What does “data governance” mean?
Data governance refers to the comprehensive framework of policies, processes, and standards that companies use to keep their content secure, accurate, and available to users throughout its lifecycle.
What are the key elements of data governance solutions?
Key elements of data governance solutions include:
- Strategic frameworks that align data management policies with organizational goals
- Companion risk mitigation solutions such as ransomware protection, insider threat detection, and sensitive-content protection that protect data and reduce the likelihood of cyberattacks
- Compliance management and automation to facilitate adherence with standards such as ISO 27001, GDPR, CPRA and PCI-DSS
- Data-quality management capabilities that keep the most current and accurate data available to users, while limiting cyberattack surface
When evaluating data governance providers, you should consider technological solutions that offer all of these capabilities, like Egnyte.
What are the best ways to improve data governance?
Powerful ways to improve data governance include:
- Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Reducing organizational data sprawl
- Restricting users’ access to information, based on their “business need to know.”
- Incorporating data backup protection into your incident response (IR) plan.
- Exploring ransomware protection and recovery solutions
Read this to blog to learn more ways to improve data governance.
What’s the downside of an ineffective data governance program?
An ineffective data governance program can limit users’ productivity, dramatically increase cyberattack probability, and escalate regulatory compliance risk. You can become more effective with data governance procedures by adopting the best practices outlined in this blog.
What does the term “data breach prevention” refer to?
Data breach prevention refers to proactive cybersecurity strategies, technological solutions, and processes that stop unauthorized access, theft, or exposure of sensitive data before it occurs. In practice, it involves controlling data access and preventing data exposure, rather than reactively responding to incidents after they occur. Although no technology solution can provide a data breach-free guarantee, data governance solutions go a long way in protecting your company against potential breaches.
