ISO/IEC 38500:2024 4.1.3: Responsible stewardship

What the organization holds in stewardship includes its digital capabilities, the data it generates itself and the data it receives from others such as suppliers, customers, staff and other stakeholders. The governing body should set out plainly what responsible stewardship requires, which may cover: making sure automated decisions are reasonable and can be justified (ISO/IEC 38507 gives guidance); protecting stakeholder information and using it appropriately; keeping digital capabilities and data secure and resilient; showing that risk is governed soundly, that care is taken and that judgement is good in how digital capabilities are used; and keeping up with stakeholders' changing demands for transparency, explainability and impact assessment.
