Why each option

After establishing a new department for data management, the next crucial step is to define clear roles and responsibilities to ensure effective operation and accountability.

ADevelop a business continuity plan (BCP).

Developing a BCP is important for operational resilience but is a subsequent step after defining the foundational structure and responsibilities of the new department.

BAssess the current data business model.

Assessing the current data business model is a preliminary step often done *before* or concurrently with establishing a department, not necessarily the *next* immediate action after the department's formation.

CReview data privacy requirements.

Reviewing data privacy requirements is an ongoing activity and a specific aspect of data governance that would fall under the department's mandate, but defining internal roles is more foundational.

DEstablish a RACI chartCorrect

Establishing a RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) chart is essential for a newly formed department to clearly delineate roles and responsibilities for each activity supporting data management objectives, ensuring accountability and efficient workflow. This framework provides clarity on who does what, who makes decisions, and who needs to be informed for all data management lifecycle activities.
