Information Governance & Compliance

What is it?

An information governance platform gives visibility of all structured and unstructured data within an organisation. It is required to overcome organisational, functional, and process ‘silos’ in order to reduce risks and facilitate effective tracking, monitoring, reporting, and auditing. It helps organisations understand data functions and guide decision-making to achieve business objectives. Additionally, it enables control of critical aspects of a business, such as compliance and security. An information governance will allow organsiations to realise the value of their data.

Why now?

Approximately 80% of enterprise data is currently unstructured and is continuing to grow exponentially.
Managing unstructured data has become a key challenge for all risk professionals.
Organisations of all types and sizes frequently experience problems with accessibility, usability, timeliness, and security due to poor information asset management.
With a rise in cyber attacks, protecting your sensitive data starts with knowing where it is.
Often, the same information may exist in more than one location, leading to issues with updating. Information will become more reliable by establishing a single source of truth (SSOT) through effective information governance.
Organisations must comply with information governance regulations eg. GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.
