Data governance is the system of internal policies that organizations use to manage, access, and secure enterprise data. While systems may vary in complexity from organization to organization, they always have some common features: internal processes, policies, defined roles, metrics, and compliance standards. The goal of the system is to help people efficiently and securely use the vast amounts of data generated by today’s enterprises.
The importance of data security cannot be overstated. To that end, well-designed data governance accounts for not only data protection but also management of sensitive data from intake to disposal.
Companies are increasingly developing, using, and adopting technology solutions to streamline business operations and deliver increased value to customers. This digital transformation generates increased volumes of data (from sources like internal processes and external metrics) and breaks down information silos within organizations. So how can organizations keep it all organized?
The answer is data governance. Secure data governance keeps data organized and consistent, defines who can and cannot access data, and helps organizations handle data—especially customer data— in compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
Well-designed data governance fits an organization’s needs—the data capacity, the permissions, the compliance requirements—both in the present and in the future. The most successful systems are designed to grow as an organization changes.
