⁠What is SQL Data Catalog?

SQL Data Catalog is a system of record for semantic metadata - that is, labels - to discover and identify sensitive data such as personally-identifiable information (PII), throughout your SQL Server estate. The API-first design helps data teams and others discover and record information about your data so it can be reported on, monitored, and leveraged, in order to operationalize data protection workflows. SQL Data Catalog aims to provide the following functionalities:

• Creating a data catalog of sensitive information in your SQL estate
• Define a taxonomy of labels to support data handling policies
• Help ensure the correct controls are in place to protect your data
• Support compliance to CCPA, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX
