Authors - Jude Osakwe, Sinte Mutelo, Nelson Osakwe Abstract - This study aimed to investigate the interrelationship between data governance and compliance with privacy regulations. A systematic literature review was conducted to synthesise the existing research on data governance's impact on compliance with privacy regulations. The study found that data governance has a positive association with compliance, with integrated data governance methods and processes supporting decision-making, and stakeholders' involvement guaranteeing transparent processes. The findings also suggested that the impact of data governance on privacy regulations compliance needs a certain maturity level and top management support. Key recommendations for organisations are outlined to enhance their governance frameworks, promote transparency, and align resources effectively in order to bolster compliance with privacy regulations. The study concludes by addressing identified research gaps and offering directions for future studies aimed at exploring the evolving landscape of data governance and privacy compliance.
