Data Governance and Management Framework Charter

Provided as a benefit of a MISMO membership, the Data Governance and Management Framework Charter is designed to be used by the mortgage industry (or any industry) participants as a template for standing up a Data Governance & Management Organization within their entity.  This document is the result of a collaborative mortgage industry effort. This template may be  customized, as needed, to fit any entity's specific situation.  

Fit for Purpose Framework Sample

The Fit for Purpose Framework Sample serves as sample guidelines to help organizations establish and summarize how to categorize and govern their data. This framework sample is meant to be customized to fit an organization's own data management structure and policy guidelines, as needed, or may be used 'as is'. 

The Data Governance and Management Framework Charter were approved a FINAL in May of 2020
