CLOSING BCBS 239 GAPS WITH TACTICAL DATA LINEAGE USE CASE

CHALLENGE

In a financial institution:

  • BCBS 239 gaps demand greater transparency, traceability, and control of risk data.

  • OSI (On-site inspections) findings exposed weaknesses in key data process management.

  • No standard tools or methods for end-to- end business data lineage.

SOLUTION

  • Tactical business data lineage: centralized, transparent framework for consistent tracking.

  • Data repository: single source defining critical data, origins, usage, and business rules.

  • Data quality framework: governance standards for key data, documenting attributes, business rules, and golden sources.

  • KRI lineage management: structured, reusable approach to prioritize RWA and Expected Loss in key reports (e.g.: COREP) across teams.

IMPACT

  • Strengthened BCBS 239 compliance and 90% OSI remediation.

  • Established business data lineage framework.

  • Improved data governance and quality control embedded in BAU and scalable for future tactical use.
