What Rayterton delivers

Core components of the consulting suite

The engagement is modular. You can start with rapid gap assessment and roadmap, then extend into implementation of control frameworks, tooling, and operating processes.

Data governance framework and policies

Design or refine enterprise data governance framework, including roles, decision rights, stewardship model, and data domain ownership. Deliverables usually include policy set, standard templates, and governance committee charters.

Data lineage and metadata management

Establish practical lineage from source systems to reports and AI models, supported by metadata standards and catalog structure. This helps teams understand where data comes from, how it is transformed, and who is accountable.

Data quality rules engine and monitoring

Define critical data elements, quality dimensions, and rule sets for key domains such as customers, exposures, transactions, and reference data. Implement dashboards for quality scorecards, issue workflow, and remediation tracking.

Data privacy and protection controls

Map personal data flows, classify sensitive attributes, and design controls for consent, access, retention, and anonymisation. Aligns with local data protection law and sector regulations while remaining workable for business teams.

Master data and reference data management

Identify critical master data entities such as parties, products, accounts, and organisational structures. Develop golden record strategy, matching and survivorship rules, and integration pattern with core banking and risk systems.

Support for AI and regulatory reporting

Ensure that AI governance and regulatory reports are linked to governed data sets. Provide lineage documentation, quality evidence, and data control checklists that can be reused in model validation and supervisory discussions.
