Data Mesh
Responsible domains, data as a product, a self-service platform and federated governance.
At KDV, each domain owns its products under shared rules.
Controls and evidence support the people responsible for data.
Compliance is the organization’s responsibility. The platform provides supporting controls and evidence; it does not replace the data protection officer (DPO), legal counsel or a case-specific assessment.
| Principle | How the platform helps |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Every access request states a purpose, approved by someone with authority. |
| Necessity and minimization | Access by product and scope, with data classification. |
| Expiration and revocation | Access with an expiration date, renewal and relinquishment. |
| Transparency and responsibility | Every product has an owner and a versioned contract; decisions are recorded. |
| Security | A single identity, access rules per product and isolation between ecosystems. |
| Accountability | An audit trail and exportable evidence. |
Legal assessment and data subject rights follow the organization’s processes.
Responsible domains, data as a product, a self-service platform and federated governance.
At KDV, each domain owns its products under shared rules.
Governance, metadata, quality, security and integration are functions with assigned owners.
At KDV, these functions guide roles, contracts and product decisions.
Capabilities assessed through evidence; maturity demonstrated through records rather than declarations.
At KDV, decisions and activities record evidence to support that assessment.
The KDV Framework operationalizes DAMA-DMBOK2, DCAM and Data Mesh; it does not replace them and is not affiliated with DAMA International or EDM Council.
KDV Framework ↗The platform enables, rather than imposes: controls can be switched on or off by ecosystem and governance profile to suit the context. Small teams start simply; advanced governance is optional.
