Data Governance Policy and Framework
The University is responsible for ensuring the availability, confidentiality and integrity of all information to which it is entrusted. University data, whether managed and residing on University information technology resources, stored on personal devices, managed by a third party or a business partner, or outsourced to a service provider, is an important asset that must be governed, protected and appropriately safeguarded. The purpose of data governance is to develop institution-wide policies and procedures that ensure that data meets these objectives within and across administrative or academic data systems. A draft Data Governance Policy and Framework has been developed. The policy and framework were benchmarked both locally and internationally. In January 2020, the Stakeholder Engagement Framework and Action Plan was finalised.
