Data Asset Command Registry & Passporting
Most enterprises cannot produce a single, defensible inventory of their data assets. KRYOS builds one - engineered to survive auditor, red-team, and counterparty scrutiny.
A forensic registry that names, classifies, and evidence-tags every data asset in the enterprise - then issues a transferable passport that travels with the asset across products, deals, and audits.
Catalogs, data dictionaries, and lineage tools rarely answer the questions executives actually ask: what assets do we own, what evidence supports them, who has rights to them, and what are they worth? Coverage is partial, ownership is ambiguous, and shadow stores never enter the picture.
KRYOS performs a full-estate forensic discovery, classifies every candidate asset against EARM recognition criteria, and tags each record with provenance, lineage, rights posture, sensitivity, and business utility. Each recognized asset is issued a KRYOS Data Asset Passport - a portable evidence file that accompanies the asset wherever it goes.
Data and assets reviewed
What the engagement delivers
Full-estate discovery
Crawl warehouses, lakes, operational systems, AI pipelines, and shadow stores to surface every candidate asset.
Evidence-tagged classification
Every asset is tagged with provenance, lineage, sensitivity, jurisdictional posture, and utility evidence under KRYOS Evidence Discipline.
Transferable passporting
A KRYOS Passport accompanies each asset across business units, products, partners, and M&A counterparties.
Continuous synchronization
Registry stays in sync with source systems through change-data and integration hooks, not point-in-time snapshots.
Stewardship operating model
Named owners, stewards, and reviewers per asset, with audit-trailed sign-off.
Fail-closed gating
Assets without sufficient evidence are explicitly withheld or excluded - never silently passed through.
Artifacts produced
Decisions you can defend
A defensible, board-grade catalog of every recognized data asset in the enterprise.
Transferable passports that travel with assets through products, partnerships, and diligence.
A single source of truth the CFO, GC, CISO, and CDO can all rely on.
The capital, audit, and AI consequences.
Without a registry, every downstream decision - capital allocation, AI investment, monetization, M&A - is made against an unknown denominator. The registry is the substrate every other KRYOS service stands on.
Questions clients ask before engaging.
How is this different from a data catalog like Collibra, Alation, or Atlan?+
Catalogs document datasets for analysts; the KRYOS Registry recognizes assets for the balance sheet, the deal, and the audit. Each entry carries evidence, rights posture, and a P10·P50·P90 valuation band rather than metadata alone.
Do you replace our existing catalog?+
No. We integrate with existing catalogs as a source. The KRYOS Registry sits above them and adds the recognition, rights, and valuation layers they were never designed to hold.
How long does an initial registry take to stand up?+
A focused registry covering material asset classes is typically delivered in six to twelve weeks. Continuous synchronization and full-estate coverage extend from there.
What is a Data Asset Passport?+
A portable evidence file containing the asset's identity, owner, lineage, rights posture, evidence tags, and valuation band. It accompanies the asset into products, partnerships, audits, and transactions.
Who inside the client should own the registry?+
Joint ownership across the CDO and CFO is typical, with stewardship distributed to domain owners. KRYOS designs the operating model as part of the engagement.
