Know what executive data exists, why it exists and when it should leave.
CEOBAL Data Governance adds an operating register for data categories, business purpose, ownership, sensitivity, system of record, retention and deletion process. It supports governance conversations; it does not replace legal/privacy advice or a formal records-of-processing assessment.
Purpose
Why is the data collected or generated, and which CEOBAL process depends on it?
Owner
Which business role is accountable for appropriate use, quality and lifecycle decisions?
Sensitivity
Classify information internally so higher-sensitivity categories receive stronger handling controls.
System of record
Identify where authoritative data lives and avoid uncontrolled duplicate truth across systems.
Retention
Record the approved retention rule and review date rather than keeping data indefinitely by default.
Deletion / export
Document how data is exported, corrected or deleted through the approved process.
Capability intelligence becomes more defensible when the data lifecycle is explicit.
Assessments, learning, decisions, outcomes, commercial records and AI governance can create valuable longitudinal data. That value depends on consent, purpose limitation, security, retention and quality governance.
Maintain the private register in CEOBAL Workspace.
Authorised administrators can record governance metadata without placing sensitive datasets themselves into the register.
