Riassunto

Proven and emerging strategies for addressing document and records management risk within the framework of information governance principles and best practices

Information Governance (IG) is a rapidly emerging "super discipline" and is now being applied to electronic document and records management, email, social media, cloud computing, mobile computing, and, in fact, the management and output of information organization-wide. IG leverages information technologies to enforce policies, procedures and controls to manage information risk in compliance with legal and litigation demands, external regulatory requirements, and internal governance objectives. Information Governance: Concepts, Strategies, and Best Practices reveals how, and why, to utilize IG and leverage information technologies to control, monitor, and enforce information access and security policies.

• Written by one of the most recognized and published experts on information governance, including specialization in e-document security and electronic records management
• Provides big picture guidance on the imperative for information governance and best practice guidance on electronic document and records management
• Crucial advice and insights for compliance and risk managers, operations managers, corporate counsel, corporate records managers, legal administrators, information technology managers, archivists, knowledge managers, and information governance professionals

IG sets the policies that control and manage the use of organizational information, including social media, mobile computing, cloud computing, email, instant messaging, and the use of e-documents and records. This extends to e-discovery planning and preparation. Information Governance: Concepts, Strategies, and Best Practices provides step-by-step guidance for developing information governance strategies and practices to manage risk in the use of electronic business documents and records.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Big Data is here to stay. It has been estimated that 90% of thedata in the world today was created in the last two years. At theenterprise level, though, only about a quarter of this dataactually has business value. Storing and maintaining unneeded“data debris” is costly and diverts resources away fromthe management of high value information. Organizations need toadopt information governance (IG) policies in order to streamlineand systematize approaches to Big Data and to more efficiently meetcompliance and legal demands. Information Governance is thefirst book to address both the big-picture concepts and the proven,detailed best practices that are central to deploying IG.

This book addresses the five key impact areas of IG, as set outin the Information Governance Reference Model (IGRM): LegalFunctions, Records and Information Management (RIM), InformationTechnology (IT), Privacy & Security, and Business Operations.Leading subject matter experts such as Barclay Blair, MonicaCrocker, Charles Dollar, Randy Kahn, Esq., Barry Murphy, and othersprovide valuable new insights. Specific recommended processes,technologies, and best practices are presented in a clear,understandable format. For mid- and large-sized enterprises,information is a key source of value. But retaining excessiveinformation also carries legal and compliance risks. InInformation Governance, Robert Smallwood demonstrates justhow costly mismanaged information can be. To minimize risk relatedto poor IG, organizations need to pare information down to theessentials and secure it properly. Inside, learn how to do thesethings the right way, to ensure compliance with internal governancerequirements and external regulatory and legal demands.

If information governance is so important, why have IG programsnot been adopted by more organizations? And more importantly, whyhave so many existing IG programs failed so miserably? Smallwoodexplains that costs and benefits associated with informationgovernance are still not widely understood. In the pages ofInformation Governance, the author builds the business casefor IG through a comprehensive, pioneering approach forinformation-related risk assessments that leverages high valueinformation.

Carrying out well-considered IG initiatives is not easy,particularly when so much valuable information is stored andaccessed by third-party service providers. Social media, mobilecomputing, and cloud computing, and certainly traditional e-mail,are exposed to leakage and theft risks. Even discarding unneededinformation in a legally defensible way can be quite challenging.Information Governance addresses the practicalities ofmanaging these various information platforms. This comprehensivebook—the most comprehensive ever compiled on IG—is anessential resource to equip enterprises with a sound approach togoverning and leveraging information in the age of Big Data.
