Data Governance & Compliance
Data Governance & Compliance refers to the strategic management of data assets to ensure data integrity, security, usability, and regulatory adherence. It involves defining clear policies, procedures, and responsibilities for data ownership, access control, and risk mitigation. A well-established data governance framework enables organizations to manage data quality, standardization, security, and accountability effectively. Data compliance ensures that businesses adhere to legal and industry-specific regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC2, safeguarding sensitive data from breaches and misuse.
Why is Data Governance & Compliance Important?
Without proper data governance, organizations face inconsistent data, security risks, and compliance violations, which can lead to financial penalties, reputational damage, and operational inefficiencies. Regulatory bodies enforce strict data protection laws, requiring businesses to implement structured policies for handling sensitive information. Data Governance & Compliance ensures accountability, transparency, and controlled access, reducing the risk of unauthorized modifications, data loss, and breaches. By enforcing audit logs, access controls, and encryption, businesses can protect sensitive information, enhance data accuracy, and foster trust with customers and stakeholders.
