TDWI Checklist Report | Building Trusted Data and AI Governance in a Regulated World
May 28, 2025
Since the introduction of GDPR, the regulatory landscape has transformed dramatically—driven by geopolitical shifts, technological acceleration, and growing concerns about data privacy, security, ethics, and transparency.
Data governance is increasingly important for organizations wanting to manage their data more effectively. On top of this, with the pressure on companies to implement AI and now generative AI, organizations need to move beyond data governance to model and AI application governance.
In this environment, compliance is no longer just a legal obligation—it’s a strategic imperative for organizations to deliver trusted, well-governed data. Failure to meet these expectations introduces significant business and reputational risk.
This Checklist offers practical guidance: steps you can take to understand and respond to emerging global regulations, establish a foundation of trusted data across distributed environments, and expand governance to include AI and generative AI systems.
