Who does RecordLion Serve?
Records Managers who need to follow a formal declaration and disposition process
IG professionals who need one set of policies to apply enterprise wide
Organizations in need of better records management than SharePoint offers out of the box
IT departments with too much unorganized and unstructured data on their network file shares
Information Governance
Maturity Model
• Sets standard of conduct and how to judge your organizations IG maturity
• Independent of Laws and Regulations
• Based on ARMA Generally Accepted Record Keeping Principles
• http://www.arma.org/docs/bookstore/theprinciplesmaturitymodel.pdf
The Principles
• Senior Executive oversightAccountability
• Documented program and available to everyoneTransparency
•Reasonable assurance that data is authentic and reliableIntegrity
•Records protected according to sensitivity and privacyProtection
•Comply with laws, regulations and organization policiesCompliance
•Timely and efficient retrievalAvailability
•Keep records according to legal, regulatory, fiscal, operational and historical requirementsRetention
•Dispose of data that has expired according to retentionDisposition
10ThingsYou’ll Need…
to apply the model in SharePoint
#1 - Access Control
Protection
Integrity
Compliance
Web Application
• Scope for AnonymousAccess
Site Collection
• Highest Permission Level
SharePoint / SharePoint Online
• Each can have separate
administrator
• Give users broad level access at this
level
Site
• By default sites take on site
collection permissions
• Beware of letting site owners
control permissions
• Micro management leads to data
breaches
Library / List
• By default libraries take on site
permissions
Item
• 5,000 limit default and
recommended by Microsoft
• 50,000 maximum per list (hard
limit)
• Performance implications as you go
past the 5K recommendation
Meta Data
• Using Meta Data to control security
requires customizations
• Securing Meta Data columns also
requires customizations
Roadmap
#2 - Taxonomy Plan
Protection
Availability
Too many SharePoint Implementations
fail due to poor or no taxonomy!
• In short, a systematic way to organize content
What is aTaxonomy?
• Site Collections
• Sites
• Libraries
• Folders
• ContentTypes
• Terms (Managed Meta Data)
SharePoint taxonomy entities
Taxonomy Types
Location Based
• Sites/Libraries/Folders
• Folders can drive Meta
Data
• Simplifies Security
• Users Browse for Items
• Discourages Search
Content Type Based
• Put Content Anywhere
• Encourages Search
• Complicates Security
• Complicates Admin
• Beware of ContentType
Creep
ContentType + Meta Data
Based
• Put Content Anywhere
• Terms =Types of
Information
• Encourages Search
• Simplifies Taxonomy
Creation
Consider New ContentTypes for:
Search/Meta Data/Retention/Workflow
DON’T
Create just because of document types
Taxonomy Examples
Meta Data/Term Store
What is a Retention Schedule (or File Plan)?
A set of instructions allocated to a class or file to determine the
length of time for which its records should be retained by the
organization for business purposes
Transparency
Retention
#3 – File Plan / Retention Schedule
Compliance
Disposition
Consider
• Legal help for Development and Compliance
Retention Schedules in SharePoint
The above term is misleading
• CreateContentType PolicyTemplates
• Retention Stages
• AdvancedAuditing (Edit/CheckOut/Check In/Move/Copy/Delete/Restore)
• Create Lifecycles on Library/Folder
• Retention Stages Only
Alternatives
• No Event Based Retention (without custom code)
• No Case Files
• Bloated taxonomy
What are the issues with the SharePoint way?
