What Is Data Governance?
Data governance is a framework that is developed through the collaboration of individuals with various roles and responsibilities. This framework aims to establish processes, policies, procedures, standards, and metrics that help organizations achieve their goals. These goals include providing reliable data for business operations, setting accountability, and authoritativeness, developing accurate analytics to assess performance, complying with regulatory requirements, safeguarding data, ensuring data privacy, and supporting the data management life cycle.
Creating a Data Governance Board or Steering Committee is a good first step when integrating a Data Governance program and framework. An organization’s governance framework should be circulated to all staff and management, so everyone understands the changes taking place.
