The document discusses how records managers, IT, and legal experts must work together to address challenges around unstructured data growth. It notes that unstructured data such as documents and emails are growing 62% annually and will account for 93% of data by 2022. Effectively governing this data requires the three groups to collaborate on policies and processes. The document outlines how each group approaches data governance differently based on their roles, and argues they must understand each other better to create solutions that reduce risks and promote compliance.
Information Governance, Managing Data To Lower Risk and Costs, and E-Discover...David Kearney
Information governance, records and information management, and data disposition policies are ways to help lower costs and mitigate risks for organizations. Policies and procedures to actively manage data are not just an IT "problem," they're a collaborative business initiative that is a must in today's "big data" environment. With electronic discovery rules, government regulations and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, all organizations must proactively take steps to manage their data with well-governed processes and controls, or be willing to face the risks and costs that come along with keeping everything. Organizations must know what information they have, where it is located, the duration data must be retained and what information would be needed when responding to an event.
There have been numerous instances of severe legal penalties for organizations that did not have an electronic data strategy, tools, processes and controls to locate and understand their own data. In addition, the risks of unmanaged data include skyrocketing infrastructure and personnel costs and an increase in attorney time to manage massive amounts of data when a litigation event occurs.
Information governance is needed much like any business continuity and disaster recovery plans, but with an understanding of data: where data are located, how data are managed, event response, and regular testing of processes and procedures for preparedness.

Large-scale socio-technical systems (STS) inextricably inter-connect individual – e.g., the right to privacy –, social – e.g., the effectiveness of organisational processes –, and technology issues —e.g., the software engineering process. As a result, the design of the complex software infrastructure involves also non-technological aspects such as the legal ones—so that, e.g., law-abidingness can be ensured since the early stages of the software engineering process. By focussing on contact centres (CC) as relevant examples of knowledge-intensive STS, we elaborate on the articulate aspects of anonymisation: there, individual and organisational needs clash, so that only an accurate balancing between legal and technical aspects could possibly ensure the system efficiency while preserving the individual right to privacy. We discuss first the overall legal framework, then the general theme of anonymisation in CC. Finally we overview the technical process developed in the context of the BISON project.

Organizations looking to benefit from the scalability, agility, and capital cost savings of cloud computing inevitably
encounter the issues of data privacy and security. In the corporate data center, data security and privacy are mostly
about protection from hackers and insiders. In the cloud, however—public, community, hybrid, and sometimes even
private-- they are also affected by where data resides and the impact of local, regional, and national regulations on
the privacy of that data--an issue known as data sovereignty.

This is the era of data revolution. Data is being traded as a commodity and has even been dubbed "the new oil". Almost 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created daily, and that number is only going up. With this rapid proliferation of data, instances of data misuse are rising. Instant information sharing has both saved and endangered lives. These polar opposite outcomes have sparked debate on data management and governance, with many seeing regulation as a threat to business.
For example, Facebook's recent data breach, if found to violate the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), could cost them 4% of their global revenue (or $1.63 billion) in fines. This resonated as a warning shot to enterprises across the globe. As concerns grow, it will serve enterprises well to remember how valuable consumer trust is to them. That is precisely why the threat of punitive action could, in fact, be enterprises' biggest ally in this data revolution.

For today’s digital businesses, being prepared to meet new compliance requirements when storing and managing consumer data will not only minimize risk, but also enable more valued and trusted customer experiences that drive increased loyalty, engagement and revenue. To gain better perspective on this important issue, it’s important to understand:
- The trends driving governmental regulatory shifts and the basic tenets of these new laws
- The challenges faced by executives across the enterprise when managing privacy compliance for consumer data
- The emergence of cloud-based solutions that help businesses manage privacy compliance by acting as end-to-end customer data storage and management solutions that are far more scalable and flexible than legacy systems

