Data Governance Policy

The data used by Envalis forms the basis of the analytical process and is of key importance for the quality and reliability of the analyses prepared. The purpose of the data governance rules is to ensure the integrity, consistency, currency and security of data throughout its entire life cycle.

Envalis adopts an approach in which data is treated as an element requiring control, verification and responsible use. The data used in the analyses comes from reliable sources, and its selection is justified by the nature of the project being analysed.

Each data set used in the models has a defined source, scope and context of application. Data is verified for consistency, completeness and adequacy before it is used in an analysis.

Envalis ensures the traceability of data, meaning the ability to link the results of an analysis to specific input data and its source. This process includes documenting the sources of data, the scope of its use and any material transformations.

As part of data governance, change control is applied, covering updates to data and their impact on the results of analyses. Any material changes to the data used in the models are documented in a manner that allows them to be reproduced and their impact on the results to be assessed.

Envalis applies the principle of proportionality, according to which the scope and level of detail of data are adapted to the nature of the project and the purpose of the analysis. The aim is to maintain a balance between the accuracy of an analysis and its transparency and usefulness.

The data used by Envalis is protected against unauthorised access. Organisational and technical measures are applied to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data solely to authorised persons.

In the case of sensitive or confidential data, Envalis applies additional protective measures consistent with applicable law and information security standards.

Envalis seeks to ensure the consistency of data across different analyses and projects, which enables the comparability of results and the building of a stable basis for decision-making.

The aim of Envalis is to maintain a standard of data governance that ensures the reliability, transparency and responsible use of data in the analytical process.

The detailed rules for data processing, the data structures and the methodology for their use are the property of Envalis and are not publicly disclosed.
