In today's data-driven world, the integrity, accuracy, and reliability of data are critical to effective decision-making, regulatory compliance, and maintaining stakeholder trust. Poor data quality can result in costly errors, inefficiencies, and reputational damage. 

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of data quality management, grounded in the DAMA-DMBOK2 framework and enhanced by alignment with internationally recognised quality and security standards.

The course draws on ISO 9001:2015, a globally accepted standard for quality management systems, which emphasises leadership, customer focus, and continual improvement. By applying ISO 9001 principles to data quality, organisations can embed consistent, efficient, and auditable practices into their data management operations.

Additionally, the course incorporates guidance from ISO 8000-1:2022, which defines the key principles of data quality across the full data lifecycle—including creation, collection, maintenance, usage, and sharing. This standard provides a common foundation for assessing and improving the quality of data assets, ensuring they are fit for purpose and meet organisational needs.

Crucially, the course also recognises the interdependence of data quality and information security. It introduces key aspects of ISO/IEC 27001, the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). As data becomes an increasingly valuable and vulnerable asset, aligning data quality initiatives with ISO/IEC 27001 helps ensure that data is not only accurate and reliable, but also securely managed and protected against risk.

Together, these frameworks equip participants with the tools and insights needed to establish robust, standards-based data quality practices that support both operational excellence and long-term strategic goals.
