Data governance

What is data governance?

Data governance refers to the systematic approach to managing data in a company. The aim is to ensure the quality, consistency, security and availability of data. Data governance defines guidelines and responsibilities to ensure that data is used efficiently and at the same time complies with legal regulations such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

Advantages and areas of application

Effective data governance improves data integrity and minimizes security risks. Companies benefit from better data analysis and can make informed decisions. Data governance is particularly important in areas such as finance, healthcare and logistics, where large volumes of sensitive data are processed. Implementation includes defining responsibilities, data policies and the use of data management tools.
