A data audit profiles organizational data located in various data repositories, such as databases, data warehouses, excel spreadsheets, and cloud applications, and assesses the level of data quality and integrity.
This research will:
- Provide an overview of data audits, and why they are important to your organization.
- Identify concepts/items to review and decide prior to performing a data audit.
- Provide an audit framework to follow for successful data audit results.
- Assist in maintaining the momentum of your data audit results by the implementation of data hygiene techniques and on-going quality checks.
Data audits also uncover gaps in the areas of security and regulatory compliance, assist in identifying rogue data and phantom data sources, and promote a tighter data lifecycle, which creates higher levels of data trust.
