data governance


   

Governance of data and information is an issue for all firms in all industries. Data and information governance best practices include assessing how information is used and where confidential and customer private information is captured, stored, and processed within an organization, and in the supply chain.  The process of identifying and managing Personally Identifiable Information, PII, and other confidential information is a daunting task.

However prior to governance, data quality is essential. The costs of comprised data quality are clear-billions of dollars of squandered each year due to mistakes and manual process.

In addition, information and data governance also deals with the broader issue of records management, retention and e-discovery.
