Data governance with the 6 principles, not with 6 slides
ISO/IEC 38505-1 applies corporate IT governance to data under the Evaluate–Direct–Monitor model. Linedat turns its six principles into living, traceable entities, with an EDM dashboard.
Governance framework
What ISO/IEC 38505-1 proposes
ISO/IEC 38505-1
ISO/IEC 38505-1:2017 applies the corporate governance principles of IT (ISO/IEC 38500) to data as a strategic asset. It structures governance around six principles — Value, Risk, Constraints, Quality, Lifecycle and Authority — under the Evaluate–Direct–Monitor (EDM) model. It is voluntary guidance, not a certifiable scheme.
Most programmes stop at six slides of principles. Linedat delivers each principle as a first-class entity and brings them together in an EDM view: the state of data governance at a glance, for the committee.
The six data governance principles
Each 38505-1 principle is delivered as a product capability, brought together in the EDM view.
Value
Data as an asset with measurable value. Linedat calculates a self-calculated utility index on demand and frames the four approaches to valuation.
Risk and Constraints
Data risk with a 5x5 matrix and versioned policies with scope hierarchy. Constraints applied and traced.
Quality and Lifecycle
Executable quality across 6 dimensions and audited asset lifecycle, with reconstructible temporal lineage.
Authority (Evaluate–Direct–Monitor)
Committees with traceable evidence, consented delegation and the EDM view that brings the six principles together in a single surface.
How Linedat covers it
Each 38505-1 principle is delivered as a product capability, brought together in the EDM view.
EDM View: 6 Principles at a Glance
The CDO does not need 40 dashboards: they need six principles, at a glance.
View capability →Data governanceData Valuation: Utility Index
How much is your data worth? A self-calculated utility index 0–100 (usage, lineage, quality).
View capability →Data governanceData Risk with 5×5 Matrix and Effectiveness Verification
A data risk is not closed by saying "already mitigated": it is closed with proven effectiveness.
View capability →Data governanceAppend-Only Policy Versioning
Ask us which policy was in force on 15 January. We will reconstruct it.
View capability →Catalog, quality & lineageExecutable Data Quality (Real SQL, 6 Dimensions)
Quality stops being an opinion: rules that execute real SQL against the source, in 8 dialects.
View capability →Catalog, quality & lineageTemporal and Verifiable Lineage (Point-in-Time)
We know what the lineage looked like on the fiscal year-end — and we can prove nobody touched it.
View capability →Data governanceGovernance Committees with Traceable Evidence
The committee does not decide in a Word document: it decides with evidence linked to the data.
View capability →Data governanceConsented and Time-Bounded Authority Delegation
Authority is not imposed: it is delegated, the delegate accepts it, and it expires on its own.