Retention Schedule in RecordLion
#4 - Content Onboarding / Meta Data Governance
3 Options
1. Upload & Edit (out of the box)
2. Office Backstage / Document Panel
3. RecordLion
Integrity
Availability
Retention
It’s easy to upload content into SharePoint, but
tagging with the right Meta Data is the difficult part
Content Onboarding – Upload & Edit
• Stay checked out if required columns
• Edit Properties for Meta Data
Drag and Drop (Browser)
• Edit form allows entering Meta Data
Upload to Library
• No way to add Meta Data
OneDrive for Business/SharePoint Sync
Content Onboarding – Microsoft Office Apps
Document Panel Backstage
Content Onboarding with RecordLion
Meta Data Governance
• Database Lookups
• Cascading Lookups
• AdvancedValidations
• Server Side Processing
Classification in SharePoint
 Location Based: Sites/Libraries/Folders
 ContentTypes
 Managed Meta Data
#5 - Classification
Integrity
Availability
Retention
Without classification, content in SharePoint is too
dependent on relevancy searches
Challenge:
Getting users to put things in the right place
#5 - Classification
Integrity
Availability
Retention
• Search is too dependent on relevancy and not refiners
• Retention rules can’t be applied
Without Classification
• Use Managed Meta Data (NOT SUPPORTED BY SP
LIFECYCLES)
SharePoint
• Allows freedom in taxonomy development
• Use any SharePoint elements
RecordLion
Classification with RecordLion
How does RecordLion do this?
1) Move Records to SharePoint
 Best to store similar records in the same location if possible
2) Apply Uniform Policies in Exchange
 Big Buckets (Mailboxes/Folders)
http://blog.recordlion.com/email-retention-exchange-sharepoint-online/
#6 - Email Management
Integrity
Availability
Retention
RecordLion Email Add-In
Outlook forWindows, for Mac and OWA
#7 - Unstructured Content Search
Availability
Transparency• Office 365 (On Premise 2016)
• SharePoint/OneDrive/Exchange
• Advanced Customizations
• Web Parts / DisplayTemplates
• SharePoint Customizations and
Configuration
Lifetime cost of a managed data - $17,000/TB
Legal professional (eDiscovery) review - $18,750/GB
Can you really afford not to dispose of information?
#8 - Disposition
Protection
Disposition
The action taken when a record reaches the end of its
retention period
Information Value Declines Over Time
Business Need Regulator Need (TAX) No Need
Information
Value
Office Documents
Product Research
Sales/Customer
HR
Financials
Messaging/Social
IT Cost
Risk
Risk-to-
Value Gap
Cost-to-
Value Gap
Disposition and SharePoint
Move to Recycle Bin Not Recommended for Official Records
Permanently Delete Delete and skip recycle bin
Transfer to Another Location Good if deleting in another stage
Start aWorkflow Could build custom approval processes
Possible DispositionActions
Disposition Issues
Forensic Destruction Consider RBS Solution
Disposition RequiresApproval Consider RecordLion
No Proof Consider RecordLion
Disposition and RecordLion
Dispose and Delete Delete from SharePoint, skip recycle bin
Dispose and Recycle Delete from SharePoint, use recycle bin
Dispose andTransfer Delete from SharePoint, move data external
Permanent Lock and keep in current location
DispositionActions
• Approval process using Inbox
• Audit Entry is added during destruction
• Content is deleted
• Content is moved to another location (ifTransfer option is used)
• Most audit entries are destroyed, destruction records is left behind
Defensible Disposition
#9 - Audit, Reporting, and BI
Accountability
Transparency
Integrity
Compliance
An Information Governance implementation is only
as good as what you can prove in court and in the
board room
• You're keeping information according to policies
• You're destroying expired information
• Users are only seeing what they should
• That information is authentic and reliable
• Policies are up to date and published
Most important reports show:
SharePoint Reporting
• You will need a way to format and present
SharePoint reports are just Excel Files
• Must be turned on
• Beware of performance implications
• ItemView/Modify/Delete
• Structure Modifications
ContentActivity Reports
• Policy Modifications
• Expiration and Disposition
Information Management Policy Reports
• Auditing Settings
• Security Settings
Security and Site Settings Reports
RecordLion Reporting
#10 - Legal Holds and eDiscovery
Retention
Disposition
ComplianceIt’s not a matter of if you have to produce
information, it’s a matter of when… be prepared
• Know where your information is
• Create a File Plan
• Disposing of ROT data
• Destroy data that is has no value
• Copying and/or Locking records when expecting
