The primary purpose of this DAG is to enforce data governance policies that safeguard sensitive information while ensuring compliance with applicable regulations in the public sector. The architecture consists of a robust data pipeline that begins with the ingestion of sensitive data sources, such as citizen records, financial transactions, and compliance checklists. The first step involves implementing access controls to restrict data visibility to authorized personnel only, thereby enhancing data security. Next, data masking techniques are applied to obfuscate sensitive information, ensuring that even if data is accessed, it cannot be misused. The pipeline then integrates verification processes that check for compliance with relevant regulations, such as GDPR and HIPAA. Any potential violations are documented in a compliance register, which serves as an essential output of the DAG. Monitoring mechanisms are in place to trigger alerts in case of any detected breaches, allowing for immediate corrective actions to be taken. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as the number of compliance violations, response time to alerts, and the percentage of data successfully masked are monitored to assess the effectiveness of the governance policies. This DAG ultimately delivers significant business value by mitigating risks associated with data breaches, ensuring regulatory compliance, and fostering public trust in government data handling practices.
