An organisation governs only the dashboards its executives see, leaving the underlying tables uncontrolled. What risk does this create?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If you govern only the dashboard, you're governing one presentation path. The table underneath is still there, still queryable by anyone with an engine connection, and that's where the control needed to sit.
Full Explanation
The correct answer is the option stating that anyone with query access reaches the source data directly, so the governed dashboard is a control over one presentation path only. Governing outputs rather than sources controls a single consumption path. Any user who can connect an engine, open a query workspace or use a driver reaches the underlying table with none of the dashboard's restrictions applied.
The claim that dashboards will fail to refresh because their sources are not registered is incorrect because dashboard refresh depends on registration and connectivity, which is unrelated to where policy is applied.
The claim that tables cannot be included in lineage until a dashboard governs them is incorrect because lineage tracks data assets and their processing independently of whether a dashboard consumes them.
The claim that query engines refuse to read tables that no dashboard consumes is incorrect because engines read registered tables regardless of downstream consumers.
For the exam, govern at the source: control the data, and every consumption path inherits it.
