Data governance's main role is to monitor and control the health and access of the data that travels through your organization's systems. From capture and acquisition to archival and disposal, data governance assists in the maintenance and health of the valuation score of your business' data sets. Organizations can have a more defensible position regarding data recovery through data governance.
Through Resultant's Govern by Design approach, organizations can maintain compliance as well as address enterprise and vendor risk management, identify various issues, and offer remediation from several angles. Data governance comes down to the protection it offers, so if something were to occur, the data recovery process isn't halted due to issues or systems that were left unchecked.
Data governance also functions as a strong, supportive layer when preventing ransomware's effects from spreading. Data governance meets the needs of data recovery, business continuity planning, records management, and a retention schedule. Frequently, a ransomware attack accesses files that are no longer needed and should have been eliminated already as part of the scheduled data lifecycle. Data governance implements and enforces guidelines that ensure only essential data is kept, reducing the risk of ransomware attacks.
