Data Governance Maturity Model

The Data Governance Maturity Model describes how effectively an organization manages and protects its data over time. It shows stages that range from basic, where data rules are informal or unclear, to advanced, where data practices are well-structured, consistently applied, and aligned with business goals. As an organization progresses through these stages, it improves data quality, security, compliance, and usability. This model helps organizations identify their current level and plan steps to achieve better data management, ensuring data is reliable, secure, and valuable for decision-making.
