**DataTether — Data protection that follows the data, not the cloud.**

DataTether is a cloud data governance and privacy investigation platform designed to help teams understand how sensitive datasets are classified, combined, accessed, and governed across storage environments.

Traditional data governance often evaluates datasets individually. However, combining seemingly harmless datasets can create additional privacy risks. DataTether addresses this challenge through Data Passports, dataset combination analysis, purpose-based policy evaluation, privacy risk assessment, and data lineage tracking.

It identifies governance violations, highlights potential risks created by dataset combinations, and organizes findings into investigation dossiers. Its AI-powered explanation layer uses Meta Muse Spark to explain verified findings in clear language while leaving governance decisions to deterministic policy checks and human reviewers.

DataTether aims to make data governance more transparent, traceable, and understandable for cloud and security teams.
