The Division of Data (DOD) was formed in October 2020 as part of an agency reorganization, incorporating data reporting and analysis functions previously housed in the Department of Market Oversight (DMO) and additional analytics functions located throughout the Commission.
DOD’s mission is to enable better decision-making and policy making through better data and analytics throughout the enterprise. The DOD communicates vision for the Commission, by ensuring privacy, security, governance and industry data standards are incorporated into requirements, and ensuring that business needs continue to be met with respect to data.
About the Division
DOD is responsible for the Commission’s enterprise data strategy and data governance approaches. DOD creates data architecture and centers of excellence for analytics, visualization, and storage of data. In addition, DOD supports the Commission’s strategic objectives with respect to data and analytics through collaboration with other Divisions and Offices, including ingest of data from registered entities pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and Commission regulations, as well as integration of that data with other data sources.
