The Hong Kong Personal Data Protection Policy (PDPO) provides the legal framework for data protection in the city-state.

A data governance program will affect a large number of people in an organization. It’s important to define a clear vision and business case that explains the value of the program to its sponsors, stakeholders and end users. It’s also critical to develop a plan that clearly defines the roles needed to support, sponsor and implement the program.

These roles are usually referred to as the RACI (responsible, accountable, consulted and informed) model. The ideal stewards are a combination of business and IT savvy individuals who can bridge the gap between the business processes and data, and understand how their decisions can impact others’ work. Experienced project managers are often a good choice to help manage schedules and coordinate responsibilities. They can also serve as a point of escalation to the data governance team and executive sponsor.
