ISO/IEC 25012:2008 - Data Quality Model

International (ISO/IEC)
v2008
10 domains
36 controls

ISO/IEC 25012:2008 defines a general data quality model applicable to data retained in a structured format within a computer system. Part of the SQuaRE (Systems and software Quality Requirements and Evaluation) series. It defines 15 data quality characteristics categorised as inherent (accuracy, completeness, consistency, credibility, currentness) and system-dependent (accessibility, compliance, confidentiality, efficiency, precision, traceability, understandability, availability, portability, recoverability).

Unverified

ISO/IEC 25012:2008 - Data Quality Model is a compliance framework from International (ISO/IEC) with 10 domains and 36 controls that map to 211 other frameworks. The largest domains are Inherent and System-Dependent (7 controls), Inherent and System-Dependent Data Quality Characteristics (7 controls), Inherent (5 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.

What is ISO/IEC 25012:2008 - Data Quality Model and who does it apply to?

ISO/IEC 25012:2008 - Data Quality Model is a compliance framework from International (ISO/IEC) with 10 domains and 36 controls. ISO/IEC 25012:2008 defines a general data quality model applicable to data retained in a structured format within a computer system. Part of the SQuaRE (Systems and software Quality Requirements and Evaluation) series. It defines 15 data quality characteristics categorised as inherent (accuracy, completeness, consistency, credibility, currentness) and system-dependent (accessibility, compliance, confidentiality, efficiency, precision, traceability, understandability, availability, portability, recoverability). It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does ISO/IEC 25012:2008 - Data Quality Model actually require?

ISO/IEC 25012:2008 - Data Quality Model has 36 controls organised across 10 domains. The largest domains are Inherent and System-Dependent (7 controls), Inherent and System-Dependent Data Quality Characteristics (7 controls), Inherent (5 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of ISO/IEC 25012:2008 - Data Quality Model do I already cover?

ISO/IEC 25012:2008 - Data Quality Model maps to 211 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are ISO 27018 (14% coverage), ISO 15189:2022 - Medical Laboratories Requirements for Quality and Competence (14% coverage), ISO 19011 (11% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
