About this title

From the Back Cover:

The first comprehensive approach to Information Governance

By now, everyone knows that information can be enormously valuable, but how is that value affected by the huge costs involved in storing and maintaining it? How can organizations separate the "irrelevant sludge" of information from the real data goldmines? Crucially, how can information be kept, stored, secured, accessed, and when necessary, destroyed in a way that is consistent with legal requirements? Information Governance provides answers to these questions and many more. From broad concepts to the nuts and bolts of implementation, this book is an essential first step in any successful IG program.

Information Governance is for CIOs, legal advisors, governance and compliance professionals, records managers, and anyone who is involved in managing content and information at an enterprise level. The field of IG is about more than just transferring traditional records management strategies to new technologies. Readers will learn about:

• The key components of a successful IG program
• Risk assessment for information governance
• Developing and implementing internal IG policies
• Legally defensible disposal of unneeded data
• Appraising the value of existing records and documents
• Electronic document security (EDS) technologies and policies
• IG for social media, e-mail, mobile devices, and e-records
• Privacy considerations and regulations
