Data Quality and Security

The reading in the text provides two key reasons for poor data quality, “the rush to install new systems and the failure to take an integrated view of the organization’s data” (p. 109). Data security breaches seem to occur every other day, and as discussed in the Week Three lecture, there are serious implications for organizations that do not take the necessary measures to ensure data security. Include the following elements in your paper supporting your statements using the required sources for this assignment.

Analyze the role of data in information systems for business and describe the risks that can arise from poor data quality.

Explain the challenges that can result from poor data quality. Provide an example of the results of poor data quality from your own personal or professional experience.

Explain at least two methods of how organizations can ensure good data including the structure and applications necessary.

Analyze the risks of poor data security.

Research an article in the popular media that covers a recent data breach. Explain the impact of the data security breach on the organization and its leaders using evidence from your article.

Explain the role of data governance in keeping data secure.
