DESCRIPTION
Information Governance depends on more than policies—it depends on how information is managed throughout its lifecycle.This session provides a high-level, practitioner-focused overview of the Information Lifecycle and the key lifecycle enablers that ensure information remains accurate, accessible, secure, compliant, and defensible. Participants will explore the major lifecycle stages and examine how breakdowns at any stage can introduce operational, legal, and reputational risk.
Designed for professionals who oversee or coordinate IG initiatives, this session focuses on the strategic oversight role: What should be happening? Where do gaps typically occur? What questions should IG leaders be asking?
