In the social housing sector, data is more than just numbers on a spreadsheet, it’s the foundation for safe homes, efficient services, and regulatory compliance. Yet, many housing providers still struggle with fragmented systems, inconsistent data quality, and unclear accountability. As the sector faces increasing scrutiny and regulatory pressure, particularly in the wake of Awaab’s Law, robust data governance is no longer optional. It’s essential.

• Regulatory reform: The Social Housing (Regulation) Act and the new proactive consumer regulation regime demand better transparency and accountability.
• Digital transformation: As housing providers modernise, data must be clean, connected, and governed to support automation and analytics.
