This begins with building relationships with the data stewards and data owners who entrust you with the data they are responsible for protecting. Being familiar with data security, data custody controls and your institution's sensitive information practices is a good start, but you also need to be able to understand your data needs, and be able to communicate, in a common language, what these needs are. It is about asking the right questions, to the right people, in a manner that demonstrates you understand the data, its sensitivity, and its limitations. Likewise, it is having the ability to respond to those in your organization who are the system matter experts with regards to the data you are analyzing. This means understanding the language they use – the Geek Speak.
