Stop flying blind with your data
Our DAMA® Assessment gets you a clear, honest picture of your data maturity so you can build the foundations for AI, analytics and transformation that actually work.

- Know what to fix - and why it matters
- Build stronger foundations for AI and compliance
Map data maturity with DAMA
If you’re trying to scale AI or digital transformation without understanding your data maturity, you’re building on shaky ground.
That’s where DAMA comes in. DAMA stands for Data Management Association and its the gold standard framework for data maturity.
Why does it matter?
The race to use data for AI, automation and compliance is moving fast, but without solid foundations, progress stalls and risks multiply.
Our DAMA Assessment gives you the clarity to overcome:
- Disconnected governance - when policies exist, but no accountability
- Misaligned strategy - when data priorities and business strategy drift apart
- Inconsistent data quality - when unreliable data leads to bad decisions and lost trust
- Duplicated effort - when teams do the same thing because there's no shared direction or framework
- Hidden risk - when you can't evidence control to regulators or prove readiness for AI
- Wasted investment - when tools are bought before the basics are in place
What's the assessment process?
We work with you to build living architecture that’s tailored, practical and designed to evolve with your business.
No doubt I have real experts working with my team… passionate about Data Management.

Common questions
DAMA DMBOK2 is a global guide to good data management. It was created by the Data Management Association (DAMA) to help data leaders define all the data capabilities your organisation should have to manage data responsibly.
This is not another tick-box exercise. We go deep through structured workshops, executive interviews and evidence-based scoring. This is so we give you context and evidence to make your score real.
We can scale from light-touch projects (est. 2-3 weeks) to enterprise-wide review (several months). We'll fit the scope to suit your needs.
That's the perfect time to start. That way you'll have a clear view of where to begin and how to grow.
Each data framework has a purpose.
- DAMA: Measures how well you manage data across the lifecycle.
- DCAM: Measures your capability to do data management.
- CMDC: Focuses on controls for data in the cloud and your readiness for scalable automation.
Using them together forms a maturity and control ecosystem - and we can help you navigate all three, separately or together.
