Cloud data management refers to the process of storing, managing, and protecting data that is hosted on a cloud platform. It involves various practices and technologies to ensure that data is securely stored, easily accessible, and effectively utilised by organisations.
Key components of a cloud data management strategy
The key components of a cloud data management strategy can be summarised as follows.
Data governance Data governance establishes clear policies and procedures to ensure the accuracy, security, and compliance of your data.
Data ownership: Clearly define who ‘owns’ the data and is responsible for its quality and usage (e.g., marketing team owns customer data).
Data access controls: Set policies around who can access specific datasets and for what purposes.
Data retention: Determine how long data needs to be retained based on legal and business requirements.
Compliance: Ensure your data management practices adhere to relevant regulations like GDPR or HIPAA.
Data architecture A well-designed data architecture is the foundation for scalability and flexibility in the cloud. Here’s what to consider.
Scalability: Choose an architecture that can easily scale up or down as your data volumes fluctuate.
Flexibility: Design your architecture to accommodate new data sources and evolving business needs.
Cloud service model: Select the appropriate cloud service model (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) based on your desired level of control and infrastructure management.
