Data Governance

Data Science, Analytics and AI/ML

Data governance is the overall management framework of policies, standards, and processes that ensure data across an organization is accurate, consistent, secure, and used responsibly. It defines roles and accountability—such as data stewards and owners—for maintaining data quality and regulatory compliance. Strong data governance supports better decision-making and reduces risks related to data breaches, inconsistency, and misuse.
