EU Data Governance Act (DGA) for Auditors
What does EU Data Governance Act (DGA) require of a Auditor?
Regulation (EU) 2022/868 (the Data Governance Act, DGA) establishes EU horizontal rules for data governance. Under EU Data Governance Act (DGA), which defines 19 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which EU Data Governance Act (DGA) controls land on the Auditor
Internal Auditors assess whether compliance controls are operating effectively. They plan and execute audit engagements, evaluate evidence, report findings, and track remediation of identified gaps and nonconformities.
EU Data Governance Act (DGA) defines 19 controls across 7 domains that directly affect the Auditor role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
