Description
To remain in compliance with the ever-changing and evolving data privacy and security landscape, organizations must have a solid understanding of what information they create, collect, process, and retain and why, as well as who has access to that data, both internally and externally. Information inventorying is the process of creating an inventory of an organization's data and is usually developed in conjunction with a data retention plan.
Knowing what information an organization has, where it lives, how it is used, and when it should be deleted is not itself mandated but is a required activity to remain compliant under most privacy and recordkeeping regulations and security frameworks. Additionally, good information inventorying and management is a critical element of AI governance. A data management plan is also a useful tool in managing third-party vendor contracts and in the context of litigation.
Listen as our authoritative panel discusses why data inventorying and management is a critical tool for maintaining compliance with privacy, records retention, and cybersecurity laws and provides guidance for advising clients in implementing or maintaining an effective information management strategy.
