Data Stewardship
Follow your legal and regulatory requirements:
• These are typically defined by policies, which you may help to create
• Requirements often have well-established pathways to work within or around them
• You may have to work with Security, Disaster Recover, and Backup teams
Understand your requirements for accuracy, precision, currency, etc.
• Remember that you can never recover a loss in any of these dimensions
• But you do not have to retain the highest levels at all times, in all systems
Enforce proper terminology and data classification
Define the flow of data, where it is gathered, and how it is used to further your
organizational strategy
