A. Information steward

A. Information steward An information steward is responsible for overseeing the management, quality, and usage of information assets within an organization. This role plays a critical part in ensuring that data is governed effectively, adheres to regulatory requirements, meets organizational standards, and aligns with business objectives. While information auditors, analysts, and architects are also important roles within the realm of information governance, the information steward is particularly crucial as they are directly responsible for ensuring the integrity, accuracy, and appropriate use of the organization's information assets. Keeping this role in-house ensures better control, oversight, and alignment with the organization's governance framework and strategic objectives.

From a governance perspective, the role that is MOST important for an enterprise to keep in-house is typically the Information Architect (Option D). The Information Architect is responsible for designing and managing the overall structure of an organization's information assets. This role involves defining data models, ensuring data quality, and aligning information architecture with business objectives.
