Dynatrace drives real-time AI governance, data sovereignty in enterprise landscape
Roman Spitzbart, VP, Solutions Engineers at Dynatrace, shares insights with on how the company is championing real-time observability, secure data governance, and AI-powered automation to support transparency and trust across regulated industries. Interview Excerpts: How is Dynatrace positioning itself to lead conversations around transparent and responsible AI governance in the enterprise space? Responsible AI governance begins with real-time visibility. It's not enough to identify issues after the damage is done. Dynatrace integrates observability into AI applications from day one, ensuring organisations can track, govern, and secure usage as it happens. In a climate where AI adoption often outruns regulatory readiness, Dynatrace helps enterprises maintain control, transparency, and due diligence. How does Dynatrace's Grail engine support traceability and explainability of AI models, particularly in regulated industries like banking and finance? Grail provides deep visibility into every step of a transaction, including the AI layer—whether that's a language model or inference engine. This aligns with our core approach of tracking end-user interactions across complex applications. In regulated industries, the focus is on preventing data intermingling. Dynatrace ensures that all AI interactions are contextually bound to each customer's data, maintaining strict isolation to safeguard compliance. With growing concerns about data privacy and compliance, how does Dynatrace ensure long-term data security and audit-readiness while maintaining rapid querying capabilities? Our unified storage architecture eliminates the need to move data between hot and cold layers, which can compromise access controls. This design keeps data instantly accessible while retaining all security parameters. We rely on hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, and GCP for storage but enforce granular, built-in access controls. Every action is authenticated based on user rights, ensuring audit readiness and robust compliance without performance trade-offs. How is the intersection of observability and AI governance evolving, and what role will Dynatrace play in this future? AI governance is accelerating innovation, and observability must keep pace. Dynatrace is embedding automation and AI observability into the application lifecycle to ensure issues are preemptively managed. Our platform supports secure, cost-efficient deployment of AI systems by ensuring visibility isn't an afterthought. 'We aim to help organisations monitor and optimise AI use at scale—without compromising compliance or budget.' Given Dynatrace's global footprint and access to sector-specific data, how do you ensure data sovereignty while enabling advanced insights like demand forecasting? Data is an enterprise's most valuable resource, but we treat it as our customer's property. Dynatrace does not access or analyse customer data without explicit approval. Any such access follows a strict audit trail and customer-controlled process. Even as a SaaS provider, we do not bypass this. We ensure full data segregation and transparency, reinforcing trust in our role as a custodian, not an owner, of enterprise data.

IDfy's Privy unveils 'Data Compass'- India's first DPDPA-focused Data Governance solution
MUMBAI, India, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As India awaits the official release of the rules of the DPDP Act, one thing is clear - privacy can no longer be an afterthought for companies. With the DPDPA, privacy is becoming the foundational principle for how businesses collect, store, and use digital personal data. With companies gearing up for DPDPA compliance, a key focus area has emerged across the board: data governance. To help companies embrace privacy by design, Privy by IDfy, India's first consent governance suite, has launched Privy Data Compass; a data governance module. This platform enables enterprises to locate, identify, classify, and evaluate digital personal data sitting across their systems. By surfacing these insights, the module helps companies reduce the risk of breaches, ensure proper data disposal, and establish clear accountability for every data point in their ecosystem. This visibility is a critical first step toward enabling explicit consent collection, a key requirement under the upcoming DPDPA framework. "As enterprises gear up for DPDP Act compliance, it's critical to recognize that data governance isn't just an internal function- it must extend across the entire ecosystem. The weakest links often lie with external data processors, vendors, and partners. True trust and compliance require governance frameworks that account for these external risks and embed accountability at every touchpoint," says Malcolm Gomes, COO at IDfy. To address these ecosystem-level risks, Privy Data Compass offers a deep and nuanced approach to data discovery and classification, powered by IDfy's 14 years of experience verifying and processing identity documents at scale across India. It automates the discovery, classification, and cataloging of both structured and unstructured data across enterprise environments - including endpoint devices, CRMs, Google Drive, FTP servers and cloud storage. With native support for both current and legacy India-specific identifiers like Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, etc, the solution accurately detects and categorises documents, including whether PII is masked or unmasked. These deep insights drive automated masking and deletion workflows, executed entirely within the enterprise's infrastructure, ensuring minimal data exposure and maximum control. "Our AI models are trained on India-specific documents of all legacy formats and languages across all Indian states- something most global tools can't match. That's how we verify over 60 million profiles every month, with an average response time of under 2 seconds- all within the enterprise's own infrastructure. Having operated at the intersection of identity and compliance for years, our deep understanding of evolving document formats keeps us a step ahead," says Nikhil Jhanji, DSCI-certified DPO at IDfy. Privy's Data Compass is also one of the few privacy products in India that offers endpoint scanning, helping organizations ensure that PII data isn't lingering on employee laptops or field agent devices. This is especially crucial for the BFSI and insurance sectors, where agents often collect sensitive data locally before uploading it. Data governance is the bedrock of meaningful privacy programs, strengthening downstream efforts like consent, risk, and rights management. With IDfy's new product offering, enterprises gain accurate, context-rich visibility into their data, enabling smarter, more actionable compliance. As the foundational layer of the privacy stack, it not only supports regulatory readiness under the DPDP Act but also drives long-term business value. With large organizations already piloting the solution, Privy by IDfy is emerging as the trusted privacy partner for enterprises in India.

