Data Ethics & Governance in 2025: Practical Frameworks

Data is an asset — but unmanaged data creates risk. Effective governance starts with classification, clear ownership, and lifecycle policies.

Implement technical controls (access audits, data minimization) alongside cultural practices (training and role modeling).
