Best Approach to Store Data in Azure Gov Cloud Workspace without Unity Catalog

Our team is using a workspace Azure Gov Cloud. We would like to download files from an external source into our Workspace. Since Unity Catalog is not enabled in Azure Gov Cloud, we’re looking for the best approach for securely storing data in our workspace. Databricks recommends against storing any production data or sensitive information in the DBFS root, because it is not secure.

What is the best approach to store sensitive data in our USGOV workspace that does not use Unity Catalog? The target goal would be to store sensitive data that is only available to certain users in the workspace.

Hello!

For securely storing sensitive data in your Azure Gov Cloud workspace without Unity Catalog, use Azure Blob Storage with encryption, Azure Data Lake Storage with AAD access control, or Azure Key Vault for secrets. Managed identities can also help control access. These methods ensure data security and compliance.
