Information Governance
Information governance is the set of multi-disciplinary structures, policies, procedures, processes and controls implemented to manage information on all media in such a way that it supports an organization's immediate and future regulatory, legal, and operational requirements.
An effective information governance program should balance risk, value, and efficiency.

• Enable third parties to judge the conduct of the organization by providing administrative, fiscal, and legal accountability
• Assure the most complete historical documentation of the organization’s actions
• Maintain good business practices – information governance creates efficiency
• Reduce the burden associated with locating and preserving records that may be the subject of litigation
Create a culture whereby employees value information as a shared, corporate asset

DuPont v. KolonThe Value of a Strong Preservation Process
• Misappropriation of trade secrets, theft of business information, and conspiracy
• DuPont moved for spoliation of evidence based on evidence that emails and other documents were marked by employees for deletion
• RESULT: judge imposes an adverse inference jury instruction and awards DuPont attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs related to the motion
Take aways:• Imperative to have a preservation process in place ahead of time• Written notices should be issued to all affected employees,
tracked, and translated when necessary• Preservation should include IT early on
A thoughtful preservation process gaveDuPont a clear strategic advantage

How Mature is your IG Program?• Level 1 (Sub-standard):
– recordkeeping concerns are either not addressed at all, or in a very ad hoc manner– should be concerned that their programs will not meet legal or regulatory scrutiny
• Level 2 (In Development):– developing recognition that recordkeeping has an impact on the organization, and that the
organization may benefit from a more defined information governance program– still vulnerable to legal or regulatory scrutiny since practices are ill-defined and still largely ad
hoc in nature. • Level 3 (Essential):
– defined policies and procedures, and more specific decisions taken to improve recordkeeping– may still be missing significant opportunities for streamlining business and controlling costs
• Level 4 (Proactive): – information governance issues are integrated into business decisions on a routine basis– easily meets its legal and regulatory requirements; should begin to consider the business
benefits of information availability in transforming their organizations globally• Level 5 (Transformational):
– integrated information governance into its overall corporate infrastructure and business processes to such an extent that compliance with the program requirements is routine
– recognized that effective information governance plays a critical role in cost containment, competitive advantage, and client service

12
Where to Begin – Process
• Don’t attempt to boil the ocean – be selective
• Adopt processes with users in mind
• Establish points of sharing and collaboration
• Leverage automation where it makes sense
• Test and adjust processes periodically to improve efficiencies
