Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 217

Which aspect of information governance BEST enables an enterprise to avoid duplication of records and promote consistency of data?

Answer options

• A. Data loss prevention (DLP)
• B. Enterprise architecture (EA)
• C. Blockchain management
• D. Data modeling

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Data modeling is essential for defining data structures and relationships, which helps prevent duplication and ensures data consistency across the organization. In contrast, Data loss prevention (DLP) focuses on protecting data from unauthorized access, Enterprise architecture (EA) deals with aligning IT strategy with business goals, and Blockchain management is related to distributed ledger technology, which does not specifically address data consistency or duplication.