IEEE Provides Strategic Expertise as Indonesia Adopts First Age-Appropriate Design Regulation in Asia
Article content PISCATAWAY, N.J. — The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA), the global, consensus-building standards development organization of IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, announces the culmination of its collaboration with policymakers on the recently passed Indonesian Government Regulation, Governance of Electronic Systems in Child Protection. Through insights and expertise grounded in the IEEE's initiatives and standards on children's data governance and age-appropriate design, IEEE SA advanced frameworks for the age-appropriate design of internet platforms and systems in Indonesia's regulatory process. This regulation is the first of its kind in Asia and the Global South, establishing enforceable requirements for digital platforms to protect children's privacy, safety, and well-being, as a robust, holistic approach against children's online addiction. Indonesia's adoption of this landmark regulation represents a significant step forward for child online protection globally. Article content Children now make up roughly one-third of all internet users worldwide. Greater connectivity has enabled youths to benefit from educational content, communication tools, and entertainment, but it has also exposed them to harmful content, exploitation, data privacy risks, and potential addiction problems. In recent years, governments and civil society bodies have called for age-appropriate design—designing digital products with specific protections and features for children—to address these risks. Indonesia's new regulation addresses this important topic by requiring online service providers to prioritize the best interests of children in their platform design and practices. Article content This regulation builds on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and its General Comment No. 25, by requiring that any digital product or service likely to be accessed by children provide a high level of privacy by default. Most notably, profiling and the precise geolocation of children are banned, and manipulative design practices, including nudging to weaken privacy settings or requesting more personal data than necessary, are prohibited. Article content 'This is an example of IEEE putting its mission into practice in a concrete way to support societal and children's needs, where IEEE's global perspective and technical knowledge combined with the Indonesian authorities' dedication to achieve a successful outcome,' said Sophia Muirhead, IEEE Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer. 'Together, we enabled the development of a practical, forward-looking legal framework and regulation that will make the digital space safer for the next generation in Indonesia and, we hope, inspire similar actions worldwide.' Article content Indonesia's new regulation is closely aligned with some of the most advanced legal frameworks and regulations in the world, such as the UK's and California's Age-Appropriate Design Codes. They also draw on internationally recognized standards, including IEEE 2089™, the IEEE Standard for Age Appropriate Digital Services Framework (based on the 5Rights principles for children), and IEEE 2089.1™, the IEEE Standard for Online Age Verification. By embedding key provisions of these standards, the regulation ensures that online services follow globally vetted guidelines for protecting children's data and experiences. IEEE SA recently launched a related certification program to assist industry in conforming to age verification best practices. Article content 'By contributing our neutral, world-class technical expertise to Indonesia's policy development efforts, we helped address a complex socio-technical challenge—how to make the online world safer for children—in a way that balances innovation and protection,' said Alpesh Shah, IEEE SA Managing Director. 'This achievement required unprecedented cooperation across technical, governmental, and civil society domains, and it underlines what is possible when we all work together for our children.' Article content The engagement in Indonesia serves as a model for collaborative policy development. Inspired by this and other successful engagements, IEEE SA recently launched the Technology Policy Collaborative to further leverage IEEE's neutral, trusted expertise to help governments address complex technical and societal challenges in strategic areas, such as digital governance. Through efforts like these, IEEE SA reinforces its commitment to being a valued partner in advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. Article content IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) is a collaborative organization where innovators raise the world's standards for technology. IEEE SA provides a globally open, consensus-building environment and platform that empowers people to work together in the development of leading-edge, market-relevant technology standards, and industry solutions that shape a better, safer, and sustainable world.

ServiceNow acquires Data.World months after snatching up Moveworks
Enterprise workflow management platform ServiceNow on Wednesday announced its second AI-related acquisition this year. ServiceNow said that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a cloud-native data catalog and data governance platform. Austin, Texas-based now called Declan, was founded in 2015, and previously raised more than $130 million in venture financing from firms including Alumni Ventures, Prologis Ventures, and Shasta Ventures, according to Crunchbase. The terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Declan was most recently valued at $350 million in the company's 2022 $50 million Series C round, per PitchBook. Gaurav Rewari, an SVP and GM of data analytics at ServiceNow, told TechCrunch that ServiceNow was looking for companies they could partner with that would help customers deploy AI at scale. Specifically, ServiceNow was looking to give businesses better resources to make their data 'AI-ready.' 'As I like to say, this path to agentic 'AI heaven' goes through some form of data hell, and that's the grim reality,' Rewari said. He added that Declan was the right choice to help ServiceNow customers with this problem because Declan helps enterprises organize and easily search through their data. The addition of Declan's data governance tools will help customers get the most out of their AI agents and other forms of AI automation, Rewari said. 'We looked at a bunch of companies and came away so impressed with what they had built,' he added. 'We felt that the whole journey that they were on, with respect to metadata management [and] knowledge-based infrastructure, to provide cataloging of data across the vast enterprise and the governance of that data itself — that could be an extremely important addition to our product portfolio.'

Available through May 9 or while tables last. Berkeley, CA | BOOK NOW Rewari said that once the deal closes, Declan will begin integrating into ServiceNow, with Declan's platform being offered as a product to ServiceNow customers in the near future. It's ServiceNow's second acquisition in recent months. ServiceNow announced in March that it agreed to acquire Moveworks, which develops enterprise-focused automation and AI tools, for $2.85 billion. These acquisitions all fit nicely into ServiceNow's plan to embrace agentic AI and the tools required to build it. In March 2024, ServiceNow SVP of corporate business development, Philip Kirk, told TechCrunch that ServiceNow was going to approach the transition to agentic AI through a mix of building and buying capabilities. 'It is kind of three-dimensional chess right now to figure out whether to build, buy, or partner,' Kirk said at the time. 'I think the biggest thing that we try to prioritize is how we can make decisions that are in the long-term best interest of our customers, and that differentiate us from what we know we're world-class at, which is enterprise automation in our platform.'
