Webinar: Conducting a Data Risk Assessment Using the DAMA DMBOK2 as a Standard

As data volumes grow, data privacy laws proliferate, and AI use expands… so do data risks! Data governance professionals need to talk more about the need to proactively identify, assess, and manage data risks for our organizations.

The DAMA Data Management Body of Knowledge, 2nd edition (DAMA-DMBOK2) is a valuable resource that can be used as a standard for conducting a data risk assessment by:

  • Assessing a Knowledge Area (chapter) to identify best practices & ways to organize them
  • Comparing best practices to current data management processes to identify gaps, deficiencies, and other potential risks
  • Mapping identified risks to threats/vulnerabilities and compiling a risk summary
  • Applying a scoring rubric based on impact and likelihood to calculate risk scores
  • Defining risk tolerance levels, mitigation strategies, and priorities
  • Publishing all this to a formal risk registry to foster transparency and track progress

This webinar will walk you through a simple process that will help you speak “data risk” with your leadership team so they can better understand and navigate the complexities of managing data risks in an ever-changing world.
