Built for entities standing up Data Management Offices
The NDMO framework expects every government entity to operate a Data Management Office — with defined domains, named owners, classified data, and measurable progress. Goava gives your DMO the operating platform to deliver it: a data catalog and governance suite with a bilingual interface, deployed on your own servers or in a Saudi cloud region.
DMO Operating Model
Run your Data Management Office on a platform, not spreadsheets
The NDMO framework expects entities to define data domains, assign owners and stewards, and govern data through documented processes. Goava turns that operating model into day-to-day workflows your teams actually use — in Arabic and English.
- Define data domains and data products that mirror your entity's organisational structure
- Assign a named owner to every asset, with ownership coverage tracked against KPI targets
- Route classification, glossary, and change requests through built-in tasks and approvals
- Build a business glossary your whole entity can search, with each term's Arabic and English names
Reporting Readiness
Enter reporting cycles with evidence, not estimates
Government data programs need measurable evidence across ownership, documentation, classification, quality, and remediation. Goava tracks ownership and description coverage against KPI targets, charts tier and PII coverage daily, and keeps test and incident history, so reporting is supported by current records rather than manual surveys.
- Ownership coverage: which datasets have a named owner, and which do not
- Description coverage: how much of your data estate is actually documented
- Tier and PII coverage: daily charts of what has been tiered and tagged as personal data
- Data quality test results and incident history as supporting evidence for your reports
Why government entities choose Goava
Designed for the realities of public-sector data governance in Saudi Arabia.
