About Data Governance

Data Governance is an organizational responsibility, including ownership of the processes and policies, by which information is captured, maintained, and consumed to ensure proper handling of data across an organization.

A strong Data Governance program may reduce IT costs, improve the quality of data, and shorten response time to meet compliance requirements. Conversely, poor Data Governance may increase the risks of a data breach and significantly limit the organization’s return on investment (ROI) on its data assets.

Learn more about data governance by reviewing the fundamentals, guidance, best practices, and see the technologies Microsoft provides to apply the process in your organization.
