Data Custodians

Data custodians are responsible for managing and protecting an organization’s data infrastructure. They ensure data is stored securely, accessible when needed, and maintained properly. Think of them as the keepers of data storage, overseeing servers, databases, and backups, while implementing security measures to prevent unauthorized access. Their role is technical but crucial for safeguarding information integrity, confidentiality, and availability. They work closely with data owners and users to ensure data practices align with organizational policies and compliance requirements, ultimately supporting effective data management and decision-making.
