Data Governance Service

 

Control the Data in Your Care

Discover and Govern Your Data

A by-product of today’s digital business, data is everywhere throughout your ecosystem. Discovering where that data resides is a crucial first step to knowing how to manage it.

 

But governance is more than a data awareness initiative.

 

Classifying data by type and format, identifying data owners, tracing data lineage to identify the risks it poses and setting standards for change management are vital efforts that help define the policies that will govern data for its life cycle – and ultimately drive data privacy and protection requirements across your environment.

What is Data Governance?

 

Data Governance is a function that supports maturing organizations data management practices, leading to data that is:

 

  • Organized
  • Usable (better quality)
  • Accessible
  • Audited
  • Managed
  • Documented 
  • Trusted
  • Secure

 

Data Governance can mitigate programmatic and technical risks, aids in regulatory compliance, positions data as a strategic asset, and makes data operations more efficient.
