FAQs
Data Governance & Enablement is a framework for managing data as a strategic asset. It involves:
✔ Policies & Standards: Defining rules for data quality, security, and compliance (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
✔ Roles & Accountability: Assigning data stewards, owners, and custodians.
✔ Technology Enablement: Implementing tools (e.g., Collibra, Informatica) for metadata management, lineage tracking, and access control.
While Data Management focuses on technical execution (storage, integration), Data Governance ensures:
✔ Regulatory Compliance (e.g., HIPAA, SOX).
✔ Business Alignment (e.g., KPIs tied to data quality).
✔ Stakeholder Collaboration (IT, legal, and business teams).
Data Management builds a data lake; Governance ensures only authorized users access PII within it.
Industries with high compliance risk or data-driven decision-making:
Finance: Fraud detection (requires clean, auditable data).
Healthcare: Patient records (HIPAA mandates).
Retail: Customer analytics (CCPA/CPRA compliance).
Small Businesses? Yes! Start with a lightweight framework (e.g., assign a data steward + basic catalog).
Track these KPIs:
✔ Data Quality Score (% of error-free records).
✔ Policy Adoption Rate (e.g., 90% of teams using the catalog).
✔ Incident Reduction (e.g., 50% fewer compliance violations).
| Tool Type | Examples | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogs | Collibra, Alation | Metadata management. |
| Lineage | Informatica, Manta | Audit trails for regulators. |
| Quality | Talend, Trifacta | Cleansing duplicate/outdated data. |
| Access Control | Immuta, Privacera | Enforce GDPR "right to access" rules. |
Open Source Option: Apache Atlas (limited support).
AI introduces new challenges/opportunities:
✔ Automation: AI classifies sensitive data (e.g., Microsoft Purview).
✔ Risks: LLMs trained on ungoverned data may violate copyrights.
Solution: Extend governance to AI models (e.g., track training data sources).
