Data Governance

What is Data Governance?

It is the ability to “govern” the data. Who can access the data and what can they do with it are important questions in data governance.

Highlights of a Data Governance strategy include:

  • Audit
    • Is there an automated auditing system?
    • How do you know when a security breach has occurred?
  • PII
    • Is the system avoiding the storage of Personally Identifiable Information?
  • Data Integrity
    • How are you ensuring that your data is not corrupted?
  • Disaster Recovery
    • What is your disaster recovery plan and how do you know it works? Did you test the backups?
  • Encrypt
    • Do you encrypt data at transit and at rest?
  • Model Explainability
    • Are you sure you could recreate the model? Do you really know how it works and is it explainable.
