards with data activity patterns for data sources and users
Dashboards to help users find the most recently accessed data sources and active columns
Immuta uses several features to create user-friendly dashboards that are always available in the UI and do not need to be generated like Immuta reports. These dashboards are created from audit information and events gathered from into Immuta. Users with the AUDIT permission will see dashboards that show the data events within your organization’s data environment and what users are accessing that data.
Several dashboards are available to help you find the information you need which can be . Users with the global AUDIT permission, the domain-specific Audit Activity permission, or a data owner can see the dashboards.
Data-centric views: These dashboards provide information on how your data sources are being queried.
Activity summary of all data sources found on the main Data Overview tab.
Activity summary by data source found on each data source's Data Overview tab.
Audit views: These dashboards present your audit logs in an organized table.
The audit dashboard shows near real-time events for Immuta events, such as login, policy changes, and data platform policy changes. Query events are ingested from once a day, but you can manually trigger an immediate query retrieval by using the ↻Load Audit Events button on the Audit page. To update your automatic query retrieval, .
The most recent query history that is available to Immuta depends on the underlying data platform latency. For example, there is up to three hours of latency between an executed query and recording the event on the Snowflake data platform side.
Immuta activity audit found on the Audit tab.
Detailed audit event found by selecting an event ID from the Audit page.
User-centric views: These dashboards provide information about your Immuta users.
Activity summary of all users found on the main People tab.
Activity summary by user found by selecting a user's name from the People page.
