Profile

The SDE Framework allows us to establish a standard, structured profile for a data ethics framework or methodology. These profiles allow us to quickly identify the which domains are addressed by the source.
When combined with data ethics culture and strategy diagnostics performed by tools based on the same framework, we’re able to detect alignment and highlight possible challenges.
