"Unity Catalog allows us to deliver data in the safest and most compliant way for our customers. Given the liability involved, that is not something we take lightly." - Javi Asensio, Head of Data and Analytics Engineering, Kraken

Kraken, the operating system for utilities, supports approximately 85 million contracted accounts across 13 countries. With Unity Catalog and Delta Sharing, Kraken is building a governed data foundation that helps utility providers access data securely, while giving internal teams better visibility across a complex, multi-account environment.

Key highlights:

95% of governance needs met natively: System tables and the Unity Catalog API provide visibility into access, queries, endpoints, and resource usage without relying on third-party tooling.
Data sharing in 1 day instead of 1.5 weeks: Delta Sharing helps Kraken make data available to clients faster, especially for customers already using Databricks.
Secure, fine-grained access: Account isolation, data masking, and role-based controls help protect sensitive personal, financial, and smart-meter data across regulated markets.
One governance layer at scale: Unity Catalog helps Kraken manage access, auditability, and compliance across dedicated Databricks environments for each client.
