Data stewardship is a critical discipline for organizations that depend on data for operations, decision-making, automation, and innovation. Today’s data stewards work at the intersection of business and technology to ensure that data is reliable, trustworthy, accessible, secure, compliant with laws and regulations, and used responsibly. Stewards lead and collaborate across teams, apply governance policies, resolve data issues, advocate for data management best practices, provide knowledge and guidance for data creators and consumers, and promote shared understanding of data across the enterprise.