PRIVACY AND CYBERSECURITY
For some time now, the discussion regarding the convergence between data privacy and cybersecurity has been raging on (Burn, 2018). There has been new laws being put in place in a bid to regulate the manner in which people’s private data is collected, used, disclosed and disposed (Bhatia et al, 2016). On the hand, cyber-attacks have spirited exponentially as well as numerous cases of data breaches and unauthorized access and use of personal data. There is need for persons and organizations to understand their rights and obligations regarding such critical personal data as health, financial as well as other information that can be identified as critical. This is one area that is now more than ever very critical for business and almost every other sector in our dynamic world. That said, it is only important to delve into this matter, by means of reviewing the new data privacy laws and regulations, and cybersecurity and personal data protection best practices.
In simple sense, with the experienced rise of large amounts of data and machine learning, the issues of privacy and cybersecurity are converging. What was some time ago an abstract concept that was aimed at ensuring that the expectations of our data were protected has now become concrete and critical matter, to match the level of the threats posed by cybercriminals whose would really like to access our data without our authorization. Looking at it more specifically, the biggest threat to our digital selves is that threat of unauthorized access of our personal information. In days gone by, privacy and security were perhaps largely separate functions that seemed to move almost in a parallel manner. Security took the front seat, thanks to the more tangible concerns about it as privacy took a backseat. Nowadays, their lines have met thanks to extensive machine learning techniques that we have in place. Once data is generated, any person who comes into possession of that poses new dangers to not only our privacy but also security.
With all this in mind, it is perhaps too obvious that the world has reacted in a bid to control this problem. In that accord, new data regulations have been put in place to try as much as possible to mitigate the threats posed by data breaches and unauthorized access of personal data. Examples of the recent data protection laws and regulations put in place are the Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that were enforced in May 2018 (Burn, 2018). The regulation brought with it far-reaching alterations in policies regarding privacy and data security in the European Union and ultimately in the whole world. This is because companies handling data of individuals residing within the EU have to align with the regulation on how that data is managed and/or shared. Some of the far reaching provisions that companies mus.

Information
Governance and Legal
Functions
C H A P T E R 8
Perhaps the key functional area that information governance (IG) impacts most islegal functions, since legal requirements are paramount. Failure to meet them can literally put an organization out of business or land executives in prison. Privacy,
security, records management, information technology (IT), and business manage-
ment functions are important—very important—but the most signifi cant aspect of all
of these functions relates to legality and regulatory compliance.
Key legal processes include electronic discovery (e-discovery) readiness and as-
sociated business processes, information and record retention policies, the legal hold
notifi cation (LHN) process, and legally defensible disposition practices.
Some newer technologies have become viable to assist organizations in imple-
menting their IG efforts, namely, predictive coding and g technology-assisted review
(TAR; also known as computer-assisted review ). In this chapter we explore the need ww
for leveraging IT in IG efforts aimed at defensible disposition, the intersection be-
tween IG processes and legal functions, policy implications, and some key enabling
technologies.
Introduction to e-Discovery: The Revised 2006 Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure Changed Everything
Since 1938, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) “have governed the
discovery of evidence in lawsuits and other civil cases.” 1 In law, discovery is an early y
phase of civil litigation where plaintiffs and defendants investigate and exchange
evidence and testimony to better understand the facts of a case and to make early
determinations of the strength of arguments on either side. Each side must produce
evidence requested by the opposition or show the court why it is unreasonable to pro-
duce the information.
The FRCP apply to U.S. district courts, which are the trial courts of the fed-
eral court system. The district courts have jurisdiction (within limits set by Congress
and the Constitution) to hear nearly all categories of federal cases, including civil and
criminal matters. 2
116 INFORMATION GOVERNANCE
The FRCP were amended in 2006, and some of the revisions apply specifi cally to
the preservation and discovery of electronic records in the litigation process. 3 These
changes were a long time coming, refl ecting the lag between the state of technology
and the courts’ ability to catch up to the realities of electronically generated and stored
information.
After years of applying traditional paper-based discovery rules to e-discovery,
amendments to the FRCP were made to accommodate the modern practice of discov-
ery of electronically stored information (ESI). ESI is any information that is created
or stored in electronic f.
As businesses generate and manage vast amounts of data, companies have more opportunities to gather data, incorporate insights into business strategy and continuously expand access to data across the organisation. Doing so effectively—leveraging data for strategic objectives—is often easier said
than done, however. This report, Transforming data into action: the business outlook for data governance, explores the business contributions of data governance at organisations globally and across industries, the challenges faced in creating useful data governance policies and the opportunities to improve such programmes.
over the past ten years, data has grown on the Internet, and we are the fuel and haste of this increase. Business owners, they produce apps for us, and we feed these companies with our data, unfortunately, it is all our private data. In the end, we become, through our private data, a commodity that is sold to the highest bidder.
Without security, not even privacy. Ethical oversight and constraints are needed to ensure that an appropriate balance. This article will cover: the contents of big data, what it includes, how data is collected, and the process of involving it on the Internet. In addition, it discuss the analysis of data, methods of collecting it, and factors of ethical challenges. Furthermore, the user's rights, which must be observed, and the privacy the user has.
The top trends changing the landscape of Information ManagementVelrada
The role of information and data in the private sector, and how employees and users interact with that information, is changing rapidly.
With endless buzzwords and hot topics, and a ream of new technologies and upgrades, it can be difficult for organisations to know where to begin or how it translates into actionable insight.
Data Privacy and Protection in the Digital Age - pdf.pdfKarpagam Institute
Data privacy and protection have become increasingly crucial in the digital age. With the vast amount of personal information being collected, stored, and shared online, individuals and organizations alike face significant risks related to privacy breaches and data misuse. It is imperative for both users and service providers to prioritize safeguarding sensitive information through robust security measures, encryption techniques, and adherence to privacy regulations such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). Additionally, raising awareness about digital privacy rights and promoting responsible data handling practices are essential steps towards ensuring the privacy and protection of individuals' data in today's interconnected digital landscape.

