Data Quality
Priorities & Needs
CDAO Mandate

“The CDAO... will lead and oversee DoD’s strategy development


and policy formulation for data, analytics, and AI; work to break
down barriers to data and AI adoption within appropriate DoD
institutional processes; and create enabling digital infrastructure
and services that support Components’ development and
deployment of data, analytics, AI, and digital-enabled solutions.”

-Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, 1 Feb 2022

Key Takeaways - BLUF

• Democratizing data access and maturing feedback loops between


producers and consumers is central to unlocking the potential of DoD’s
data to deliver decision advantage

• We are building the framework for DoD’s data ecosystem – including


people, process and technology

• Quality data is the foundation for trusted analytics and AI

• DoD cannot address all data challenges at once – priorities:


• Foundational enterprise data: personnel, logistics, and finance
• End-user facing capability for marquee customers: OSD & CCMDs

Data Leadership
Quality Data is dependent on Empowered Leaders
• Organized for governance ‘at cascading levels’
• Making the right decisions at the right level
• Accelerating internal processes for responsible data sharing
• Maintaining alignment as data stewardship ranks are filled
• Empowered with authorities, resources, and organizational alignment
necessary to drive internal reforms

Federated governance is sustainable and scalable governance

Data Policy and Standards

Quality Data depends on policy – ensuring tools and


processes embody our culture as per Data Decrees Guidance in CDAO development
• Policy safeguards against new dark data sources - "no new bad"
Visible – Cataloging sensitive data
• Technical approaches to implement Data Strategy - (VAULTIS)
Accessible – Strategic approaches for
• Guidance after experimentation, shaped by enterprise data
access control and digital policy administration
architects
Understandable – Strategic approach to
building the canonical controlled vocabulary
Linked – Generation and use of globally unique
identifiers
Trustworthy – Metadata profiles (bills of
material), including data provenance and lineage
Interoperable – Metadata standards supporting
primary exchange patterns
Secure – Data standards required for Zero Trust

Sustainable change requires policy updates in data management, acquisition and cybersecurity
