Digital transformation has expanded the production, circulation, and use of data and information in the public sector, making information governance, personal data protection, and transparency central elements of contemporary public management. In this context, this study analyzes how these dimensions interact in shaping information integrity within the Brazilian Public Administration. The research is documentary in nature, adopting a descriptive and analytical approach based on the collection and analysis of secondary data from public institutional databases, technical reports, regulatory documents, and official indicators. The empirical corpus includes data from the Fala.BR/e-SIC system, rulings and reports issued by the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU), regulations related to data protection and digital government, and information from the Public Transparency and Governance Index. Data were examined through descriptive statistics and interpretative documentary analysis and organized into five analytical dimensions: institutional information behavior, decision-making structure of access to information, public governance, data protection maturity, and transparency performance. The findings indicate advances in transparency and the digitalization of public services, while also revealing challenges related to the consolidation of information governance and the implementation of the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD). The study concludes that information integrity depends on the articulation between governance mechanisms, regulatory compliance, information quality, and institutional transparency.
