What is an Unmanaged Data Store?

An unmanaged data store refers to a storage system or repository that lacks proper control, organization, or governance. In such environments, data is often stored haphazardly without clear data management policies, access controls, or documentation. Unmanaged data stores can lead to data silos, security vulnerabilities, and challenges in data retrieval and analysis. Effective data management practices aim to transform unmanaged data stores into well-structured and controlled repositories.
