3) Access controls — who can access what data? Approval process for sensitive data access
4) Data retention — how long is data kept? When and how is it deleted?
5) Acceptable use — what is data allowed to be used for? What is prohibited?

Output: Data governance policy. Classification schema. Ownership matrix. Access control procedure. Retention schedule. Acceptable use statement.
