Despite the increase in the number of research papers in these areas, scholarly articles defining cyber risk are relatively scarce.

The paper contributes to the literature on the cyber risk, cybersecurity and cyber risk management.
Data Governance and Data Policies at the European Commission
Data governance sets out a framework with clear roles, and the responsibilities and interdependencies of those roles.
Data policies introduce common principles, guidance and working practices in the areas of data management, data interoperability

Corporate data policies do not specify detailed processes. This allows Directorates-General (DGs)/services to organise themselves in the way that best suits their internal organisation,
while ensuring coordination and alignment across the Commission, including its executive agencies.
