Data Governance

The framework of policies, roles, standards, processes and controls that ensures data is managed as an asset: secure, high quality, compliant and usable.

Definition

Governance defines decision rights and accountability (owners, stewards, councils), data policies, quality standards, metadata, lineage, access control and compliance. Platform tools include Microsoft Purview, Unity Catalog, Snowflake Horizon, Dataplex and Collibra.

Exam tip

Governance sets the rules and accountability; data management executes them.
