## Description

 * Advises on how classification requirements should be reflected in the data lakehouse's bronze/silver/gold tiering and retention policy.

Program-Wide Compliance Presence: maintains a recurring governance presence beyond the data workstream

 * Maintains a compliance presence across the broader program alongside the Delivery Manager and Project Manager, particularly around the CUI cutover.
