Course Description
Data governance is a comprehensive system of processes, policies, guidelines, and metrics used to manage data. It ensures the data’s quality, availability, integrity, security, and usability. Data governance creates a structured framework for data usage and processing. It’s different from data privacy as it covers all aspects of managing data within an organization, from its creation and storage to its usage and disposal. But how do you know if data governance is needed?
In this course on Data Privacy and Governance, you will learn how to implement data governance to ensure data quality through data lifecycle management, security, stewardship, and metadata management. You will learn about the various roles involved in managing data and how to determine data ownership. We will also go over the issues that can arise if data is not managed properly—from misuse to inaccuracies. By the end of this course, you’ll be prepared to make ethical decisions while utilizing data governance.
