Data orchestration for enterprise.

Governed pipelines across legacy estates and cloud warehouses. Contract-tested, lineage-aware, built for customers who own their data.

Overview

Data orchestration infrastructure for enterprise, built to the standard institutions in this sector are required to operate.

XVICA designs, builds, and operates this layer for enterprise clients in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia. The work is specified against the regulatory regime, the operational profile, and the examination expectations of this sector before any code is written.

01Why it matters

What enterprise cannot get wrong here.

The data platform bill rises faster than the analytical output it produces.
Schema changes break reports nobody knew existed.
Data quality issues surface in quarterly earnings, not in engineering.
Central data teams bottleneck analytical work across every division.

02Regulatory posture

Named regimes, mapped controls

Regulatory requirements are translated into explicit control requirements, then mapped to tests and evidence collection. Nothing is implied.

Information standards

ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and sector overlays (IEC 62443 for industrial, NERC CIP for energy) where applicable.

Privacy & data protection

GDPR Article 30 records of processing, UK Data Protection Act 2018, CCPA, and jurisdiction-specific residency constraints.

Sector overlays

Sarbanes-Oxley s.404 data controls for listed entities, FERC/NERC for energy, and commercial-contract audit rights as applicable.

03Reference architecture

Design decisions distinctive to this intersection

Components and design choices that recur across our work for this sector. Each deployment is specified individually.

Federated ownership

Producing domains own their data products. The platform enforces contracts rather than centralising ownership.

Lineage across legacy and cloud

Mainframe extracts, SAP modules, SaaS exports, and cloud-native pipelines are all first-class citizens in the lineage graph.

Quality gates at the contract

Producer cannot ship a breaking change without updating the contract and the consumers that depend on it.

Cost observable, not assumed

Compute and storage cost attributed per pipeline and per consumer. Governance decisions have cost-visible inputs.

Data product catalogue

Discoverable, reviewable, with documented owners and SLAs. Reduces shadow pipelines.

04XVICA's approach

How we work in enterprise.

Enterprise data estates accumulate complexity faster than they accumulate discipline. Our approach is to stop trying to centralise ownership and start governing the interfaces between owners. Producing domains keep authority over their data products; the platform enforces explicit contracts, lineage, and quality gates between them. What this typically dismantles is the informal economy of shadow pipelines that forms when the central team becomes a bottleneck: analysts stop scraping production databases because a supported contract is faster; finance stops maintaining reconciliation spreadsheets because the upstream contract now guarantees what it needs; cost stops being a year-end surprise because every pipeline has an attributable owner. The platform is supporting infrastructure for that discipline, not a substitute for it.
