Digital Information Governance is maintained as a living reference. The canonical definition and the four pillars are stable; the regulatory mappings are updated as the underlying laws and standards evolve. Material changes are dated here.
v1.0, June 2026
- Published the canonical definition of Digital Information Governance (DIG®) and established the defined-term entity (USPTO Reg. 99559923).
- Defined the four pillars: Information Provenance, Decision Traceability, Representation Integrity, and Audit Readiness.
- Mapped the pillars to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689), ISO/IEC 42001:2023, and the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act (TRAIGA).
- Published the DIG Maturity Model and the comparison set distinguishing DIG from data, information, and AI governance.
How this standard evolves
The definition is meant to be durable. When AI regulation changes, the regulatory mappings on this site are revised and noted here with a date, so practitioners can rely on one current reference rather than tracking changes across four separate regimes.
