Season 5, Episode 7: Data governance

In the seventh episode of season 5 of the Compliance Clarified podcast, Susannah Hammond is joined by Mike Cowan to look at the compliance challenges posed by data governance. In a digital age more than ever, firms need to embrace the fact that data is a vital strategic asset and from there build a business-wide approach to data aggregation, management, storage, security, retrieval, and destruction — in other words, build a business-specific approach to data governance. The successful governance of data will have multiple benefits one of which will be a direct improvement in the compliance function’s capacity to have line of sight to the regulatory risks being run by the business.