Governing the Chaos
1. The Convergence of
IT, Legal and Records Managers to
Address Unstructured Data
GOVERNING THE CHAOS
2. The challenges associated with managing data have multiplied by previously-
unfathomable degrees in recent years. Prior to the ubiquitous utilization of
computers and mobile devices, physical records were the only form of data most
organizations dedicated any resources toward organizing. With more legislative
attention to data privacy and enacted compliance regulations, such as the Data
Protection Directive (EU, 1995), HIPAA/HITECH (U.S., 1996) and Sarbanes-
Oxley (U.S., 2002), there were stringent standards organizations must meet or
be subject to fines and other penalties.
A common view of data asserts
that physical and digital assets are
two very distinct entities, but in
terms of compliance and business
continuity, the two formats should
be considered equally valuable.
Why? The laws that govern the
management of physical records
and digital data are the same, so
the real “data distinction” should be
whether it is managed or
unmanaged, irrespective of format.
That said, most unmanaged data
rests on the digital side for two
very clear reasons.
Today, organizations of all
kinds must adhere to
numerous compliance
regulations across industries
and around the world when
managing both physical and
digital data.
3. First, understanding and adhering to privacy and data compliance
regulations is a relatively new job description for IT managers. Secondly,
digital data is expanding at a rate that outpaces the speed at which IT
practitioners are becoming compliance experts… As a result, Information
Governance (IG) practices pertaining to digital data are still largely
undefined and difficult to enforce.
The rate of unstructured data
growth per year:
62%
Perhaps the most perplexing and pressing challenge related to IG is
governing unstructured data, which is not found within an organized
database. Unstructured data typically includes Word documents,
PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, media text files, emails, audio files and
images. According to reports from IDG and Gartner, unstructured data is
growing at a rate of 62 percent per year, and by 2022, 93 percent of digital
data will be unstructured.
4. Information Governance policies are still trying to catch up with unstructured
data in many companies, and creating effective policies requires the three
groups responsible for IG strategy—records managers, IT and legal—to come
to the same table and create rules and processes that reduce, classify and
organize it in a manner that easily integrates into the workflow of business
users. Accomplishing this goal will promote easier buy-in and create an
organizational culture with IG adherence in its DNA.
Further complicating the issue is that this data is often created and saved over a
multitude of repositories like ECM systems, shared drives, desktops, cloud
environments, etc.

