According to the Guide to Business Data Analytics, data security is the protection of data from unauthorized access, use, modification, or destruction. Data security includes the policies, procedures, and technologies that ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. Data security is an important aspect of data management, which is the planning, execution, and oversight of the data lifecycle. Data security is also related to data governance, which is the establishment and enforcement of rules, roles, and responsibilities for data quality, access, and usage. Data security is not the same as content management, which is the creation, storage, distribution, and maintenance of digital content.
One of the ways to enhance data security is to provision access to executive dashboards and visualizations based on the roles and permissions of the users. This can help prevent unauthorized or inappropriate access to sensitive or confidential data, as well as ensure compliance with data privacy and ethical standards. By establishing standards and implementing role based logins to executive dashboards, the organization can address the data security needs of its analytics practices.
