About Herus
Herus is a modern data catalog that helps teams organize, discover, understand and design their data.
It connects to your data stack to import metadata, lineage, semantic definitions, usage insights and processing logic, while also pushing field descriptions back to databases as SQL comments.
Users can explore data through an intuitive UI, advanced filters and AI-powered search. They can trace lineage end-to-end, understand data flows and identify dependencies across analytics and dashboards.
AI reduces documentation effort by suggesting definitions, inferring lineage and enabling natural language interactions, while keeping every suggestion reviewable before validation.
Herus also includes a collaborative data board where analysts and engineers can design transformations and workflows visually before development. AI can then generate detailed specifications automatically.

Partial visibility into your data is putting your organization at risk. 1touch.io uses a unique network analytics approach, powerful ML and AI techniques together with unprecedented data lineage accuracy to continuously discover and catalog all your sensitive and protected data into a PII Inventory and a Master Data Catalog. We automatically discover and analyze all usage of data and its lineage without relying upon the organization’s knowledge of the existence or location of the data. Adding a multilayer machine learning analytic engine gives us the ability to “read and understand” the data and link all the pieces into a full picture represented as both a PII inventory and a Master Catalog. Finding your known and unknown sensitive data within your network allows for immediate risk reduction. Organizing your data flow to understand precise data lineage and business processes enables you to achieve core compliance requirements.
