Effective data governance ensures that data is consistent and trustworthy and doesn’t get misused. It’s increasingly critical as organisations face new data privacy regulations and rely more and more on data analytics to help optimise operations and drive business decision-making.

This module, Digital Data Governance Frameworks and Standards, provides participants an understanding of data governance in today’s digital and regulatory environment using the ISO/IEC 38505 standard.

Participants will learn to apply data governance principles and set up their data governance framework aligned to their business strategy.
