Information Governance


Increase Efficiency. Mitigate Risk. Protect your Reputation.

​Over time, stored information loses value, grows increasingly complex, and becomes a liability rather than an asset. Good information governance practices will solve that problem.

Our Strategies

Initial Assessment and Data Map

  • Assessing your organization’s current practices, policies and standards
  • ​Inventorying existing digital information sources, summarized in an easy to read “information data map”

Gap Analysis

  • ​Identifying areas for improvement and providing recommendations for processes, practices, and technology solutions
  • ​Advising on methods for reducing storage and legally-defensible disposition strategy

Policies & Procedures

  • Drafting information governance and related policies and procedures; providing legal opinions on existing policy
  • Developing critical audit processes to ensure the strategy is implemented and legally defensible

Technology Selection

  • Recommending records management and other technology solutions to suit your organization
  • Ensuring minimal disruption by recommending a back-end solution to auto-classify and appropriately retain records

Risk Management

  • ​Mitigating the reputational and financial impact of a potential cyber breach
  • ​Identifying organizational risks associated with your data and developing strategies to mitigate those risks
