C HUB26-C2 The scope is narrower than data governance at large: "CRM data governance focuses specifically on customer and revenue data inside the CRM", and "This includes contact records, company information, deal stages, contact history, and any custom properties used to track customer relationships"HubSpot. (2026)
C HUB26-C3 The four pillars are the guide's: "Effective CRM data governance rests on four core pillars: ownership, quality, compliance, and security"HubSpot. (2026)
C HUB26-C4 The controls are named as practices: "Setting up deduplication rules to catch duplicates at entry", "Making critical fields required so that records aren”'t created incomplete, and "Using validation rules to enforce formatting standards"HubSpot. (2026)
C HUB26-C5 Ownership is a named role: "every dataset and record type in a company"'s CRM "has a designated data steward who is accountable for its quality and maintenance", and the guide contrasts a central model with a "Decentralized model: Individual teams manage their own data standards and fields with minimal central oversight"HubSpot.
