Microsoft Fabric is an end-to-end, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) data platform with advanced analytical tools for organizations that need a single solution for their data storage, movement, transformation, and reporting. When you have a large volume of data, some of which is highly sensitive, you must ensure that it's protected, carefully monitored, discoverable, and compliant with all the applicable legislation in the regions where your organization operates. Data governance is the set of techniques and tools that you use to implement these requirements.

> Large organizations also often have data that is divided into silos. Historic systems and databases, possessed by separate units within your business, impose barriers for security purposes that hinder access. In these cases, the integration of data and the removal of data silos, in such a way that security is maintained, is a vital component of data governance.

> In large organizations, data is often stored and managed separately across different business units, creating what are known as data silos. These silos can hinder effective data governance due to inconsistent standards and policies across teams. Breaking down these silos by integrating data—while preserving security and compliance—is essential for establishing a unified and governed data environment.
