Build Trust Through Data Governance
Comprehensive. Cohesive. Compliant.

Effective data governance defines leaders in the modern research landscape. Our software equips organizations to implement it with the clarity, confidence, and control necessary to lead with authority.

Our Solution

Software

Rich Data Services

Built on decades of experience managing complex data across public and secure environments, Rich Data Services unifies access, oversight, and insight into a cohesive system that strengthens trust in the data, how its managed, and the outputs produced from it.


Through its modular, customizable, and fully auditable design, this platform enables organizations to align governance with their policies and standards while meeting the specific demands of diverse data environments.


Rich Data Services manages key metadata, request activity, and compliance information and exposes this through secure APIs, creating a unified source of truth that can be integrated with other systems to strengthen coordination, reduce redundancy, and support strategic decision-making.

High-Quality Research

Achieve consistent, reproducible outputs and reduce the risk of misinterpretation with the clarity and precision that comes from having rich contextual understanding of every dataset.

Intuitive Data Access

Navigate a consistent path for requesting and receiving data across public, remote, and restricted tiers. Proceed with confidence knowing that every access point is aligned with policy.

Adaptive Governance

Operate within standard governance workflows that flex seamlessly to organizational policies, roles, and responsibilities. Maintain complete control over review, approval, and oversight at each stage of the data lifecycle.

Continuous Compliance

Mitigate risk with automated oversight of data access requirements across projects, teams, and individual researchers. Requirements stay up to date and accountability remains clear.

Built-In Auditability

Rely on a fully traceable record of every update, request, or decision. Strengthen compliance and reduce organizational risk with a comprehensive, defensible audit trail.

Integrated Insight

Consolidate insights across projects, teams, and usage patterns and integrate them into existing systems to align oversight with the broader organizational ecosystem.


Our Expertise

Subject Matter

Metadata Standards

Our deep involvement in designing and implementing metadata standards, such as DDI and SDMX, has given us unmatched insight into how structured metadata drives clarity, consistency, and reproducibility in research. This experience allows us to help organizations follow the best practices put forward by standards while adapting them to their operational needs, ensuring metadata remains accurate, governed, and aligned with organizational goals.
Enterprise

Enterprise Metadata Management

We’ve partnered with national statistical organizations to build enterprise-scale metadata systems that bring order and consistency to classifications, standards, and analytical outputs. Our work includes designing governed review processes for metadata changes and modernizing legacy coding systems so they can operate within robust, standards-based environments.
Secure Environments

Secure Data Environments

Years of experience inside secure research environments have shaped our understanding of the governance, oversight, and controls required to manage sensitive data responsibly. We support custodians by incorporating the policies and compliance expectations of each participating organization, ensuring every entity operates transparently and in full alignment with its requirements.
Discovery

Data Discovery & Delivery

Our work in data discovery spans dynamic data dictionaries, interactive microdata querying, and online analysis tools that bring structure to fragmented access points. These capabilities help organizations deliver consistent, intuitive experiences that support the full research lifecycle from initial exploration to producing validated analytical outputs.
Access Requests

Data Access Requests & Compliance

We’ve helped statistical agencies and APCDs design access request processes that balance usability with strong oversight. By embedding policy controls, compliance checks, and transparent review steps, we ensure researchers remain compliant while giving custodians the visibility and authority they need to manage access responsibly.
Data Collection

Data Collection & Harmonization

Our experience collecting, ingesting, and harmonizing data from diverse providers has allowed us to help organizations address quality challenges and build reliable data pipelines. Through validation, standardization, and careful harmonization, we strengthen the integrity of downstream analysis and create a dependable foundation for governance and research.
