What is Data Governance?
Data Governance is the framework of policies, processes, and roles that guide how an organization manages its data assets to maximize their quality, security, and value. It involves defining standards, ensuring compliance, and enabling consistent use of data across the business. Within this framework, data stewards play a central role - they develop policies, monitor and improve data quality, collect and organize metadata, document business and technical data elements, classify data and sensitive information, and ensure data remains usable and trustworthy.
