The author then recommends that organizations begin by learning what data they have and where it lives. A data audit involving data mapping, determining data quality, and assessing data processes and information security helps the organization define its vision and goals for information governance. After briefly discussing data classification, he urges readers to define data lifecycle policies, ensure compliance management, and build comprehensive data security.
“An effective information governance strategy helps organizations achieve strategic goals while reducing risk,” related Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at eGovernance. “However, implementing effective information governance requires careful planning and coordination.”
Below are a few excerpts from the article, “Effective Information Governance Strategy Drives Data Value and Supports Business Goals.”
Locate and Classify Data
“Manually locating and tagging data proves difficult if not impossible at scale. But AI-powered tools automate the process of finding and classifying data wherever it lives. Properly classified data simplifies regulatory compliance and eases the eDiscovery process.”

Define and Implement Data Lifecycle Policies
“Data classification plays a key role in enforcing data retention and destruction policies. Regulations such as PCI DSS and HIPAA include strict rules around the minimum amount of time to retain certain types of information. On the other hand, information retained too long can become a liability.”
Ensure Compliance Management
“To address mandates from a wide variety of regulations, an effective information governance strategy should include regular compliance monitoring. eGovernance monitoring tools deliver visibility into sensitive data from a single console. Content alerts and reports allow for proactive remediation. And monitoring provides proof of policy demanded by many regulations.”
Build Comprehensive Data Security
“Data security works hand in hand with compliance monitoring as an essential element of information governance. While regulatory compliance mandates reasonable security precautions, organizations must move beyond checkbox compliance to protect against data breaches.”
