Abstract
This paper explores the importance of data governance in influencing ethical decision-making in the context of information technology (IT). Data governance is used as a management technique to ensure the quality of organisational data by establishing and implementing policies, procedures and standards. Three main types of data governance are discussed: silo-oriented data governance, functional data governance, and platform data governance. The impact of each type on ethical IT decision-making is analysed, highlighting the challenges and benefits associated with each approach. Ethical IT decision-making hinges on robust data governance. Silo-oriented governance fosters fragmentation, conflicting standards, and security vulnerabilities. Functional Data Governance tailors policies to departments, enhancing accountability and risk mitigation but may lack unified ethics. Platform Data Governance builds on this, ensuring clearer accountability, data privacy, and unified ethical standards. To foster ethical IT decision-making, prioritize Platform Data Governance, establish a data platform for security, cultivate a unified ethical culture, and enforce organizational standards. These steps promote accountability, mitigate risks, and safeguard data integrity, crucial for ethically sound IT decisions in today's complex landscape.
