COBIT 2019 APO14.04: APO14.04 Define a data quality strategy

An enterprise-wide, integrated data quality strategy is set to reach and then keep the degree of data quality (complexity, integrity, accuracy, completeness, validity, traceability, timeliness) that business goals depend on. Business and technology stakeholders shape the strategy together; executive management approves it, and it is actively managed so the enterprise moves from where it is today toward the intended target. It is applied throughout the enterprise through matching policies, processes and guidelines. Its policies, processes and governance are embedded across the whole data life cycle, and the corresponding processes are made mandatory within the development life cycle. A sequenced improvement plan for data quality is drawn up, tracked and kept current, and plans are checked against the strategy's goals. Data quality issues reported by stakeholders are gathered systematically, and what stakeholders expect is written into the strategy and measured.
