ABSTRACT
IT governance is the structure of relationships and processes that govern IT decision-making in investment decisions, infrastructure management, client relationships, and all other aspects of the IT business function
As a subset of IT governance, data governance includes the people, policies, processes, practices, and procedures required to ensure the preservation, availability, confidentiality, and usability of an enterprise’s data. Note that data governance can exist independently of a formal IT governance (or even corporate governance) structure, although having a formal corporate and IT governance structure would be best practice.
