Certified: The ISACA CGEIT Audio Course

This episode focuses on information architecture as a governance requirement for making data decisions consistent across the enterprise, which is increasingly critical for risk, compliance, and value delivery. You’ll define information architecture as how data is classified, modeled, stored, protected, shared, and retained, and how those rules connect to business processes and reporting needs. We’ll cover governance mechanisms that enforce alignment, such as data ownership, stewardship roles, taxonomy standards, data quality expectations, and decision checkpoints for new data sources and integrations. Real-world examples include inconsistent definitions across business units, poor data lineage that undermines reporting, and data replication that increases privacy and security exposure. For the CGEIT exam, you’ll practice selecting governance actions that create clarity and accountability for enterprise data, ensuring decisions are based on common definitions and controlled handling rather than ad hoc local preferences.
