Data Governance – Access and Security Challenges

Presentation Summary

A key element of Data Governance is establishing agreement on requirements for security and access of information. In a BI and Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) environment, the concepts and process for security and access require a completely different approach. In traditional transaction systems, access for specific domains (student, faculty, staff) is typically for specific purposes and managed individually by the data stewards overseeing those domains. In the EDW, access to information may be for quite abstract needs and will generally span multiple domains under the oversight of multiple stewards. This presentation will outline an approach to these challenges.
