Data Governance
Unlock the full potential of your data
The reliable framework for your data-driven decisions
When it comes to data-driven decision-making, opportunities and risks are deeply intertwined. On one side, a thorough analysis of the gathered data presents significant chances to stand out against competitors and navigate ever-evolving markets.
On the other side, mishandling data in an unprofessional manner can swiftly result in penalties or harm to one's reputation, transforming what was once seen as an advantage into a disadvantage. The risk of this is heightened due to the continuous need to adhere to new legislation and guidelines. Furthermore, advancements in technology, particularly the incorporation of AI, introduce a multitude of fresh compliance hurdles.
Making decisions based on data in a complex environment necessitates a governance structure across the organization that is built on trust. This approach reduces risks and guarantees that data is managed effectively through well-defined framework conditions. It creates a safe space for employees to deliver valuable analytical outcomes.
Because your approach to data is as individual as your corporate culture, we design your data governance based on your specific requirements and individual situation. It is important that your data governance framework fits your organization, your business and your employees like a tailor-made suit.
Based on your data strategy, we will identify the most appropriate organizational form (data organization) for you, tailored with specific content. The range of options includes centralized, decentralized, and hybrid forms. Each form presents opportunities as well as challenges. The most suitable form depends on various framework conditions, which we analyze in a systematic and sustainable manner.
We collaborate with you to create the appropriate data governance framework and assist you in its implementation and establishment.

Shaping areas of improvement for successful data governance
How mature is your organization when it comes to handling data? Our preliminary study provides you with guidance!
Utilizing our established maturity assessment, we employ carefully chosen questionnaires and interviews to evaluate the current state of your organization and pinpoint areas that require attention. This approach ensures that all participants have a clear focus on reaching your corporate objectives. Following the assessment findings, we assist you in defining the objective for your tailored data governance.
Effective data governance necessitates well-defined processes to guarantee the quality, security, and availability of data. We assist you in creating efficient and up-to-date processes.
Roles and responsibilities are essential to ensure balanced security and efficiency. A carefully designed role and authorization structure provides comprehensive control over your data. By establishing clear definitions, you ensure that the appropriate individuals have access to the necessary resources, while also safeguarding against unauthorized access.
Get a comprehensive perspective on your data: We assist you in choosing, configuring, and managing a data catalog that maps your data sources and metadata.
Each role is assigned its tasks, responsibilities and competencies. This creates clarity and transparency.
Data is a valuable economic asset that deserves safeguarding. Consistent, responsible, and ethical conduct across the entire organization is essential when handling data. Beyond legal requirements like data protection laws, the EU AI Act, or internal compliance guidelines, it is also important to adhere to professional rules or standards that enhance data quality for all data consumers.
Sobald der Rahmen definiert ist, werden schrittweise die benötigten Rollen und Befugnisse, Verantwortlichkeiten und Aufgaben, Prozesse sowie Richtlinien und Standards aufgebaut und in einem Datenkatalog Ihrer Wahl zentral verwaltet. Damit schaffen Sie Transparenz und legen den Grundstein für eine nachhaltige Datendemokratisierung.
