and acceptable use of data within their organizations byapplying the governance principles and model of ISO/IEC 38500 to the governance of data,assuring stakeholders that, if the principles and practices proposed by this document are followed,
they can have confidence in the organization's governance of data,informing and guiding governing bodies in the use and protection of data in their organization, andestablishing a vocabulary for the governance of data.This document can also provide guidance to a wider community, including:executive managers,external businesses or technical specialists, such as legal or accounting specialists, retail or
industrial associations, or professional bodies,internal and external service providers (including consultants), andauditors.While this document looks at the governance of data and its use within an organization, guidance on the
implementation arrangement for the effective governance of IT in general is found in ISO/IEC/TS 38501.The constructs in ISO/IEC/TS 38501 can help to identify internal and external factors relating to the
governance of IT and help to define beneficial outcomes and identify evidence of success.This document applies to the governance of the current and future use of data that is created, collected,
stored or controlled by IT systems, and impacts the management processes and decisions relating to data.This document defines the governance of data as a subset or domain of the governance of IT, which
itself is a subset or domain of organizational, or in the case of a corporation, corporate governance.This document is applicable to all organizations, including public and private companies, government
entities, and not-for-profit organizations. This document is applicable to organizations of all sizes from
the smallest to the largest, regardless of the extent of their dependence on data.Cross References:ISO/IEC 38500ISO/IEC/TS 38501ISO/IEC/TR 38502ISO 31000:2009ISO/TR 31004:2013ISO/IEC 17788:2014ISO/IEC 27000ISO/IEC 27002:2013ISO/IEC 27017ISO/IEC 27018ISO/IEC 20546ISO/IEC 20889ISO/IEC 29100:2011All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
