Scope:

Note: CIO Strategy Council announced an organizational name change to the Digital Governance Council (DGC), effective January 30, 2023 and the creation of a new standards development division, Digital Governance Standards Institute (DGSI). Note: The title, standard designation, scope and project need for this NOI (originally published on June 18, 2019) were updated by the responsible SDO on March 1, 2022. Scope: This proposed standard enumerates an organized structure for the Data Governance domain. This proposed standard will provide a common taxonomy for those subjects which comprise the field of data governance to provide a consistent direction across the many related elements. Considerations are given to: - Data governance principles; - Legal and policy considerations; - Processes; - Organizational structures; - Standards/Best Practice; and - Technologies. This standard applies to all organizations, including public and private companies, government entities, and not-for-profit organizations.

Project need:

Data governance standards development have been evolving organically within the CIOSC with efforts focused on prioritized themes. Through the development of these standards, editors have recognized that multiple standards have provided direction on common themes outside of the core scope of the standard in question. This overlap risks the potential of having conflicting direction in broader theme of data governance, creates challenges of discoverability of requirements for one domain hidden within completely different subjects and creates complexity of maintenance of requirements across several disparate standards. By creating a thematic or subject oriented structure, data governance standards development can focus on specific requirements and incorporate other related standards by reference.
