In times of information overload and digitalisation, proper information and data management is indispensable but complex. Often there is no holistic approach to ensure the availability, confidentiality, integrity and traceability of information and data. The result is for example information and digital data that is duplicated, stored in different locations, cannot be found or is inaccessible. This is where the «Mindset Information Governance» comes into play.
The company’s internal implementation of the «Mindset Information Governance» delivers the desired holistic approach: company information is managed by means of defined processes, roles, controls and metrics that consistently treat information as a valuable business asset.
Information governance can be seen as a strategy to maximise the value of the information handled by the company and to minimise the resources, costs and risks associated with the handling of this information. It provides the framework for the secure, confidential and legally compliant handling of information and is an important and strategic part of corporate governance.
Information governance is both an opportunity and a challenge. We ensure that you master this challenge efficiently and no longer want to miss out on the benefits of information governance.
