Govern at scale
Posit-deployed assets benefit from enterprise-grade governance flowing from Databricks. Posit Connect delegates viewer identity to Databricks Unity Catalog via OAuth, enforcing row and column-level security so viewers only see authorized data. Posit Package Manager provides curated, validated R and Python packages with vulnerability scanning and reproducible snapshots.

Historically, contractors manage jobsite safety based on lagging indicators and adjust their process in response. We knew we could do better. By leveraging data, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, we decided to proactively identify where risk exists on our projects and how we can eliminate that risk.
