This course is designed for a diverse audience, from beginners exploring data governance and its synergy with related initiatives, to those responsible for executing a data governance program, and professionals seeing to understand how effective data governance strengthens cyber security.

The purpose of the course is to provide participants with knowledge about:

  • why data governance is important,
  • understanding stakeholder data needs and articulating effective data governance approaches,
  • integrating data governance techniques with initiatives such as information security, data privacy, and ethics,
  • the core components of a data governance framework,
  • how to perform data governance ‘by stealth’.

Participants will explore key elements of effective data governance using real-world examples. While we’ll reference established frameworks, our emphasis is on practical application.

Upon completion, practical data governance references and templates will be provided to participants.

No specific background knowledge is required. However, a basic understanding of data and information is beneficial.
