+Image prompt:

+Flat vector illustration, dark slate blue background (#314351), wide 1.91:1 banner. A clean modern data dashboard interface floating in the centre showing a data grid/table with a search bar and filter icons. Around it, a neat ring of small white and light-grey icons representing governance features: a padlock (security), a magnifying glass over rows (audit), two checkmarks side by side (4-eyes approval), an envelope (email alerts), an Excel/spreadsheet icon with an upward arrow (upload), a branching flow diagram (workflow/lineage), and a shield with a tick (data quality). Thin connecting lines link the icons to the central dashboard, suggesting control and flow. Minimal, professional, corporate SaaS style; subtle depth with soft shadows; accent colour a muted red-orange (#d3531a) used sparingly on one or two icons. No text, no words, no letters. High contrast, crisp edges, suitable as a LinkedIn post image.