litigation
• User eDiscovery Center, RecordLion or both
How to prepare:
SharePoint eDiscovery Center
RecordLion Legal Holds
Rules capture current and future items Manually add content to Legal Case
RecordLion Demonstration
10 Things You’ll Need to Succeed with
Information Governance and SharePoint
1) Access Control
2)Taxonomy Plan
3) Retention Schedule
4) Content Onboarding / Meta Data Governance
5) Classification
6) Email Management
7) Unstructured Content Search
8) Disposition
9) Audit, Reporting, and BI
10) Legal Holds and eDiscovery

10 Things You'll Need to Succeed with Information Governance and SharePoint

  • 1. 10 Things You’ll Need to Succeed with Information Governance and SharePoint Chris Caplinger | RecordLion
  • 2. Chris Caplinger | President RecordLion President SharePoint Experience – 12 years Co Author – SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Content Management Previous CTO & Co-Founder of KnowledgeLake Twitter: @chrislcap
  • 3. Who does RecordLion Serve? Records Managers who need to follow a formal declaration and disposition process IG professionals who need one set of policies to apply enterprise wide Organizations in need of better records management than SharePoint offers out of the box IT departments with too much unorganized and unstructured data on their network file shares
  • 4. Information Governance Maturity Model • Sets standard of conduct and how to judge your organizations IG maturity • Independent of Laws and Regulations • Based on ARMA Generally Accepted Record Keeping Principles • http://www.arma.org/docs/bookstore/theprinciplesmaturitymodel.pdf
  • 5. The Principles • Senior Executive oversightAccountability • Documented program and available to everyoneTransparency •Reasonable assurance that data is authentic and reliableIntegrity •Records protected according to sensitivity and privacyProtection •Comply with laws, regulations and organization policiesCompliance •Timely and efficient retrievalAvailability •Keep records according to legal, regulatory, fiscal, operational and historical requirementsRetention •Dispose of data that has expired according to retentionDisposition
  • 6. 10ThingsYou’ll Need… to apply the model in SharePoint
  • 7. #1 - Access Control Protection Integrity Compliance Web Application • Scope for AnonymousAccess Site Collection • Highest Permission Level SharePoint / SharePoint Online • Each can have separate administrator • Give users broad level access at this level Site • By default sites take on site collection permissions • Beware of letting site owners control permissions • Micro management leads to data breaches Library / List • By default libraries take on site permissions Item • 5,000 limit default and recommended by Microsoft • 50,000 maximum per list (hard limit) • Performance implications as you go past the 5K recommendation Meta Data • Using Meta Data to control security requires customizations • Securing Meta Data columns also requires customizations Roadmap
  • 8. #2 - Taxonomy Plan Protection Availability Too many SharePoint Implementations fail due to poor or no taxonomy! • In short, a systematic way to organize content What is aTaxonomy? • Site Collections • Sites • Libraries • Folders • ContentTypes • Terms (Managed Meta Data) SharePoint taxonomy entities
  • 9. Taxonomy Types Location Based • Sites/Libraries/Folders • Folders can drive Meta Data • Simplifies Security • Users Browse for Items • Discourages Search Content Type Based • Put Content Anywhere • Encourages Search • Complicates Security • Complicates Admin • Beware of ContentType Creep ContentType + Meta Data Based • Put Content Anywhere • Terms =Types of Information • Encourages Search • Simplifies Taxonomy Creation Consider New ContentTypes for: Search/Meta Data/Retention/Workflow DON’T Create just because of document types
  • 11. What is a Retention Schedule (or File Plan)? A set of instructions allocated to a class or file to determine the length of time for which its records should be retained by the organization for business purposes Transparency Retention #3 – File Plan / Retention Schedule Compliance Disposition Consider • Legal help for Development and Compliance
  • 12. Retention Schedules in SharePoint The above term is misleading • CreateContentType PolicyTemplates • Retention Stages • AdvancedAuditing (Edit/CheckOut/Check In/Move/Copy/Delete/Restore) • Create Lifecycles on Library/Folder • Retention Stages Only Alternatives • No Event Based Retention (without custom code) • No Case Files • Bloated taxonomy What are the issues with the SharePoint way?
