Case Study: UK D-SIB achieves faster BCBS 239 data lineage and DQ control documentation with Solidatus

Solidatus for BCBS 239: Leading UK Retail & Commercial Bank (D-SIB)

A UK Domestically Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB) needed to implement BCBS 239 requirements for effective risk data aggregation and risk reporting, but quickly found that its data lineage and critical data element (CDE) work was far more complex than expected. The bank struggled with an inflexible, catalog-first data governance platform that was hard to use for iterative lineage discovery, difficult to update, and required too much rework and duplicate data entry.

Solidatus provided a flexible, intuitive data governance and lineage solution that allowed the bank to federate metadata through templates, link lineage and data quality controls with one-touch commands and auto-mapping, and manage changes with versioned, audited collaboration. As a result, Solidatus reduced the effort required to document data lineage and DQ controls by 70%, while giving the bank a controlled, visual, and auditable platform that supported BCBS 239 compliance and preserved historical lineage for future reference.
