What is Data Governance?

What is Data Governance?

Data governance is the practice of managing data availability, usability, integrity, and security to ensure it is properly used and trusted throughout an organization.


One of the key components of modern data governance is the use of knowledge graphs, which help visualize and manage relationships between data, systems, and policies. By mapping out the flow of data across the organization, knowledge graphs provide insights into potential risks and vulnerabilities in the data lifecycle, making it easier to apply security measures at every stage.

By incorporating knowledge graphs into data governance, a data platform can offer a holistic view of the organization’s data landscape, ensuring that data remains secure and compliant while minimizing the risks associated with data breaches and non-compliance. This approach not only helps meet regulatory requirements but also builds trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
