Policy-Management

Data Governance: Policies, Compliance, and Quality Data governance is a practical framework for managing data as a valuable asset. It sets clear policies, assigns ownership, and defines processes for how data is created, stored, shared, and retired. Good governance helps reduce risk, improve decision making, and meet legal and contractual requirements. It is not a one-time project, but an ongoing program that touches people, data, and technology. Three pillars keep governance alive: policies, compliance, and quality. Policies are the rules that guide behavior and data handling. Compliance checks see that rules are followed and gaps are fixed. Quality ensures data is accurate, complete, timely, and consistent enough to trust for decisions. ...

Data Governance and Compliance in the Cloud Cloud services bring data together from many sources, but this power comes with rules. Data governance and compliance help teams know what data they have, who can use it, where it can move, and how it is protected. Building these practices into cloud workflows makes security and trust part of everyday work. Start with data classification: label data by sensitivity and purpose. Create simple policies for encryption, access, and retention. Use role-based access control (RBAC) and check access regularly. Keep audit trails that show who did what and when. ...

Network segmentation and zero trust network access Network segmentation and zero trust network access aim to limit who can reach what in your IT environment. Segmentation splits the network into smaller zones so sensitive systems are easier to protect. Zero trust, often written as ZTNA, means you do not trust any user or device by default. Every login and every access path is verified and limited. When used together, they reinforce each other. If an attacker breaks into one zone, they still face many hurdles to move later. Access requests are evaluated with identity, device health, location, and the resource being asked for. This reduces the blast radius and helps you enforce least privilege and compliance. ...