  • 13. Retention Schedule in RecordLion
  • 14. #4 - Content Onboarding / Meta Data Governance 3 Options 1. Upload & Edit (out of the box) 2. Office Backstage / Document Panel 3. RecordLion Integrity Availability Retention It’s easy to upload content into SharePoint, but tagging with the right Meta Data is the difficult part
  • 15. Content Onboarding – Upload & Edit • Stay checked out if required columns • Edit Properties for Meta Data Drag and Drop (Browser) • Edit form allows entering Meta Data Upload to Library • No way to add Meta Data OneDrive for Business/SharePoint Sync
  • 16. Content Onboarding – Microsoft Office Apps Document Panel Backstage
  • 17. Content Onboarding with RecordLion Meta Data Governance • Database Lookups • Cascading Lookups • AdvancedValidations • Server Side Processing
  • 18. Classification in SharePoint  Location Based: Sites/Libraries/Folders  ContentTypes  Managed Meta Data #5 - Classification Integrity Availability Retention Without classification, content in SharePoint is too dependent on relevancy searches Challenge: Getting users to put things in the right place
  • 19. #5 - Classification Integrity Availability Retention • Search is too dependent on relevancy and not refiners • Retention rules can’t be applied Without Classification • Use Managed Meta Data (NOT SUPPORTED BY SP LIFECYCLES) SharePoint • Allows freedom in taxonomy development • Use any SharePoint elements RecordLion
  • 21. How does RecordLion do this? 1) Move Records to SharePoint  Best to store similar records in the same location if possible 2) Apply Uniform Policies in Exchange  Big Buckets (Mailboxes/Folders) http://blog.recordlion.com/email-retention-exchange-sharepoint-online/ #6 - Email Management Integrity Availability Retention
  • 22. RecordLion Email Add-In Outlook forWindows, for Mac and OWA
  • 23. #7 - Unstructured Content Search Availability Transparency• Office 365 (On Premise 2016) • SharePoint/OneDrive/Exchange • Advanced Customizations • Web Parts / DisplayTemplates • SharePoint Customizations and Configuration
  • 24. Lifetime cost of a managed data - $17,000/TB Legal professional (eDiscovery) review - $18,750/GB Can you really afford not to dispose of information? #8 - Disposition Protection Disposition The action taken when a record reaches the end of its retention period
  • 25. Information Value Declines Over Time Business Need Regulator Need (TAX) No Need Information Value Office Documents Product Research Sales/Customer HR Financials Messaging/Social IT Cost Risk Risk-to- Value Gap Cost-to- Value Gap
  • 26. Disposition and SharePoint Move to Recycle Bin Not Recommended for Official Records Permanently Delete Delete and skip recycle bin Transfer to Another Location Good if deleting in another stage Start aWorkflow Could build custom approval processes Possible DispositionActions Disposition Issues Forensic Destruction Consider RBS Solution Disposition RequiresApproval Consider RecordLion No Proof Consider RecordLion
  • 27. Disposition and RecordLion Dispose and Delete Delete from SharePoint, skip recycle bin Dispose and Recycle Delete from SharePoint, use recycle bin Dispose andTransfer Delete from SharePoint, move data external Permanent Lock and keep in current location DispositionActions • Approval process using Inbox • Audit Entry is added during destruction • Content is deleted • Content is moved to another location (ifTransfer option is used) • Most audit entries are destroyed, destruction records is left behind Defensible Disposition
  • 28. #9 - Audit, Reporting, and BI Accountability Transparency Integrity Compliance An Information Governance implementation is only as good as what you can prove in court and in the board room • You're keeping information according to policies • You're destroying expired information • Users are only seeing what they should • That information is authentic and reliable • Policies are up to date and published Most important reports show:

Editor's Notes

  1. While the value of information declines over time, the cost to manage it remains basically constant, so there is a widening gap as costs exceed value over time. Also, e-discovery risk increases as information ages and context is lost, so there is an even larger gap as value declines and risk increases. Equally important, if business people are drowning in their own data, they have a very difficult time actually getting value from information older than six months to a year!
