Information technology — Governance of IT — Governance of data — Part 1: Application of ISO/IEC 38500 to the governance of data
ISO/IEC 38505-1:2017 provides guiding principles for members of governing bodies of organizations (which can comprise owners, directors, partners, executive managers, or similar) on the effective, efficient, and acceptable use of data within their organizations by - applying the governance principles and model of ISO/IEC 38500 to the governance of data, - assuring stakeholders that, if the principles and practices proposed by this document are followed, they can have confidence in the organization's governance of data, - informing and guiding governing bodies in the use and protection of data in their organization, and - establishing a vocabulary for the governance of data. ISO/IEC 38505-1:2017 can also provide guidance to a wider community, including: - executive managers, - external businesses or technical specialists, such as legal or accounting specialists, retail or industrial associations, or professional bodies, - internal and external service providers (including consultants), and - auditors. While this document looks at the governance of data and its use within an organization, guidance on the implementation arrangement for the effective governance of IT in general is found in ISO/IEC/TS 38501. The constructs in ISO/IEC/TS 38501 can help to identify internal and external factors relating to the governance of IT and help to define beneficial outcomes and identify evidence of success. ISO/IEC 38505-1:2017 applies to the governance of the current and future use of data that is created, collected, stored or controlled by IT systems, and impacts the management processes and decisions relating to data. ISO/IEC 38505-1:2017 defines the governance of data as a subset or domain of the governance of IT, which itself is a subset or domain of organizational, or in the case of a corporation, corporate governance. ISO/IEC 38505-1:2017 is applicable to all organizations, including public and private companies, government entities, and not-for-profit organizations. This document is applicable to organizations of all sizes from the smallest to the largest, regardless of the extent of their dependence on data.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Introduction
The objective of this document is to provide principles, definitions and a model for governing bodies to
use when evaluating, directing and monitoring the handling and use of data in their organizations.
This document is a high level, principles-based advisory standard. In addition to providing broad
guidance on the role of a governing body, it encourages organizations to use appropriate standards to
underpin their governance of data.
All organizations use data, and the major proportion of this data is stored electronically across IT
systems. With the advent of cloud computing, the realization of the potential of the “internet of things”
and the increasing use of “big data” analytics, data is becoming easier to generate, gather, store and
mine for use
