Empower Tips: Ask Me Anything About Data Flow and Data Process Mapping with Data Governance in Mind

Data integrity is strengthened through a detailed understanding of your data. This includes mapping your data flow, which necessitates questions such as:

• How is data created?

• Where is data stored?

• What other data is relevant?

• How and where is data used within your business process?

• Where could risk exist?

Understanding your data workflow allows you to focus in on the most critical data so you can identify potential data integrity risks and vulnerabilities. Facilitating a risk-based approach to process design, data integrity controls, workflow validation, and computerized system validation (CSV) enables you to confidently identify areas to monitor as you strive to ensure quality.
