Maintaining data quality is a whole lot easier when responsibility for critical data is clearly mapped to relevant stakeholders. When you give them the visibility and tools to rapidly respond to issues too, data reliability can be taken to the next level. Synq can help with all this.
Responsibility for data quality should be shared both within and beyond your data team. Synq lets you align ownership across engineering, BI analysts, analytics engineers, and business stakeholders. An intelligent alerting system ensures the right people know when to act.
“As a data team you sit so far downstream. Each time someone in the operations team makes an error in a spreadsheet we have to deal with it.“ — How Instabee achieved 5-minute operational issue resolution times?
There’s no more need to go through a soul-destroying tagging process to express ownership of items. Synq can define rules to instantly create an ownership structure in a variety of ways:
Tracks data size changes, quickly spotting and alerting on anomalies.
Ensures data growth follows expected patterns, guarding against irregularities.
Checks that data updates arrive on schedule, ensuring timeliness.
Automatically route relevant alerts about data issues to the right owners, so on-call engineers don’t have to intervene. Say goodbye to tedious on-call Slack triages to find out who was the last modifier for each failed model. Synq also helps you:
Relevant, targeted and actionable alerts help team members quickly understand what happened and what to do next.
“Synq helps us unify errors from all our systems into one place to easily see if issues originate from Redshift or BigQuery, who its owner is, potential root causes, and the downstream impact.”
“With Synq, we can manage ownership and importance on top of our data quality controls in dbt. This ensures that important issues get acted on fast and frees up time for the data team.”
Our integrations make it easy to work with all the platforms and applications you want to use. We’re proud to be a fully integrated platform for data quality.

Absolutely. Synq adheres to SOC2 and GDPR regulations. Our design and operations prioritise security, ensuring the safeguarding of individual systems and information through cryptographic controls. We are hosted on Google Cloud (GCP/Europe) and encryption is applied by default to all data in transit and at rest. (for what its worth, we've been successfully onboarded by a major bank, and we all know how strict they are!)
Customer data is retained for as long as the account is in active status. Data enters an “expired” state when the account is voluntarily closed. Expired account data will be retained for 28 calendar days. After this period, the account and related data will be removed. Check out our data policy here.
The Synq API is available for developers to manage certain functionalities using custom workflows. Synq exposes its API as gRPC services. This means that the API is as easy to use as calling functions from your code.
