Checkbox Information Governance vs Effective Data Governance Explained
Data governance expert urges organizations to go beyond checkbox data compliance to decrease risk and unlock the power of their data assets--in a new article from Messaging Architects
HOBOKEN, N.J., June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and data governance expert, discusses how to improve upon checkbox information governance in a new article. The informative article first reviews how information governance often grows out of regulatory compliance.
The author then explains why compliance does not mean that data remains secure and effectively managed. He urges business leaders to move beyond checkbox information governance by building information governance into the corporate culture. He then discusses how automating processes helps and encourages a careful selection of information governance tools.
"When companies stop at checkbox information governance, they leave themselves at risk and never unlock the true power of their data assets," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects.
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Checkbox Information Governance vs Effective Data Governance."
"Instead of focusing on a compliance checklist, organizations need to build information governance into the company culture. When data privacy and security permeate everyday processes, breaches happen less often, and compliance becomes much easier."
Start with a Good Foundation
"To move beyond checkbox information governance, organizations need to build information governance into the corporate culture. This means securing executive sponsorship from the beginning and involving key stakeholders from all affected areas. While tools play an important role, the success of an information governance strategy ultimately depends on personnel."
Automation Eases the Pain
"Many businesses start information governance with good intentions, only to get bogged down by the work involved. Automating routine tasks simplifies the process while reducing the risk of errors. Good candidates for automation include data lineage and metadata management. Additionally, machine learning can play a vital role in tightening cybersecurity."
Choose Information Governance Tools Wisely
"Information governance done right involves tapping into a variety of technology resources. But not all tools deliver the same quality results. Take time to research the options available and choose tools that meet your specific needs."
