Data Governance consultancy

Data governance services that keep you in control

Protect, optimise, and maximise the value of your data

Effective data governance gives your organisation clarity and control. It defines how data is managed, who’s responsible for it, and how it supports business goals. With the right framework in place, information becomes a reliable asset. One that’s accurate, consistent, and compliant across every system and function.

We focus on creating governance models that work in practice, not just on paper. That means policies that fit your structure, processes that integrate with existing technology, and standards your teams can follow with confidence. From improving data quality and reducing operational risk to maintaining regulatory compliance, we help you build a trusted data foundation that supports smarter decisions and long-term growth.

What’s Included in Our Data Governance Service

Our approach to data governance is built around creating clear accountability, consistent standards, and lasting value. Every organisation has different levels of maturity, so we design frameworks that fit your structure and support your wider data strategy.

Governance Framework & Policy Development

We help you establish the principles, roles, and policies that define how data is managed across your business. This includes ownership, access rights, classification, and usage guidelines. The foundations for reliable and compliant data operations.

Data Quality Management

Data quality is the cornerstone of good governance. We assess current quality levels, identify root causes of inconsistency, and implement controls to maintain accuracy over time. The result is data that can be trusted to support strategic decisions.

Metadata & Master Data Management

Clear visibility of your data assets enables better control. We design and implement metadata structures and master data processes that improve discoverability, streamline integration, and reduce duplication across systems.

Compliance & Risk Control

We ensure your governance framework aligns with relevant regulations and internal policies, from GDPR and data protection to sector-specific standards. This creates transparency and accountability while reducing compliance risk.

Data Ownership & Stewardship

We define clear roles and responsibilities for managing data, from executive sponsors to operational stewards. This helps embed governance into everyday activity, making it a shared business function rather than a technical afterthought.

Technology Alignment & Tooling

Governance isn’t just process, it needs the right technology. We work with your existing platforms and recommend solutions for cataloguing, lineage, and monitoring to make governance practical, scalable, and efficient.

Measurement & Continuous Improvement

Strong governance evolves over time. We put metrics in place to measure maturity, track improvement, and identify opportunities to strengthen performance as your data landscape grows.

Our approach

We're here to help

Managing data effectively requires the right capabilities, processes, and policies. We can help your business design and implement data governance services that improve data quality, reduce risk, and align with your business goals.

1

Discovery and Assessment

We start by understanding how your organisation uses data today. Through workshops and analysis, we identify risks, ownership gaps, and areas where governance can deliver the most value.

2

Framework Design and Strategy

Next, we create a governance framework that fits your organisation. From defining roles and data standards to recommending the right tools, we build a strategy that balances control with flexibility.

3

Implementation and Continuous Improvement

Once the framework is agreed, we guide implementation; establishing policies, training data owners, and monitoring results. Governance isn’t a one-off project, so we help embed ongoing review and refinement to keep your data practices effective as you scale.

FAQs

Data governance is the framework for managing the availability, integrity, and security of your data assets. It ensures that data management practices are structured, compliant, and aligned with business goals, so that your data remains an asset, not a liability.

A data governance framework is the structure that defines how data is managed, protected, and used within an organisation. It includes policies, processes, and roles that ensure governed data stays accurate and compliant with industry regulations.

Good data governance improves data quality, reduces risk, and helps businesses make better decisions. By breaking down data silos, ensuring regulatory compliance, and putting clear structures in place, you gain control over your data assets and unlock more value.

Timelines depend on the scope and maturity of your organisation’s data practices. Some clients start with a focused governance health check, while others develop a company-wide framework over several months. We tailor each engagement to your priorities and capacity for change.

Success is measured through improvements in data quality, compliance, and decision-making. We establish KPIs early, such as reduced data duplication, faster access to insights, or fewer reporting discrepancies, and track them over time to ensure governance continues to deliver value.
