Insufficient coverage
Insufficient coverage to score
Only 2 of 6 governance dimensions are confidently known for Databricks — too few for a headline score. What we do have is shown below.
How is this scored? →

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Databricks’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
High Prohibition on Scraping or Bulk Export of Metadata

The prohibition covers all metadata generated by the Services and explicitly reaches audit logs and credentials, which are operationally sensitive data types.

High Strict Internal Access Controls to Production Systems

Strict access controls on internal employees directly limit the insider-threat surface for production systems and customer data.

High All Material Penetration Test Findings Must Be Addressed

The materiality threshold means that no penetration test can be closed as passing while material vulnerabilities remain unresolved, creating a mandatory remediation gate.

High Severity-Zero Vulnerabilities Highest Urgency Priority

Explicitly prioritizing Severity-0 vulnerabilities above other rollouts means the most critical threats, including zero-day exploits, are structurally moved to the front of the remediation queue.

High Security Scanning Before Production Promotion

Requiring security scanning before production promotion creates a gatekeeping step that prevents unscanned code or images from reaching the live environment.
