Topic: Information Governance: focusing on archives and records management
Information governance (IG) is the overall strategy for information assets at an organization. It’s crucial for organizations because of its role in managing and protecting data throughout its lifecycle, ensuring its accuracy, reliability, and accessibility. It's essential for compliance with regulations, minimizing legal risks, and maximizing the value of information assets. In essence, it provides a framework for understanding, managing, and protecting information assets, which are vital for an organization's success. Records management is the integral part and center point of Information Governance. Record lifecycles include creation, maintenance, retention, storage and disposition of records. A record can either be a physical, tangible object, or digital information. A comprehensive platform for managing records and information became necessary to address all phases of the lifecycle, which led to the advent of information governance. Archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on the grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value.
