OUR BIG DATA APPROACH TO GOVERNANCE
Every day, GVG processes billion of data sets, turning them into actionable information for government institutions, regulators, central banks, and revenue authorities.
We pioneered a data-driven approach to governance and regulation, being the very first to apply it to the oversight of telecom and financial services in emerging countries as early as 2005. Since then, we delivered over 30 data centers and IT facilities to our clients.
Big Data can do a lot to improve financial and overall performance of government institutions and regulatory bodies. We assist them in reaping its full benefits.
GVG monitors, collects and analyses data from crucial economic sectors and turns it into actionable information. We promote data-driven decision-making.
By providing reliable and comprehensive information on the volume handled by each operator we contribute to the visibility and transparency of regulated economic sectors, including the telecom and financial sectors.
DATA
ACCESS
Regulation is key to access data.
Regardless which entity is implementing and approving the regulation, the Regulatory Body is in charge of the implementation.
Collaboration between Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and the local authorities is crucial to ensure secure access to quality data.
data collection
DATA
COLLECTION
The data comes directly from telecom networks and relevant mobile transaction streams.
We ensure a reliable data aggregation and have pioneered the mining of telecom data for critical purposes.
By making use of the data collected, the impact of policies and decisions can be seen, assessed and redefined.
data protection
DATA
PROTECTION
Only 52% of African countries have data protection legislation in force. An adequate legal framework for data protection at continental level would be essential to promote its benefits in society, following the BEST PRACTICES.
WE PSEUDONYMIZE
Pseudonymization is the process of switching personal dat set into an alias or pseudonym.
data SOVEREIGNTY
DATA
SOVEREIGNTY
DATA MUST STAY IN-COUNTRIES
In order to achieve Data and digital sovereignty, states invoke it to assert control over their ‘cyber-jurisdictions’ for purposes of digital development and national security as well as avoiding data leakage.
