Protecting Your Data Through Data Governance and AI

Listen to this article

When it comes to your business’s data, it’s important to make sure it's protected from breaches, threats, and risk. Data governance is an important framework that focuses on managing, protecting, and optimising your data, including standards, policies, processes, and roles to ensure all data is secure and accurate. 

With the recent rise of AI use, it’s natural for people to wonder about how they can incorporate AI into their data governance. But, how can AI be integrated into your data governance not only safely but responsibly? 

Well, we’re glad you asked. Because we have the answers.

FAQs

Why is data governance important?

Data governance ensures that all data is stored securely and accurately. It reduces the risk of breaches and sharing and ensures compliance with data regulations.

How can AI improve my data governance?

AI can help you automate data management and security, maintain your data quality, detect any anomalies, monitor unauthorised access, and streamline your compliance process. By utilising AI in data governance, your business can significantly reduce the margin for human error, identify issues faster, enhance your data protection strategy and efficiently maintain your data integrity. 

What happens if sensitive data is shared accidentally?

If data is accidentally shared through unsecured links or public documents, there is a high possibility of data exposure and breaches. Having comprehensive data governance processes in place will help mitigate these risks by ensuring data is securely shared with authorised individuals only. 

What happens if data governance isn’t implemented correctly?

If your business’s data governance isn’t properly implemented then it’s at risk of non-compliance with data privacy laws, data breaches, and unauthorised information sharing. 

Are there any tools that can help me with data governance?

Absolutely. We recommend tools such as Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Purview to help manage and govern your data correctly and safely.
