Ensuring trust, transparency, and regulatory alignment across the data lifecycle.
For banks and financial institutions, data governance is not optional — it is foundational. With intensifying regulatory scrutiny, increasing data volumes, and growing AI adoption, the ability to manage, protect, and govern data has become a strategic differentiator. At Eklogi Consulting, we help BFSI organizations design and implement comprehensive data governance frameworks that align business goals with regulatory mandates. Our approach combines policy design, operating model setup, lineage visibility, and technology enablement — empowering institutions to establish trusted, compliant, and auditable data ecosystems that support both innovation and assurance.
Data is the lifeblood of financial enterprises — flowing through customer interactions, transactions, compliance systems, and analytics platforms. However, without a structured governance framework, it can become a liability rather than an asset.
Regulatory expectations such as BCBS 239, GDPR, and India's DPDP Act (2023) now mandate transparency, data lineage, and accountability across all data processes. For BFSI institutions, this means moving beyond ad hoc data management toward formalized, measurable governance models that enable trust, auditability, and consistency.
Inability to demonstrate traceability, lineage, or audit trails for data.
