Auditor’s Guide to Data Governance and Literacy
Wednesday, July 20, 2022, 2:00-6:00PM CDT
MODALITY: In-Person, Livestream
According to CRN.com’s “10 Biggest Data Breaches of 2021 (So Far)” released on July 23, 2021, “more than 98.2 million individuals were impacted by the 10 biggest data breaches in the first half of 2021, with three of the 10 largest breaches occurring at technology companies.” What does this statistic have to do with data governance and data literacy?
Simply, ungoverned data is a recipe for disaster. Many of the year’s events have been directly attributed to data and information assets being improperly protected from either external bad actors, trusted insiders, or both. As an audit community, we need to validate that our organizations have adequate data literacy, governance, and protections in place to reduce the potential of data exposure or worse yet, data leakage or destruction.
