Hi community 👋 We’ve recently published our The Ataccama Data Trust Report 2025, where we found a significant 20% of businesses lack a formal data governance framework, hindering their ability to fully capitalize on AI opportunities. The report also highlights that while 42% of organizations prioritize regulatory compliance, only 26% focus on it within their data teams, indicating a gap that could lead to regulatory fines and erosion of customer trust. To bridge this gap, it's essential to implement robust data governance practices, ensuring data accuracy, security, and compliance. This not only mitigates risks but also builds a solid foundation for AI and other data-driven initiatives.​ Understanding your organization's data trust level is a vital step toward achieving these goals. How? We invite you to participate in our 3-minute Data Trust Survey to assess your data trust score🎯.
