Data Attestation focuses on data currency. You use Attestation to verify that a CI record represents a resources that still exists in your organization. If a CI record fails attestation (e.g. the resource it represents no longer exists) then it becomes a candidate for being retired and removed from the CMDB.
Data Certification focuses on data quality. Fields in records (in CMDB or non-CMDB tables) are reviewed for accuracy and can be updated, or marked as failed and subsequently updated with accurate values.

Hi,
Yes, the legacy Data Certification plugin is being deprecated as it is being replaced with the Data Certification capability based on CMDB Data Manager and included with CMDB Workspace. The new capability became available in the February store release of CMDB Workspace and will continue to be updated.
Data Manager includes a migration utility that will process Certification Schedules and Certification Filters from the legacy version and create draft Certification policies. The migration utility does not migrate certification tasks from the legacy version - these will need to be managed and closed in the legacy version.
The legacy version can continue to be used, however the plugin is no longer available for installation on new instances and support will end when it is deprecated.

@Tony Branton, regarding your previous comment on 03/27/2024 "Certification is not limited to just CI classes and can be used to certify data in Location tables, Group tables, etc."
Since legacy Data Certification is being deprecated, does CMDB Data Manager work with non-CMDB tables? If not, what can we use to continue certifying non-CMDB tables that is supported by ServiceNow?

Yes, it works with non-CMDB tables just as with the legacy version.

Do you know if ServiceNow is going to add back in the option to assign to a field on the table.
Previously, we assigned certifications to the "Product Owner" using the assign_to field in the cert_schedule.assign_to table.

At first glance, it would appear that only the CMDB Admin role will have access to use the Data Certification in the CMDB Workspace. Wouldn't it make more sense to have CMDB Class Owners perform the data certification? Is there an easy way to grant access to the new version of Data Certification in the CMDB Workspace without having to grant a CMDB Admin role?
