Data governance
Data governance
It all usually started with a small data warehouse where we stored all of our valuable data, but to properly analyze the information, we created a datamart. If we were fancy, we created a multidimensional cube on top of the datamart and with a fancy business intelligence tool we could slice and dice as much as we wanted. It was a controlled environment, usually with one or two people involved in all parts of the process. They oversaw the structure, the timing, the quality and if we needed to secure the data, they handled that as well somehow.
Aside from the obvious dependency on key people, the solution was being challenged from all angles. New requirements, new types of data, or new types of users all demanded more and faster access to information. Eventually, it became clear that the solution required some kind of governance, and data governance became a necessity in all organizations that wanted to be data driven.
Understanding data governance
Data governance refers to the overall management and control of an organization’s data assets to ensure their availability, usability, integrity, and security. It involves the development and implementation of policies, processes, and standards to manage data throughout its lifecycle. The primary goal of data governance is to establish a framework that ensures data is treated as a valuable business asset and is used effectively to support business objectives.
Key components of data governance include:
- Data quality management
- Metadata management
- Masterdata management
- Data security and privacy
