Data lineage for compliance — without the enterprise slog
Trace source → transform → report with owners, run history, and freshness evidence auditors can follow. Free for 2 pipelines.
What compliance reviewers actually ask
“Where did this number come from?” “Who owns this pipeline?” “Was the source within SLA when we published?” Those questions need data lineage for compliance — not a screenshot of a DAG.
Spreadsheets drift. dbt docs help but rarely cover orchestrator runs, Passport status, or cross-tool edges in one place.
Evidence packs teams keep ready
End-to-end edges
Sources, transforms, and targets with pipeline attribution.
Ownership
Named owners per pipeline — not #data-team tribal knowledge.
Check history
Freshness and quality results tied to runs for the audit window.
Passports
Shareable warrants that show trust status without VPN theater.
Blast radius
Know which reports break if a source is quarantined.
Import-first
Start from dbt/Airflow — do not re-type the estate.

Lineage & compliance FAQ
What auditors ask; what mid-market teams can answer.
What is data lineage for compliance?+
It is the ability to show auditors and security reviewers where report data came from, which transforms touched it, who owns the pipeline, and whether quality checks passed for the period under review — not a slide deck of tribal knowledge.
Do we need an enterprise data catalog for SOC2?+
Not always. Many mid-market teams need searchable lineage and ownership for critical pipelines — not a six-month glossary project. DataXPipe focuses on operational pipeline lineage tied to runs and checks.
How does DataXPipe help with audits?+
Import dbt or Airflow, register pipeline specs with owners, query dataset lineage, and keep check results with run history. Pipeline Passports give a shareable snapshot of trust status for a given point in time.
Show the trail — not a wiki page
Import existing metadata, map lineage, and keep check history next to each pipeline.
