In today’s booming digital economy, data has become the most important business , small-scale or large-scale, across the world. With the plethora of data available, it has also become easier to breach the privacy of businesses and hack into confidential and sensitive business information.

Major names such as Facebook, Sony, Yahoo, LinkedIn and many more have been the victim of major data breaches and cyber-attacks in the past decade, leading to leaks of user’s private information all across the internet.

This has led to the birth of the concept known as “Data Governance”. Data Governance deals with all aspects of protecting and enabling the correct use of business data.

These include a wide range of terms such as policies, processes, standards and other such metrics that help create a structured approach to the effective handling of data and eliminate misuse in any way, shape or form. It can be said that Data Governance goes one step further than Data Management by bringing certain laws and regulations into the picture.

A solid data governance model helps businesses understand the flow of information, the gaps as well as opportunities to improve upon, delivered to you in the form of reliable and actionable insights.
