TierStandards

TIERStandards is a framework for assessing and improving the maturity of an organization's data governance practices. The name TIER stands for Trust, Integrity, Effectiveness, and Responsibility, representing the core pillars of data governance that the standards aim to address. Organizations use TIERStandards to benchmark their current data governance capabilities and identify areas for development. It provides a structured approach to evaluating how well data is managed, protected, and utilized across the enterprise.

The framework typically involves a set of criteria and metrics that allow for a systematic evaluation. This evaluation helps in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of existing data governance processes, policies, and technologies. By applying TIERStandards, companies can gain a clearer picture of their data's reliability, security, and compliance adherence. The ultimate goal is to foster a data-driven culture where data is a trusted asset, contributing positively to business objectives. Implementing TIERStandards can lead to enhanced decision-making, reduced risks, and improved operational efficiency.
