In a highly regulated business environment, it is a challenging task for IT organizations to manage data-related risks and compliance issues. Despite investing in the data value chain, C-suites often do not recognize the value of a robust data governance framework, eventually leading to a lack of data governance in organizations. Therefore, a well-defined data governance framework is needed to help in risk management and ensure that the organization can fulfill the demands of compliance with regulations, along with the state and legal requirements on data management.
