A Masterclass for Information Leaders: Information Governance & Data Frameworks
This webinar will teach you what the components of a good information governance framework are, and will explain the benefits that it has to an organisation.
An information and data framework is critical for effective information governance as it provides a structured approach to managing your organisation's data assets. As an information leader, it's essential to develop a framework underpinned by a business classification scheme to understand the nature, risks, and value of your data.
The framework should outline the governance structures within your organisation, highlighting accountability, responsibility, and key roles, whether in the public or private sector. It should also set high-level policies in the context of your organisation, based on business outcomes, risk appetite, and cultural factors.
It's important to communicate to your company how the framework will improve the day-to-day lives of colleagues, while also emphasizing regulatory and statutory compliance.
By the end of the webinar, you'll have gained the confidence and knowledge to be able to provide evidence and justification to your senior management team, and ensure their buy-in to a good information governance framework.
