Data governance when nobody knows what is in there any more

In a large group, data belongs to no one in particular: every business unit has its own, named its own way, kept in its own corner. The day a regulator, an audit or the AI Act asks what you hold and who can reach it, the answer takes weeks. We put in place the catalogue, the quality rules and the classifications that make that answer fit into a single query.

Sound familiar?

If two of these sentences get said in your organisation, the problem is no longer technical: it is organisational.

How we do it

  1. We map what is already there

    We start from business domains, not from the tool: what data, produced by whom, used for what. The most mature departments become the model for the rest.

  2. We document in a catalogue the business actually opens

    Glossary, dictionary, indicators, lineage. A catalogue only the data team ever opens is worthless: it is the business owners who keep it alive.

  3. We classify what is sensitive

    Personal data, regulated data, systems in scope of the AI Act. Classification is not a spreadsheet: it lives in the tool and updates along with the data.

  4. We measure quality, and we keep measuring it

    Written rules, computed indicators, an owner per domain. Without measurement, a governance policy is back to being a forty-page document within six months.

Where we have already done it

Each line is a real engagement, with what was measured at the end. Where there is no figure, nothing was measured: we do not invent one.

Group catalogue: around ten business departments supported on glossaries, indicators and GDPR, sensitive-data and AI Act classification.

Each department's data owners keep the catalogue alive on their own once the work is done.

Governance stops being a separate workstream: it gets fed with every report delivered.
