Data Governance Service
Control the Data in Your Care
Discover and Govern Your Data
A by-product of today’s digital business, data is everywhere throughout your ecosystem.
Discovering where that data resides is a crucial first step to knowing how to manage it.
But governance is more than a data awareness initiative.
Classifying data by type and format, identifying data owners, tracing data lineage to identify the risks it poses and setting standards for change management are vital efforts that help define the policies that will govern data for its life cycle – and ultimately drive data privacy and protection requirements across your environment.

What is Data Governance?
Data Governance is a function that supports maturing organizations data management practices, leading to data that is:
- Organized
- Usable (better quality)
- Accessible
- Audited
- Managed
- Documented
- Trusted
- Secure
Data Governance can mitigate programmatic and technical risks, aids in regulatory compliance, positions data as a strategic asset, and makes data operations more efficient.

Set the Data Governance Ground Rules
Data governance is one of the three components in our overall data practice. Fundamentally linked with data privacy and data protection objectives, AVIH data governance offerings are integral in driving the responsible use, compliance and security of the data in your care.
AVIH provides both advisory and implementation capabilities across all of our governance offerings:
We use surveys, workshops, and leverage technology and our partner ecosystem to conduct both manual and automated data discovery to gain visibility into where and what kind of data resides in your environment. Ongoing discovery efforts identify any changes in your environment.
Our inventory and classification efforts prioritize the data that’s surfaced during discovery. Classification of data by type – such as sensitive or strategic, unstructured or structured – ensures that appropriate privacy and protection requirements are applied.
Our data lineage processes identify the sources of your data – as well as who uses it – in order to determine the potential risks associated with it. These efforts drive requirements for protecting that data to proactively mitigate risk from cradle to grave.
A Vendor-Agnostic Approach to Data Governance
We recognize that each of our clients is different – and so are their needs. Our vendor-agnostic approach ensures that any technology we recommend aligns and supports the requirements of your specific data governance solution.
