4. Information Governance
Information governance is the set of
multi-disciplinary structures, policies,
procedures, processes and controls
implemented to manage information on
all media in such a way that it supports
an organization's immediate and future
regulatory, legal, and operational
requirements.
An effective information governance program
should balance risk, value, and efficiency.

6. Objectives on an Information Governance Program
• Ensure compliance with internal and external directives
• Assist in making informed business decisions
• Enable third parties to judge the conduct of the
organization by providing administrative, fiscal, and
legal accountability
• Assure the most complete historical documentation of
the organization’s actions
• Maintain good business practices – information governance creates efficiency
• Reduce the burden associated with locating and preserving records that may
be the subject of litigation
Create a culture whereby employees value
information as a shared, corporate asset

8. DuPont v. Kolon
The Value of a Strong Preservation Process
• Misappropriation of trade secrets, theft of
business information, and conspiracy
• DuPont moved for spoliation of evidence based
on evidence that emails and other documents
were marked by employees for deletion
• RESULT: judge imposes an adverse inference jury
instruction and awards DuPont attorneys’
fees, expenses and costs related to the motion
Take aways:
• Imperative to have a preservation process in place ahead of time
• Written notices should be issued to all affected
employees, tracked, and translated when necessary
• Preservation should include IT early on
A thoughtful preservation process gave
DuPont a clear strategic advantage

10. How Mature is your IG Program?
• Level 1 (Sub-standard):
– recordkeeping concerns are either not addressed at all, or in a very ad hoc manner
– should be concerned that their programs will not meet legal or regulatory scrutiny
• Level 2 (In Development):
– developing recognition that recordkeeping has an impact on the organization, and that the
organization may benefit from a more defined information governance program
– still vulnerable to legal or regulatory scrutiny since practices are ill-defined and still largely ad
hoc in nature.
• Level 3 (Essential):
– defined policies and procedures, and more specific decisions taken to improve recordkeeping
– may still be missing significant opportunities for streamlining business and controlling costs
• Level 4 (Proactive):
– information governance issues are integrated into business decisions on a routine basis
– easily meets its legal and regulatory requirements; should begin to consider the business
benefits of information availability in transforming their organizations globally
• Level 5 (Transformational):
– integrated information governance into its overall corporate infrastructure and business
processes to such an extent that compliance with the program requirements is routine
– recognized that effective information governance plays a critical role in cost containment,
competitive advantage, and client service

Important Considerations
Ensure integration across
solutions to achieve
Consider solutions that support efficiencies

Implement solutions that
enable the sharing or transfer
of data across the enterprise;
