Business and IT requirements
Data governance combines business ownership, management rules and technical controls. In regulated environments, it also documents access, transformations and service providers.
We base data governance on actual flows, lineage and master data. Deliverables support IT, business and compliance teams. Our role is technical; legal interpretation remains with your legal specialists.
