throughout the full data life cycle involves the collaboration of several
stakeholder groups across the organization. For example, individuals who serve

compliance, privacy, and various other departments at their organizations play

management policies and procedures. In this assignment, you will discuss the
key responsibilities of two of these roles and propose approaches they could
use to govern the data life cycle.

to data protection, storage, access/authorization, and destruction to propose
five best practices each role should apply to ensure the privacy and security
of health data.
