Required

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

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.

Learning Outcomes
