The data hk is the legal foundation for data governance programs in Hong Kong. It establishes rights and obligations for data subjects and regulates the collection, processing, holding, disclosure and use of personal data through six data protection principles. The data hk also sets out specific offences for improper disclosure of personal information (i.e., doxxing).

Getting started with data governance requires an understanding of the laws and regulations in place in the region. Your team should have a clear vision of the goals of your data governance program, and an actionable business case that articulates how this program will drive business value.

In addition to understanding the law, the most important aspect of a good data governance program is the people in your organization who will support it. Your team will need a mix of business and IT subject matter experts who understand how the governance framework will impact their processes, decisions and interactions with data. Experienced project managers are a great choice for coordinating the work of these stewards, and for communicating decisions made by them to other members of the team. These individuals will also serve as the primary point of escalation for the program’s executive sponsor and steering committee.
