IBM announces Data Governance Council

IT Security.com reports that IBM has announced it has formed the Data Governance Council with dozens of leading companies, institutions and technology solution providers -- in a global effort to develop a 'blueprint' of common solutions which go beyond traditional monikers of security, privacy, compliance, and operational risk to form a new category for businesses called Data Governance.

Data Governance is the process by which companies govern appropriate access to their critical data, by measuring operational risk and mitigating security exposures associated with access to data. The Data Governance Council will look to redefine the management of data governance policy, the impact of policy on business processes and practices, and the enforcement of policy in IT infrastructure, content and organizational behavior.
