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.

Objectives on an Information Governance Program• Ensure compliance with internal and external directives

• Assist in making informed business decisions

• 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

Where to Begin – Policy

• Develop, document and enforce consistent policies

• Know where your records are stored

• Distinguish records from non-records; tie a value to information assets

Page 12: Information governance process & technology

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
