Robert F Smallwood: Information Governance, Gebunden

Klappentext

There has been a "perfect storm" of sorts that fueled concerns for information privacy, data protection, and regulatory compliance. The 2018 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), amidst the drumbeat of colossal data breaches and major privacy violations, ignited a wave of increased activity in the field of information governance (IG). In today's environment, it is vital that business managers have a clear understanding of the methods and best practices used to control and secure information, and the opportunities to leverage information asset value. That requires an effective IG program.

The revised and updated Second Edition of Information Governance offers an important guide that reviews the basic concepts of IG, defines what it is (and what it is not), explains how to justify and implement an IG program, and explores ways to secure and control information while maximizing its value using infonomics principles.

The discipline of IG covers a range of components: privacy, cybersecurity, e-discovery and law, records management, compliance, information technology, risk management, business operations, and more. Filled with illustrative examples and written in clear language, Information Governance addresses the many aspects of IG with actionable strategies and proven best practices.

Written by a noted expert in the field with contributions from a number of industry pioneers and experts, Information Governance explains how to plan and manage a cohesive and effective IG program. The contributors offer guidance and insights for managing IG programs from a variety of perspectives. The risks inherent in managing information are considered, and the book explores how to apply IG to a number of platforms including email, social media, mobile devices, and cloud computing, as well as governing newer technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain.

The author offers insight for implementing and maintaining an effective IG program and includes recommendations for fostering a culture of compliance. In addition, the book contains important information on major regulations related to privacy, data protection, and records management. It also shows how to break down traditional information silos using a cross-functional approach, and what IG looks like in the Legal, IT, Privacy and Security, and Records Management functions which support business operations.
