Data governance is a process of managing the accessibility, usability, integrity and security of data and analytics, based on established data standards and procedures.

Why Student Data Governance?

A robust approach to student data governance is critical for protecting UC Irvine against unauthorized access and disclosure of private student data. It ensures that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data, and that it is in pursuit of legitimate research needs and data-driven insights that will improve the student experience. Student data governance safeguards student privacy, prioritizes regulatory compliance and ensures the legitimacy of the data provided.
