Data is a valuable asset and as such it is used to improve products and services.
Data policies are high-level statements that define the overall approach to data management within an organization.
Data policies, procedures, and guidelines are only effective if they are enforced. This means that there must be consequences for employees who violate the policies. The consequences should be proportionate to the severity of the violation.
Data policies, procedures, and guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. This is important because the risks to data are constantly changing. The frequency of updates will depend on the specific needs of the organization.
Data policies define an organization's overall approach to data management, including collection, storage, use, and disposal. They align with legal and business goals to ensure responsible data handling.
Data procedures provide detailed steps for enforcing data policies, covering tasks like managing repositories, securing data, and responding to breaches, ensuring operational compliance.
Data guidelines offer specific advice for handling sensitive data, complying with privacy laws, and protecting against unauthorized access, helping employees navigate particular scenarios.
