Inside the warehouse Business systems tier Sys 1 Sys ... Sys n Business Interface Analysis tier Data 1 Data 2 Extract Transform Load (ETL) Sources tier DES PREM
Data Goverance Framework Manage/know what we have (metadata) Manage who has access (access control) Minimise privacy risk Be open and transparent Supported and driven by an in house browser based application
Role of metadata Find it Dataset Collections need to be registered (keywords?) Understand it Needs to be properly labelled with appropriate codebooks and other relevant information (data summaries) Evaluate it Contextual background information usually in the form of documents that provides further understanding of data If you don t have the necessary metadata - data is worthless at the very least and potentially disastrous if used for decision making.
Access control - Register of access rights - Person based at flow level based on userid - Business reason captured (DG must sign off on linking projects) - System jobs snapshot register at regular basis - System jobs inform administrators of inconsistencies unregistered access rights - New tool also to record actual accesses - Tiered access - Source = identifiable - Analysis = pseudonymised (PIK Protected Identifier Key)
Analysis tier General access for statistical purposes Contains no directly identifiable information PIK enables safe linkage across data sources and over time PIK can be random generated number or using a salt and hash PPSN, EIRCODE, other identifiers PIK generation closely guarded secret
Source tier Restricted access Management Board level sign off Data office sign off Underpinned by Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
Role of PIA Ensure due consideration has been given to identifying and mitigating potential risks Provide documentary evidence
Open and Transparent = Trust Metadata is open All staff can see all data descriptions Access control information is open All staff can see who has access to what All process documentation is open PIAs etc Data is not open
Organisational governance developments Data Office Confidentiality and Data Security Committee (CDSC) reports to Management Board ADC policy no longer set by ADC
