Data Governance for Tech Start-ups
I’ve worked with a lot of tech start-up and many large corporations. All companies face challenges regarding data governance. Efficient and effective data and data governance is essential for companies to operate as a competitive business. Companies need to leverage their data assets while remaining in compliance with data protection, privacy and anti-spam laws, customer expectations and business partner requirements. With laws changing frequently, it can be difficult to keep up.
I am well aware of how cash-strapped start-ups often are. I’ve provided a set of templates with explanations to allow you to customize the documents for your own purposes.
Always remember that a contract or policy is only as good as your ability to enforce it, so its important to work with a lawyer or another skill professional to determine how negotiate any legal agreement or operationalize any policy.
