What is a common challenge in data management that DAMA-DMBOK addresses?

Balancing data access with data security and privacy is a fundamental challenge in data management that the DAMA-DMBOK addresses thoroughly. This balance is crucial because organizations must ensure that their data is not only accessible to authorized users but also protected from unauthorized access or breaches. The DAMA-DMBOK framework emphasizes the importance of establishing robust governance policies and practices to manage data security and privacy effectively, which includes defining roles and responsibilities, implementing encryption, and conducting regular audits.

The focus on this challenge reflects the growing concerns around data protection regulations and compliance issues that organizations face today. By addressing how to manage and protect sensitive data, the framework supports organizations in navigating these complexities while ensuring that data remains a valuable asset.

In contrast, while maximizing data storage efficiency, prioritizing data analysis techniques, and minimizing the cost of data infrastructure are important aspects of data management, they do not encompass the critical issue of ensuring that data is both accessible and secure. These areas are necessary for effective data management but do not involve the same regulatory and ethical considerations that balancing access with security and privacy entails.
