Are you failing to enforce accountability for master data quality, leaving your organisation exposed to compliance breaches, operational errors, and costly audit findings?

How This Helps You
This self-assessment equips you to detect hidden weaknesses in your MDM data stewardship framework before they trigger regulatory penalties, reconciliation failures, or project delays. By answering 247 targeted questions modelled on DAMA-DMBOK2, ISO 8000, and COBIT 5, you gain a clear, auditable view of where your programme stands, and exactly what to fix. The automated scoring system identifies whether your escalation paths are documented, whether stewardship roles are integrated into job descriptions, and whether policy exceptions are properly governed. Without this tool, you risk operating with blind spots that can lead to failed audits, inconsistent master data, and loss of stakeholder trust. With it, you create a defensible, transparent, and continuously improvable stewardship model that supports scalable MDM success and strengthens your organisation’s data governance posture.
