NATO releases framework for improving data quality across the Alliance
06 August 2025
2 MIN READ
On 6 August 2025, NATO approved the public version of its Data Quality Framework, a cornerstone of the Alliance’s digital transformation. This strategic guidance reinforces NATO’s commitment to harnessing data as a critical asset for operational advantage.
Strengthening the Data Ecosystem
The Data Quality Framework complements existing data-centric initiatives, namely the Data Strategy for the Alliance, the Data Centric Reference Architecture, and the Digital Transformation Implementation Strategy. This set of policies is helping NATO deliver a unified approach to data excellence, ensuring that information is accurate, complete and reliable, which is essential for enabling multi-domain operations.
Lifecycle Management
The Data Quality Framework provides a common methodology for managing data quality across NATO and among Allies. It:
- defines key dimensions and measurable indicators (accuracy, completeness, consistency, uniqueness, timeliness, validity, granularity) to evaluate data, from initial ingestion through final use;
- includes guidance on governance processes and technology enablers that support automated validation, lineage tracking and metadata management;
- aligns data management practices with NATO’s AI Principles of Responsible Use, ensuring that machine learning models and analytics tools operate on trusted, reliably sourced inputs.
By embedding rigorous data quality practices, NATO advances its data-centric initiatives such as the Alliance Data Sharing Ecosystem. These efforts strengthen confidence in the data that drives both day-to-day operations and strategic decisions, while laying the foundation for responsible AI deployments across the Alliance.
