identifying, by a data source management circuitry of an information manager, a data requirement event;

identifying, by the data source management circuitry, an internal source of data relevant to the data requirement event;

computing, by the data source management circuitry, a data quality score for the internal source of the data, wherein the data quality score is based on at least one of a computational metric or a security metric associated with the internal source of the data;

computing, by the data source management circuitry, a second data quality score for a third-party source, wherein the second data quality score is based on at least one of a computational metric or a security metric associated with the third-party source;

determining, by the data source management circuitry, an entity associated with a preferred source of data based (a) on the data quality score and (b) the second data quality score, wherein the entity is the internal source of the data or the third-party source;

obtaining, by the data source management circuitry, the data from the entity; and

providing, by a services circuitry of the information manager, computer-implemented services based on the data.
