Information and Data Governance Framework

An information and data governance framework sets your business up for good information and data practices.

An information and data governance framework is crucial for businesses who want to holistically manage and improve information and data practices. A governance framework ensures that a business not only has an agreed-upon set of principles and practices around information and data management but it also ensures that the business can self-assess and audit its practices.

The framework includes policies, procedures and guidelines to ensure all levels of your business are practicing good information and data management.

What is an information and data governance framework?

An information and data governance framework is a suite of policies, procedures and guidelines to set guiding principles and assign responsibility for information and data practices in the business.

The information and data framework can incorporate a range of policies, procedures and guidelines such as privacy, data security, information management and retention and disposal practices.
