The term data governance framework is particularly at home in the areas of big data and smart data, digital transformation and cybercrime and cybersecurity. It is about how companies and organisations organise the handling of their data responsibly and securely.
A data governance framework is a set of rules that defines who is responsible for which data in the company and how this data is stored, used, protected and controlled. This framework ensures that data is handled reliably, correctly and in compliance with the law.
Imagine a large company collects customer data from various sources: from online shops, customer service or social media. Without clear rules, employees could access too much important data or accidentally store the wrong data. A data governance framework regulates exactly who is authorised to see and process which information. This greatly reduces the risk of data misuse or data loss.
A good data governance framework therefore helps to better protect data and utilise it specifically for business decisions. At the same time, it ensures that companies can comply with important legal requirements, such as data protection, more easily.
