Ottawa, ON – The Digital Governance Standards Institute (DGSI) proudly announces the publication of the revised CAN/DGSI 100-1 standard, Data Governance – Part 1: Data-Centric Security.
In an era of unprecedented digital transformation, the imperative for data sharing has become paramount for organizations seeking to optimize operational efficiencies and drive informed decision-making processes. However, the prevalence of data breaches, unauthorized access, and inadvertent data misuse poses significant challenges for governments and businesses alike. This National Standard of Canada emerges as a critical framework in this complex digital ecosystem, serving a pivotal role as a cornerstone for robust data governance.
This updated standard continues to provide essential guidelines and requirements for products and services that protect digital assets at rest, in motion, and in use. It serves as a vital resource for organizations aiming to enhance secure data sharing and collaboration across different IT systems.
The revised standard was developed through a collaborative effort of over 250 data management experts, ensuring the standard continues to meet the evolving needs of digital governance in today’s global landscape.
