Enterprise Information Governance Next Steps to Drive Data Value

Enterprise Information Governance expert encourages a culture of effective information governance to drive productivity, innovation and strategy—in a new article from Messaging Architects

HOBOKEN, N.J., March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and information governance expert, lays out steps to drive enterprise data value in a new article. The informative article first discusses the risks of poorly governed data compared to the opportunities created by effective information governance.

The author then urges organizations to make it a priority to find and classify sensitive data. He asserts that automated retention policies provide organizations with a method to achieve defensible compliance. He concludes by encouraging business leaders to tailor cyber security strategies to business needs and carefully control access to data.

"Most organizations have expansive caches of data," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "However, without effective enterprise information governance strategies, they fail to realize the full value of their data."

Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Enterprise Information Governance Next Steps to Drive Data Value."

Classify Sensitive Data for Effective Management

"Data classification forms the foundation of any good information governance strategy. In addition to making data visible and retrievable, classification allows data stewards to manage both data lifecycle and data security. And it aids regulatory compliance and eDiscovery."

Ensure Compliance and Improve Data Quality with Retention Policies

"Automated retention policies, tied to data type, provide organizations with a defensible way to achieve compliance while removing obsolete data. Keep in mind that ePolicies should be reviewed regularly to ensure that they support evolving regulatory requirements and business priorities."

Tailor Cyber Security Strategies to Business Needs

"Cyber security forms one of the pillars of effective information governance. Privacy regulations mandate that organizations take reasonable precautions to protect sensitive data from breach. But in an increasingly complex cyber environment, organization must move past checkbox compliance to match security measures to identified risks and cover all data platforms."

Carefully Control Access to Data

"Another critical element of data security involves controlling access to data. Hackers commonly use compromised credentials to gain access to corporate data. Consequently, applying principles of least privilege and zero trust offer important protections."

The consultants at Messaging Architects help organizations identify the best next steps in building an effective information governance strategy.
