Data Governance

Making data-driven decisions without data governance is unimaginable. At Farhaon, we offer robust data governance services that ensure the traceability, quality, and protection of your data.

As organizations increasingly leverage data from diverse sources to inform decision-making and take advantage of integration possibilities in Data Warehouses or Data Lakes, there is a growing need for documentation and traceability. Reliable data is essential for generating accurate insights, as questionable data can produce misleading information that is subsequently utilized by automated processes, including AI systems, leading to questionable decisions. Data Governance encompasses processes that standardize and document data, guarantee data quality, establish procedures, and secure data against unauthorized access..

Reasons why companies should use Data Governance

Completeness

There are various reasons why a job may terminate abruptly or, worse still, data management may be left incomplete, such as a newly introduced key value, a modified source column, or a system error.

Correctness

Just because data is technically accurate doesn’t mean it’s functionally accurate. Data Governance helps establish context by cataloging data, enabling users to review and assess technical accuracy in the context of their specific use case.

Origins analysis

When considering whether to utilize a particular data asset in a given use case, the data’s lineage (i.e., its origin) is a critical factor to consider. Similarly, conducting an impact analysis can yield essential insights into what properties need to be modified when evaluating potential changes to the data.

Access protection

Access to data must be managed and controlled, either through manual or automated means, based on business or technical metadata. Additionally, data may need to be anonymized or pseudonymized to protect privacy.
