Data Governance Manager (Erl, Khattak)

A data governance manager supports a range of data management functions in support of regulatory compliance, risk management and establishing of data lineage.

A data governance manager provides information on:

• • where the dataset resides
  • who the data owner/steward is
  • what the format of the data is in
  • when the dataset was acquired
  • the source of the dataset
  • data expiry dates (if any)
  • data schema information via metadata search
  • a lineage viewer for establishing provenance

The data governance manager allows for:

• • the authoring of data retention and eviction policies
  • the establishment of data security policies that specify the conditions under which encryption is applied to a dataset or specific fields of a dataset
  • the creation of data policies that establish disaster recovery management procedures

Furthermore, a data governance manager can provide information on the level of trust and sensitivity of data. This information includes whether or not the data can be stored in a cloud environment, as well as any geographical limitations for data persistence.
