Gartner: Data Security Governance Must Balance Outcomes and Risks
“By 2026, 40% of organizations will use DSG to support business outcomes and data security investments, up from less than 15% today.”
Data Security Governance (DSG) provides a methodology for identifying and mitigating data risk across the organization – wherever it is stored, whoever uses it and however it is accessed. Moreover, DSG provides a framework for collaborating with key stakeholders across the business, helping translate data risk to business risk.
In their report, Gartner® outlines their five-stage cyclical model:
- Evaluate and Prioritize Business Risks
- Balance Data Security Posture
- Establish Security Policies
- Orchestrate Data Security Controls
- Assess the Data Risks
Learn the five steps so you can close the gaps in your data security posture. This model can help turn security into a business enabler and minimize business risk so you can maximize business outcomes.
