Data Governance & Compliance Management
Course Info
Course Summary
Data governance and compliance management are integral components of organisational frameworks that ensure proper data handling, storage, and utilisation following legal and regulatory requirements.
Data governance encompasses the establishment of policies, procedures, and controls to effectively manage data assets throughout their lifecycle, including data quality, security, GDPR, and access. Compliance management involves adhering to relevant laws, industry regulations, and internal policies governing data usage, privacy, and security.
These practices are essential for businesses to mitigate risks associated with data breaches, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage. By implementing robust data governance and compliance management strategies, organisations can enhance data integrity, foster stakeholder trust, and support informed decision-making processes, safeguarding their operations and maintaining regulatory compliance.
