Case Study: Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) achieves trusted data, faster decision-making, and safer roads with Informatica data governance solutions

DVSA Helps Make Britain’s Roads Safer with Trusted Data

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is the UK government body that manages driving tests, instructor certification, vehicle checks and recalls to keep Britain’s roads safe. It struggled with siloed data, spreadsheet-driven processes, inconsistent terminology and costly manual cleansing, which slowed decision-making, weakened reporting confidence and increased regulatory risk under GDPR.

DVSA implemented Informatica Axon, Enterprise Data Catalog and Data Quality to create a single data repository, business glossary, automated cataloging and quality rules. The solution sped data delivery to analysts, improved compliance and security, fostered a culture of high-quality, trusted data, and ultimately strengthened policy decisions and services that support road safety.
