Confident data governance starts with knowing exactly where you stand today. Many organisations recognise the need for governance but struggle to see their current position, identify gaps, and know where to focus first. Simpson Associates’ Data Governance Maturity Assessment benchmarks your governance capability against recognised practices, identifying strengths, gaps and risks across strategy, ownership, policies, data quality and culture.
With a clear governance baseline and a prioritised view of what to improve, organisations can reduce risk, strengthen compliance and build the foundations needed for confident AI adoption.
Discover how our Data Governance Maturity Assessment gives you a structured starting point, helping you prioritise action and unlock greater value from your data and AI investments.
Cloud migration isn’t just moving files between servers, it’s about keeping data secure, compliant, and usable throughout the move.
Data governance provides the framework to migrate with confidence, reducing risk and setting your organisation up for AI readiness.
Establishing data governance is one thing, keeping it active is another. Many organisations successfully build governance structures, accountability models, and quality frameworks, but struggle to maintain momentum once implementation is complete. Governance councils lose focus, policies become outdated, and reporting grows inconsistent. Simpson Associates’ Data Governance Assurance Toolkit provides ongoing specialist support, combining governance reviews, council facilitation, toolkit maintenance, and reporting to keep your framework current and effective.
With governance kept aligned to changing business priorities and regulatory requirements, organisations sustain governance maturity, reduce compliance and operational risk, and free internal teams from added pressure.
Discover how the Data Governance Assurance Toolkit keeps your governance framework active and effective long after implementation, helping you build the foundations needed for confident, responsible AI adoption.

Building a data strategy is straightforward. Sticking to it is where most organisations fall down. Data often sits scattered across departments and systems, with no shared view of where it’s heading or how success will be measured. Add inconsistent data quality and thin governance into the mix, and even a well-intentioned strategy loses credibility fast. The Simpson Associates Data Strategy Accelerator gets ahead of this by assessing your current data landscape from the outset, pairing a maturity benchmark with a practical, prioritised roadmap so direction is set before momentum is lost.
Because the roadmap reflects your organisation’s actual maturity and objectives, rather than a generic template, teams spend less time debating priorities and more time acting on them, with data silos broken down and governance built in from the start rather than bolted on later.
See how the Data Strategy Accelerator turns ambition into a workable plan from day one, giving your organisation the groundwork it needs for confident, data-led decisions going forward.
“Operating in a complex regulatory environment, we needed a more structured and reliable way to understand our current position and demonstrate progress over time. Working with Simpson Associates and Microsoft Purview gives us a structured, consistent way to assess where we are today and plan how we improve over time.”
Michael Magdech, IT Director at Nelson Global
