Data Governance Model
Owners, classification and a ranked list of your data products, written down and signed off, typically within one to four weeks.
Owners, classification and a ranked list of your data products, written down and signed off, typically within one to four weeks.
Problem
A data platform is a hard first ask. It needs budget, an architecture decision and agreement on whose numbers are right before anyone has named what the data is for. Governance needs none of that. It answers the two questions your CFO and your DPO are already asking: which numbers can we trust, and where is our personal data?
Approach
A few short workshops with your people, built on the Cloud² governance template and fitted to you. We write the document from what you tell us, review it with you, and a named business owner signs it off. Typically one to four weeks in all, depending on how fast your people can meet.
Scope, stakeholders, your data landscape, and the spreadsheets that are really systems of record.
Business domains, data owners and stewards, and the decisions each data set serves.
Classification tiers, personal and special-category data, EU residency, retention and sovereignty.
Critical data elements, what correct means for each, who may see what, and how access gets requested.
The governance forum, its rhythm, its KPIs, and the ranking of your data products.
A Word document plus editable register templates. The handover includes a priced proposal for the lakehouse, built from your own register.
What You Get
Purpose and scope, data principles, domain model and ownership, classification scheme, regulatory position (GDPR, EU Data Act, NIS2, sector rules, DAMA-DMBOK alignment noted), residency and retention, access policy model, critical data elements and quality rules, a ranked data product register, RACI, exception process and review cadence.

Why It Matters
Three outputs turn straight into the platform. The lakehouse is then priced against your words, not our template.
Tells us which sources, which volumes and which consumers. It sizes the lakehouse.
Tell us which access, encryption and residency controls are mandatory rather than nice to have.
Become the policies and checks the platform enforces technically.
