Data Governance describes all processes that aim to ensure the traceability, quality and protection of data.
With the effort to use more and more data from different sources for decision making and through the technical possibilities of integration in Data Warehouses or Data Lake, the need for documentation and traceability increases exponentially. Questionable data provides questionable information that is used by automated (AI) processes and provides questionable decisions. Data Governance describes and unifies data, documents data quality and processes, and ultimately protects it from unauthorized use.
