DCAM
Data Management Capability Assessment Model
A capability assessment model that scores an organisation's data management maturity across eight components, from data governance and architecture to data quality and technology architecture, broken down into 34 capabilities and 101 sub-capabilities.
Widely used in banking and insurance as the structured evidence base behind BCBS 239 and comparable supervisory expectations. The assessment output is what turns "we manage our data well" into a defensible score with a remediation roadmap, run in-house or through an authorised partner.
