              Eight Guiding Principles of Information Governance

              Every organization approaches Information Governance differently. In fact, standard frameworks are often customized to the unique needs, desires, and culture of a firm. However, most adhere to a series of guiding principles upon which Information Governance decisions around policies, procedures, and standards are based and evolve over time. The following series of principles have been adapted from The Data Governance Institute.

              Principle #1 - Integrity
              Information Governance participants will practice integrity with their dealings with each other; they will be truthful and forthcoming when discussing drivers, constraints, options, and impacts for data-related decisions.

              Principle #2 - Transparency
              Information Governance and Stewardship processes will exhibit transparency. It should be clear to all participants and auditors how and when data-related decisions and controls were introduced into business processes.

              Principle #3 - Auditability
              Any data-related decisions, processes, and controls subject to governance will be auditable. They will be accompanied by documentation to support compliance-based and operational auditing requirements, as applicable.

              Principle #4 - Accountability
              Information Governance will define accountabilities for cross-functional data-related decisions, processes, and controls.

              Principle #5 - Stewardship
              Information Governance will define accountabilities for stewardship activities that are the responsibilities of individual contributors, as well as accountabilities for groups of Data Stewards.

              Principle #6 - Checks-and-Balances
              Information Governance will define accountabilities in a manner that introduces checks-and-balances between business and technology teams as well as between those who create/collect information, those who manage it, those who use it, and those who introduce standards and compliance requirements.

              Principle #7 - Standardization
              Information Governance will introduce and support standardization of enterprise data.

              Principle #8 - Change Management
              Information Governance will support proactive and reactive Change Management activities for reference data values and the structure/use of master data and metadata.
