Data Governance
A data governance program provides an organized framework (i.e., policies, procedures, guidelines, roles/responsibilities) for how people behave and make decisions about data.
Objectives
- Ensure data across all core systems are accurate, complete and secure.
- Improve and promote data understanding.
- Increase confidence in the data.
- Ensure community members have the appropriate level of access to core systems needed to perform their jobs.
- Reduce shadow systems, inefficiencies and inaccuracies.
- Establish procedures for community awareness and compliance.
- Minimize exposure to security threats, decisions based on inaccurate data and costly errors.
