Abstract

Information is the lifeblood of any modern-day business. Companies succeed or falter based on the reliability, availability and security of their data. Strategically created enterprise-wide frameworks that define how information is controlled, accessed and used are the most critical elements in a successful information management program. This framework is information governance.

This white paper gives an insight on why information governance is important, where to begin with the information governance and what needs to be considered in information governance polices. Information governance policies as they relate to crisis management and e-discovery as well as general information governance control points are also described.
