Best Practices for Good Enterprise Data Governance Guide

 

Good Data GovernanceWhat is Enterprise Data Governance?

In short, corporate data governance is how an organization manages, analyzes and ultimately leverages data to make business decisions. At its core, business-led data governance combines people, processes, and technology to ensure that data within an organization is available, usable, consistent, reliable, and secure. A governance plan supports compliance and provides the tools for improved C-suite decision making.

To support these goals, the governance team is responsible for managing user access and ensuring that enterprise stakeholders have what they need when they need it. In addition, the goal of a control program is for protecting data from loss, corruption, inaccuracies, and unauthorized access.

People, Processes, and Technology

People

It is critical to understand that data authority is not just the domain of IT. Ideally, people throughout an organization should be included in the data management plan, including executives, IT professionals, and various other stakeholders within the enterprise familiar with relevant data structures. Having the key people involved increases buy-in from end-users and increases the likelihood of leveraging the organization’s data.

Accordingly, some organizations include Chief Data Officers as part of the C-suite executives to play the lead advocate for their governance program. Organizations usually also staff data managers and other IT pros to execute hands-on implementation. Additionally, the people structure is likely to include a committee that includes representation from across the organization. It is through this body that enterprise collaboration comes into play.

  Process

In data governance, process is where the work happens. Thus, governance processes are the connective tissue within the practice of data governance. From establishing, implementing, and evaluating policies and procedures to measuring and reporting, the application of the governance protocol is a series of careful steps designed to support the organization’s mission and goals.

 Technology

Finally, if people are the who and process is the what, then technology is the how. Technology provides the tools and the infrastructure to support an organization’s data program through maintaining accessibility, security, reliability, quality and more.

 

Good Data Governance
