Data Governance is a very broad term often used to mean things such as Data Archiving, Data Security, Data Protection, Regulatory Compliance and even Data Quality. In fact Data Governance is all those things, and more.

Data Governance is defined by the Data Governance Institute as “a system of decision rights and accountabilities for information related processes, executed according to agreed upon models that describe who can take what actions with what information (data), and when, under what circumstances, using what methods”.

A simpler definition from CIO Magazine says, “Management is the decisions you make, Governance is the structure for making them”.
