guidelines. The following levels are defined: • A policy is enforced, you must comply. The SDP team enforces the policies. For example, security policies like network routing and user access management. • A standard should be complied with or explained why deviated from. The SDP team provides standards by default, but business functions may opt-out. They take responsibility when they deviate from standards. For example, default cloud services are available while a business function may choose another service. • A best practice is recommend and optional to comply with. The SDP team leads by example by always applying a best practice to their services. For example, use Azure Data Factory as data integration service of structured and semi-structured data sources.

Networking: All network access is centrally controlled on a cloud landing zone Auditing changes: Changes are signed and timestamped through git. User access management: Least privileges are permitted to groups. Only read access on production resources (not on data). Secure: a layered model Privileged identity management: Approve and audit temporarily access to production resources. Data access managed: Manage who can access which data.

A downside to a decentralized approach is potential chaos and proliferation of technologies. How does Enza ensure that all data teams do not follow their own path too much and thus become less effective as a company? • What preconditions do we want to enforce to increase the uniform way of working while at the same time retaining flexibility for the data teams? • What measures do we take to guarantee the quality of the service? • How can we effectively manage data ownership, data access controls and security across the different data domains? • How do we deal with differences in data maturity within and between the data teams?
