How advanced AI tools can give organisations a holistic understanding of their data and improve compliance

It doesn't generate revenue, but it is an essential part of operating effectively as a business today. Whether it's industry specific regulations, or the standout regulation of our time--GDPR--we are all acutely aware of the damage, both reputational and financial, that non-compliance can cause. GDPR has equipped employees across industries with an appreciation of the context, usage, and security of data, but there is another factor that is essential for establishing an effective data strategy, which is data discoverability. To ensure regulatory compliance, data must not only be secure, it must also be discoverable so that compliance personnel can locate all information needed to prove compliance. Increasingly, AI tools are being harnessed to automate workflows and governance, but such capabilities can only be delivered when a strong data foundation is in place.
