In an era where data drives decision-making, the integrity of data is paramount. Data integrity refers to the accuracy, consistency and reliability of data throughout its lifecycle. Ensuring data integrity is essential for organizations to make informed decisions, maintain trust and comply with regulations. One of the most effective ways to enhance data integrity is through robust data governance. Tech Target brought this important topic to our attention in their article, “How data governance contributes to a data-driven culture.“
Data governance is a comprehensive framework that encompasses the policies, processes and standards for managing an organization’s data assets. It involves defining the roles, responsibilities and procedures for ensuring the effective and efficient use of data. The goal is to ensure that data is managed as a valuable asset, providing high-quality, secure and accessible information to stakeholders.
Data governance enforces uniform standards and practices across the organization, ensuring that data is consistent and comparable. This uniformity reduces discrepancies and improves the reliability of data.
Adhering to data governance policies helps organizations comply with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Compliance not only prevents legal issues but also ensures that data handling practices are ethical and secure. Organizations that invest in robust data governance frameworks can trust their data, comply with regulations and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.
