[IG Mastery Session 8] Burning Questions: Search, Privacy, and Control

•

DESCRIPTION

When information is locked down, work slows. When it’s wide open, risk spikes. This session shows you how to strike the right balance by aligning access, search, and privacy within the IGIM Capabilities domain. You’ll learn practical ways to design role-based access that supports productivity, strengthen search and retrieval with metadata and taxonomy, and meet evolving privacy expectations—without creating friction for users.

Through clear frameworks and real-world examples, you’ll see how to:

• Map roles to permissions and apply least privilege consistently
• Improve findability with metadata, classification, and governance-aware search
• Integrate privacy-by-design using lightweight assessments and review cycles
• Track what matters with metrics that reveal risk, usability gaps, and progress

Walk away with actionable steps, oversight checklists, and decision criteria you can use to create information ecosystems that are both secure and usable.
 

Learning Objectives

After participating in this session, attendees should be able to:

• Differentiate common access control approaches (e.g., role-based versus exception-based) and select a model that supports least-privilege access for their environment.
• Map user roles to permissions and outline a repeatable provisioning, de-provisioning, and periodic access review cadence.
• Evaluate metadata and taxonomy improvements that measurably increase search success and reduce retrieval time.
• Identify when a Privacy Impact Assessment is warranted and summarize the high-level steps, stakeholders, and deliverables involved.
• Interpret core metrics for access, privacy, and search to prioritize remediation and escalate material risks.
