What is a governance dictionary and who writes it?

Generic sensitivity detection catches generic patterns. It does not know your agency's statute numbers, your health system's internal category names, or the contract language that makes a document privileged in your business. A rule set that does not speak your vocabulary misses what matters and flags what does not.

Data Transfer imports the organization's terms, laws, policies and regulatory vocabulary into the dictionary, and Data Cleaner applies it during ingestion. Because the dictionary is made of records it carries version history — what was being redacted in a given quarter is establishable rather than recalled — and the business maintains it directly rather than raising a request with engineering.