5. Understanding the Policy Makers
Records managers, IT and legal perform very different functions and approach
data management with distinct priorities, based on how that data impacts their
department. For Information Governance cooperation between the three to
succeed, it is important to better understand each other’s point of view.
Records Managers Partly due to the changes in the nature of records
themselves, the traditional role of a records manager
(RM) has changed dramatically in recent years. No
longer are RMs admins who reside solely over paper
documents. Instead, they are well-versed in the
intersection of physical and digital data, and their
expertise is vital in creating IG initiatives because the
same rules and regulations apply to both. IT
professionals don’t often have a “rules and regulations”
background, so records managers can offer critical
insight into more effective governance over all data.
6. IT departments are faced with a universal dilemma: space and security.
Given the expanse of data, it’s no surprise that companies are strapped for
storage. Further, unstructured data has limited rules around classification,
Beyond the space requirements, holding on to unnecessary
information poses a greater security risk. All companies are
open to potential security breaches and the possibility of
sensitive information being leaked or stolen. Limiting the
amount of content that can be hacked through proper IG can
minimize the impact if a breach were to occur.
I.T. Practitioners
storage and retention, so IT practitioners would
rather purchase more space than to accidentally
clear out swaths of data that could place the
organization out of compliance. While cloud storage is
relatively inexpensive, the savings are quickly
overcome by the increased amount of data they need
to store. Because IT is concerned with deleting the
wrong data, documents that have outlived their
usefulness remain on the system, serving no other
purpose than taking up valuable space. Additionally,
retaining certain types of data beyond their legal hold
can also place organizations outside of compliance.
7. The ever-expanding and often complicated nature of
compliance regulations and global consumer privacy laws
have required organizations that weren’t concerned about
data management to make it a priority. As a result, the
relationship between legal and RMs—and now IT—has
Legal
become a necessity to avoid fines,
lawsuits and inefficiencies. It is their
responsibility to be aware of current
compliance regulations and keep an eye
out for new laws that could impact
data management. Legal is also
required to track information for
discovery and e-discovery purposes.
Retaining unnecessary information
opens up documents to more legal holds
and contributes to the problem of
needing more space to store the
information should it become necessary
for a trial.
8. Bringing Information Experts Together
Records managers, IT and legal perform The old theory was that once a record
was created, it could never be changed; today, the only constant around data is
change. In the digital world, documents can be resaved and transported easily and
quickly. New regulations are continuously emerging and existing ones are
frequently amended, making compliance increasingly challenging. With so many
moving parts, information experts must work together and speak the same
language to achieve the common goal of successful Information Governance.
different functions and approach data management with distinct priorities, based on
how that data impacts their department. For Information Governance cooperation
between the three to succeed, it is important to better understand each other’s
point of view.
Records managers, IT and legal all have a
stake in the outcome of better governing
information for an organization. Each is
experienced in managing data and
information, but approaches it from a
different point of view. The collaboration of
these three groups is the best way to solve
the unstructured data challenge.

moving parts,

9. What Each Role Brings to the Table
Records managers are expertly aware of the damaging impact
mismanaged data can have on the business. Because records
managers understand the importance of security and
infrastructure that IT practitioners value and are fluent in legal
issues, such as compliance and discovery, they are the most
qualified to bring IT and legal into the IG discussion.
When collaborating on IG strategies, IT can offer critical insight
into storage capacity, how to best protect data and the impact
unstructured data can have on security and infrastructure cost.
Perhaps the most important bit of information IT can assist with is
determining which departments are creating the most
unstructured data and help determine ways to proactively reduce
that amount.
In creating new IG initiatives, the legal department is best suited
to impact rules and processes by offering guidance based on
what may or may not put an organization outside of compliance.
Additionally, their expertise is crucial in determining which IG
strategies require an update. As mentioned, laws change and
new laws are introduced, and being ahead of new regulations that
impact how data is managed is key to avoiding non-compliance.
10. Understanding Unstructured Data’s
Impact on Information Governance
The goal of Information Governance is to prevent
organizational assets from becoming a risk through lack of
compliance, resulting in legal fees and other burdens.
According to Gartner, IG is “the specification of decision rights
and an accountability framework to encourage desirable
behavior in the valuation, creation, storage, use, archival and
deletion of information. It includes the processes, roles,
standards and metrics that ensure the effective and efficient
use of information in enabling an organization to achieve its
goals.”
In short, Information Governance is the process for better
managing information – in both physical and digital forms –
through its entire lifecycle, which is no easy task, when
examining how quickly information expands today. Consider
this: as much information is created every two days than was
created from the dawn of civilization through 2003, according
to Google’s Eric Schmidt. Add to the mix that so much of this
data is unstructured that isn’t properly classified or secured,
and you have a ticking time bomb of risk inside your database.

