Information Governance Definition
"Information governance involves locating and managing data across the enterprise. Thus, it encompasses the policies, processes, roles, and responsibilities used to store and secure data. This includes managing the data lifecycle, optimizing identity and access management and monitoring sensitive data."
Business Benefits of Information Governance
"Reduce costs and risks – A clear and consistent framework for information management helps companies avoid duplication and errors that can lead to inefficiencies, quality issues and legal liabilities. Further, optimizing storage and archiving strategies saves money and resources."
"Improve decision making and performance – With accurate, reliable, and timely information easily accessible, businesses make informed decisions to support business objectives. Teams can also monitor and measure performance against key indicators and identify areas for improvement and innovation."
Getting Started
"Start by assessing the current state of information management. This includes identifying the types of information, where it is stored, how it is accessed and who owns it. It also involves noting how the information is used and what risks and challenges it poses. Tools such as data mapping and data risk assessments make this step much easier."
