Why Data Stewardship Matters

Without clear data ownership, issues fall through the cracks. Data gets messy, compliance risks grow, and no one knows who is responsible for fixes. Our stewardship programs define roles and workflows—so data stays accurate, usable, and secure.

Everyone knows their role. Problems are fixed quickly, and compliance isn’t left to chance.

Where Does Stewardship Add Value?

Data Quality Ownership

Know exactly who is responsible for fixing data issues, how they’re resolved, and who to contact for each dataset.

Example: A retail chain improves reporting accuracy by mapping every dataset to an accountable steward.

Compliance Stewardship

Assign stewardship for privacy and regulatory compliance—so audits go smoothly and risks are minimized.

Example: A healthcare organization reduces HIPAA risk by establishing clear data ownership and compliance stewards for patient records.

Access & Issue Management

Streamline access requests and resolve data conflicts with defined workflows and escalation paths.

Example: A city government cuts turnaround time for data requests and error fixes with a new stewardship workflow and approval process.

Stewardship Onboarding & Training

Onboard new stewards, train users, and build a culture of data accountability—supported by tools, dashboards, and regular communication.

Example: A manufacturer launches a stewardship program and sees improved data quality and faster onboarding for new analysts.
