Automated Data Classification for Atlan

Bring ALTR’s trusted data classification into Atlan to enable consistent, scalable governance without manual tagging or drift.

Turning Classification into Actionable Governance

Data moves faster than governance can keep up. Manual classification and tagging introduce delay, inconsistency, and risk as sensitive data flows through analytics and AI workflows. The ALTR Data Classification App for Atlan converts automated classification into native Atlan governance tags, making sensitive data instantly visible and governable at scale.

Turn Classification Into Governance Execution

Moves classification beyond reporting and into Atlan’s operational governance layer, where insights immediately drive visibility, workflows, and policy enforcement. 

Eliminate Manual Tagging and Rework

Reduces the operational burden on data and governance teams by removing manual tagging, review cycles, and ongoing reconciliation. 

Improve Trust in Governance Signals

Ensures governance decisions rely on consistent, defensible classification logic that supports audit readiness and builds confidence across data, security, and compliance teams.

Scale Governance Without Slowing the Business

Enables governance to keep pace with data growth and transformation without introducing friction into analytics, AI, or data engineering workflows. 

Key Features
