Information governance is the development of a decision and accountability framework that defines acceptable behavior in the creation, valuation, use, sharing, storage, archiving, and deletion of information. It encompasses the policies, standards, processes, metrics, and roles guiding an organization’s efficient and effective use of information to realize its objectives.
For this reason, the practice of Records Management has evolved to include all aspects of Information Governance – from security to productivity, from content creation and collaboration to retention and disposition.
