DESCRIPTION
Information is the new currency. For you to protect it, you need to understand its value. Effective information governance that aligns with the overall risk management optimizes to leverage and protect information assets.
Organisations must first know their data to better manage and protect their information assets. Reliable and actionable retention policies and procedures help organisations reduce corporate risk, control legal, IT and business costs and derive additional value from existing information asset portfolios.
