Data Policies
Effectively manage and
communicate data policies

Overview
Data policies are crucial to enterprises because they create boundaries for data use and mitigate risks. Traditionally, policies are defined in siloes without input from business users. This creates obstacles to using data effectively for business objectives and hinders adherence to policies.
