Overview
Data governance is the set of decisions about data: who owns it, what it means, who may use it and how its quality is managed.
Lexora helps organisations make those decisions once and write them down in a form people follow. We focus on the data that matters most, rather than trying to govern everything at the same depth.
Good data governance also underpins privacy compliance and responsible AI. Classification drives security; ownership drives quality; quality drives whether automated decisions can be trusted.
The frameworks behind it
Each is labelled by status, so enacted law is never confused with proposals or voluntary standards. Verified October 2026.