11. Impact of Unstructured Data
With most businesses’ data doubling almost every two years, and
much of it being created in a multitude of repositories, it is exponentially
more difficult for organizations to properly govern information. About 90
percent of information created and used by an organization is
unstructured data, according to IDC. The vast amount of unstructured
data makes it even more challenging to keep up with compliance
regulations. The nature of unstructured data makes it is difficult to
structure and categorize the information to logically apply rules.
As the recent Sony data breach illustrated, organizations are often
unaware of where sensitive data resides, and are putting themselves at
risk by having no effective structure to find them. Unstructured data is
also expensive. In 2011, the Ponemon Institute identified “an average
cost of $2.1 million per year to organizations who fail to properly
manage their corporate intellectual capital.”
Typically, business users are asked to categorize unstructured data
themselves. This exercise results in varied accuracy and prompts the
need for a smarter, better way to start the structuring process. Because
the same rules apply to both digital and physical records, there is an
opportunity for different groups – each experienced in information
management – to combine approaches to implement governance.
12. IG Initiatives with the Business User
in Mind
Business users and C-Level both desire efficiency and productivity, so it is critical
that IG implementations impacting unstructured data do not make everyday
tasks more cumbersome or they run the risk of being ignored. Very often,
employees will find a work-around that allows them to do what they need to do in
a way that does not disrupt workflow. Initiatives also need to incorporate input
from those who will be responsible for the early stages of data management.

document, it is critical to embed data regarding its purpose, location and
lifecycle. Systems that allow business users to input that information in an easy,
intuitive manner—through simple drop-downs, for example—will ensure that
other stakeholders have the necessary information to determine where data is
and when it needs to be removed.
Make the Process Simple and Intuitive
The goal is to increase the probability of IG success, and creating
applications that are simple and quick to implement is key. Upfront
metadata encoding is a perfect example of how organizations can
manage data without compromising efficiency. When creating a new

Offer Email Alternatives
Emails represent the most challenging form of unstructured data,
as they often contain critical information that is back and forth and
take up sizable storage space. Instant message tools, for
example, can give business users an even quicker way to getting
information they need, while drastically reducing internal emails.
File, synch and share systems, with enterprise grade security,
allow business users to securely collaborate without sending large
files via email.
Better Communicate Data Policies
Very often, business users may inadvertently contribute to the
mismanagement of data for fear of making a mistake. For
example, legal matters require organizations to put a hold on
deleting emails or other files that contain information relating to a
current or pending case. Because of the consequences business
users face for accidentally deleting a piece of discovery, they are
more likely to stop deleting emails altogether. Further, the end of
legal holds are often not communicated to employees who
continue to retain almost all emails. With better communication
and defined parameters about legal holds, the amount of saved
emails can be reduced.
14. 4
Request and Incorporate Input
One of the best ways to get voluntary buy-in for IG policies from
business users is to gain input from those creating unstructured
data. Get a better understanding of why they create, file,
delete/not delete data. Examine the pros and cons of potential
processes, and create an environment where supporting IG is part
of the corporate DNA. Not all rules can be created with every
need in mind, but if employees don’t feel like they’re a part of the
process or that rules are created without their day-to-day in mind,
IG plans simply will not succeed.
The expanse of unstructured
data continues with no sign of
stopping, and forward-thinking
organizations are pooling the
expertise of records managers,
IT and legal to institute IG
initiatives that are not only
supported by business users,
but are maintained with very little
additional effort.
15. Future of Unstructured Data
In the age of Big Data, the need to wrangle, measure and make sense of
information is critical for businesses to gain a competitive advantage. In
a 2012 Forrester study, 70 percent of respondents said that Big Data is
or will be a collaborative effort between business and IT. Emerging
technologies make it easier for IT departments to quickly and efficiently
manage data in all its forms. Working with records managers and legal
departments, IT can have the information necessary to create processes
that manage information instead of simply storing it.
Information Governance’s role will become more critical as the
expansion of data continues. Likewise, there is no reason to believe that
global and industry-based privacy laws will become less prevalent any
time soon. The costs associated with lax IG practices (fines, legal costs,
loss of business, etc.) will only continue to increase.
16. The task of managing and governing unstructured data will
grow more complicated for organizations of all sizes and
industries. Businesses that bring all three information expert
groups together – records managers, IT and legal
departments – and create an environment that promotes
collaboration between them will have greater success in
creating and implementing effective governance strategies.
