Course Overview

Data is one of the most valuable assets in today’s digital economy, but without proper structure, compliance, and accountability, it can quickly become a liability. Data Governance and Compliance ensures that organizations manage data effectively, maintain accuracy, comply with regulatory requirements, and safeguard privacy. Learning how to deploy these practices is essential for professionals seeking to build trust, minimize risks, and maximize the value of organizational data.

This course begins with an introduction to data governance, its importance, and the benefits it brings to organizations. Learners will then explore governance frameworks, operating models, and policy creation. The course dives into roles and responsibilities, compliance, privacy, and security measures while also covering data lifecycle, retention, and disposition. Best practices and pitfalls are analyzed in detail, followed by real-world case studies from industries such as finance and onboarding. Finally, the course concludes with a summary of the value of governance and actionable takeaways for professionals.

This chapter-driven course equips learners with practical frameworks, governance models, compliance strategies, and real-world applications to strengthen data-driven decision-making, enhance accountability, and ensure sustainable organizational success.
