IIA-CIA-Part3 Exam - Question 300


Which of these instances accurately describes the responsibilities for big data governance?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

Management has the primary responsibility for data governance, including ensuring that information storage systems are properly defined and maintained. They are also responsible for establishing clear processes to update critical data elements. External and internal auditors typically play a role in review and assurance but are not directly responsible for these core governance tasks. Therefore, the most accurate description of responsibilities for big data governance is related to management.

I've read this in GTAG: Big data governance. Seems like A is the correct answer. In D, it is not the internal auditor but the data owners.

Big data governance is primarily the responsibility of management, as they are accountable for data integrity, security, and compliance with policies and regulations. This includes:

GTAG Understanding and Auditing Big Data "Organizations must implement appropriate controls to ensure that all necessary data quality dimensions (e.g., completeness, validity, uniqueness) are properly maintained and that such controls protect CDEs in the same manner. Some examples of control processes related to data quality and CDE protection include data defect identification and data loss/leakage prevention (DLP). " This GTAG also says "Data owners should take responsibility for the quality and security of their data, with a heightened focus on the riskiest data elements." which puts this responsibility onto data owners - not internal audit, ruling out D.
