Data Stewards are assigned by, and are accountable to, Data Trustees. Data Stewards help define, implement, and enforce data management policies and procedures within their specific Data Domain. A Data Trustee may delegate to the Data Steward the authority to represent the Data Trustee in data-related policy discussions.
Data Steward responsibilities include:
- Serve as the primary point of contact and coordination for data management issues and operations within the steward’s data domain
- Identify major data systems where data under the Data Steward’s responsibility resides
- Classify data according to Data Classification policy, working with security, privacy, and data officers, and review classifications at least annually
- Classify and review institutional reports and dashboards that deliver or expose institutional data for which the Data Steward is responsible (following this procedure)
