Understanding the Fundamentals of Data Governance
Learn the core aspects of data governance to process data with confidence and consistency.
What Is Data Governance and Why Is It Critical?
The term data governance refers to an array of practices and processes organizations use to ensure reliable and organized management of data assets. Proper data governance gives organizations repeatable processes and systems that streamline the following:
- How data is acquired
- How data is managed
- How data is maintained
- How data is used across an organization
With effective data governance, organizations keep data assets accurate and secure while making them available across departments as needed. Data governance also helps ensure data compliance, reduce data management costs, and improve strategic decision-making throughout the organization. Through data governance, organizations can better measure the success of their initiatives, securely store staff and customer data, understand patterns in sales data, and much more.
The Pillars of Effective Data Governance
Implementing effective data governance requires the optimization of several key pillars. The main pillars of effective data governance are as follows:
- Discovery: This pillar involves gaining an understanding of all of the different data assets an organization has on-premises, in the cloud, and in SaaS applications.
- Classification: Data governance also involves assigning data to different categories. These categories can include customer data, product data, sales data, and financial data.
- Policy: Organizations must decide what data types to keep, how to store them, and what to do with different data types or categories.
- Rules: In data governance, rules help enforce policies. As an example, organizations that store personally identifiable data about customers or staff must properly mask that data to ensure security and compliance.
- Metadata: Logging metadata is the process of repackaging and labeling useful data. This process tells users about the data itself so they can easily find and use it.
Ensuring Data Quality Management Through Automation
Tools for automated data governance such as WhereScape 3D contribute to maintaining high data quality standards. These tools not only increase efficiency by automating repetitive tasks, they also reduce errors and ensure that data quality management and classification remain consistent, accurate, and trustworthy.
Navigating Data Governance and Compliance with Confidence
Various pillars of data governance intersect directly with regulatory compliance around handling data. These regulations cannot be taken lightly, as breaching them can have long-term negative impacts on your organization and your customers. Instead of handling compliance manually where human error is likely to occur occasionally, organizations can opt for automated data governance tools that automate compliance tasks like data tracking, documentation, and masking.

The Evolving Landscape of Automated Data Governance
Automated data governance technology is changing and evolving quickly. Increasingly, organizations are coming to appreciate data as a strategic asset and implement processes that recognize and leverage this fact. At the same time, regulatory requirements are increasing constantly to protect data privacy.
These key factors are paving the way for various trends in the future of data governance:
- Increased reliance on automation, AI, blockchain, and machine learning technologies
- More awareness and greater regulations on data privacy and security
- Renewed focus on data quality management as more teams rely on data for large decisions
- Growing suite of regulatory technology (RegTech)
As the scale and complexity of data governance continue to grow, the reliance on automation technology like WhereScape will as well.
