New Virtual Event: Data Governance Models
When: June 11 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Data Governance Models: Building Transparency, Privacy, and Compliance into Everyday Government Operations
Join the State’s Chief Privacy Officer and Data Privacy Ombuds for this interactive event where we will discuss a practical approach to data governance built around the services government entities provide every day. Rather than treating records management, privacy, and compliance as separate responsibilities, these model aligns existing business processes, workflows, and systems with modern data governance principles to create a more efficient and sustainable framework.
Participants will examine how data governance models can help standardize privacy and records management practices while supporting transparency, compliance, and trusted public services. Attendees will receive an overview of the proposed models, participate in discussion, and help inform future development through questions and feedback.
Participants will learn how data governance models can help organizations:
- Align privacy, records management, and compliance obligations within existing operations.
- Standardize practices for records classification, retention schedules, and privacy notices.
- Implement data minimization principles and reduce unnecessary personal data processing.
- Improve consistency, transparency, and accountability across government services.
- Support scalable, modern governance programs that adapt to evolving legal and operational requirements.
Target Audience: Policymakers, executive leaders, privacy professionals, records officers, and senior government staff at the state and local level who are shaping the future of privacy, data governance, and trusted digital services in Utah.
