ISO/IEC 38500:2024 5.9.2: Data and decisions: governance implications for use of IT

What the data and decisions principle means for the governance of IT: data is treated as a resource of real value when decisions are made; using it strategically means being clear about its role, its value and its risks for the organization; and using it responsibly comes mainly through a clear data strategy that addresses data quality and security as well as obligations such as data protection and copyright.
