Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 172

From a governance perspective, which of the following roles is MOST important for an enterprise to keep in-house?

Answer options

• A. Information steward
• B. Information auditor
• C. Information analyst
• D. Information architect

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Information steward plays a vital role in managing data governance policies and ensuring data quality, making it essential to keep this role in-house to maintain control and oversight. In contrast, the Information auditor, Information analyst, and Information architect can often be supported through external partnerships or consultancy, as their roles do not require the same level of direct governance involvement.
