Why a data governance framework is indispensable

Your organisation has more and more data at its disposal, but without a clear structure and agreements, chaos threatens. Think of duplicate data sets, unreliable reports or risks of data leaks. A strong data governance framework helps you get a grip on your data, limit risks and improve collaboration. It forms the backbone of a reliable, secure and future-oriented data policy.

What is a data governance framework?

A data governance framework is the action plan you use to shape your data policy. It defines the rules, roles, processes and technologies needed to manage data correctly, securely and efficiently.

The framework ensures that agreements on data quality, ownership, access rights and compliance are not merely optional, but embedded in the functioning of your organisation. In this way, data is not only managed, but also truly utilised as strategic capital.

The 4 pillars of a data governance framework

A strong framework rests on four fundamental pillars. Together, they ensure a workable, scalable and future-oriented approach:

People: Ensure clear roles. Who is responsible for which data?
Processes: Establish agreements on how data is managed and used.
Technology: Use tools that help to keep data secure and organised.
Contributors: Involve both IT and business. Everyone must be on board.

From structure to insights: get more out of your data

A sound data governance framework ensures reliable, accessible, and well-managed data. This provides the ideal basis for using tools such as Power BI to generate valuable insights that will help your organisation move forward.
