# Governance[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/governance/index.html#governance "Permalink to this headline")

Governance in Dataiku is managed from a central place: the Govern node. Just like Automation and Deployer nodes, the Govern node is an additional node in your Dataiku cluster.

The Govern node allows you to:

* Govern all your data and analytics initiatives (incl. projects, models, model versions, bundles, etc.)

* Prevent deployment of projects or models without a signoff in Govern

* Monitor models that have been deployed and their performance over time
