Govern all data, code, and AI. Everywhere. At every step.
Foundational is the only Data and AI Governance platform that analyzes source code, runtime, and data, creating full visibility and controls across every application, database, cloud, and on-prem.
AI initiatives fail without strong data governance.
Data has severe visibility gaps.
Application code, business logic, transformations, jobs, and cross-platform data flows are typically missing in traditional governance tools and data catalogs. Data lineage is manual, limited, and reactive. Teams often rely on manual work.
AI needs context that is often missing
Agents and and agentic workflows reason from the context they receive. Data catalogs see the warehouse and where the data lands, not where it originates or how it was shaped. That missing context is what makes AI outputs unreliable.
Accurate lineage is now a requirement.
Compliance and regulatory frameworks now demand data provenance, end-to-end lineage, and full scope and tracing of decisions. Incomplete lineage means incomplete answers.
Enterprise complexity increases risk.
Legacy on-prem systems, application layers, and modern data clouds all hold data. What is missing is the lineage, ownership, and transformation history that allows governance teams to manage that at scale.
The challenge
The layer your governance tools cannot see.
Governance tools were built around relational databases. They catalog what exists after data arrives. But data is defined, shaped, and moved by tools, jobs and processes that exist through code, across applications, databases, jobs, services, and everything within data and AI clouds. Those layers are often left out - and the missing visibility means no governance and no context.
Source code shapes your data
The business logic that defines what your data means lives in code, not database logs. Teams then spend months and millions on manually understanding and tracking the code.
Cross-tool movement is invisible to the traditional tools
Data moving between platforms through code-based transformations and jobs does not show in SQL or query logs. Catalogs miss it and often push the work back to you.
Older systems are too complex to track
Older platforms such as Oracle, Mainframe, and SAP run programs, stored procedures, and applications that are a lot harder to understand.
Simplify cross-platform complexity. Gain visibility and accelerate proactive governance across your data and AI ecosystem.
Foundational connects to your source code directly. Not just query logs or metadata. The code itself, across applications, databases, data lakes, ETL jobs, and modern notebooks and AI pipelines. Every transformation, every business rule, every cross-platform dependency becomes visible and governed automatically.
Data Flow Visibility and Discovery
Quickly understand where data originates, how it transforms, and what it impacts when metrics shift or trust is questioned.
Cross-platform lineage
Lineage, governance, and metadata across every source and language including SQL, Python, Java, .NET, Spark, and more.
AI Governance and Data Access
Ensure AI models are built on governed, traceable data with controlled access and explainable lineage from source to model.
The governance foundations
that AI at scale requires.
“Foundational gave us instant clarity on our data. With column-level lineage, we stopped wasting hours chasing data lineage and started fixing issues before they became problems.”
Eyal El-Bahar, VP of BI and Analytics
"A data change can impact things your team may be unaware of, leading folks to draw potentially flawed conclusions about growth initiatives. We needed a tool to give us end-to-end visibility into every modification.”
Iñigo Hernandez, Engineering Manager
“With Foundational, our team has a secure automated code review and validation process that assures data quality. That’s priceless.”
Omer Biber, Head of Business Intelligence
“Foundational has been instrumental in helping us minimize redundancy and improve data visibility, enabling faster migrations and smoother collaboration across teams.”
Qun Wei, VP Data Analytics
“Foundational helps our teams release faster and with confidence. We see issues before they happen.”
