• Ensure compliance by properly controlling who sees, uses and accesses your data
• Monitor usage and access and detect threats in real time
• Protect the underlying DB2® and IMS™ data stores
• Ensure separation of controls and flexible audit and reporting
• Archive data intelligently for compliance, performance optimization and lower storage costs

Don’t for get our live events in London & Edinburgh – Data Governance on System z

Philip Howard of Bloor Research has posted an interesting article on IT-Director.com in which he talks about Information Governance and how this should be defined.  He suggests splitting down into 5 categories:

1.  Discovery

2. Trust

3. Security

4. ILM

5. Compliance

6. Stewardship

In a world where the rate at which we collect, store, share and process information increases daily, you would think that businesses would be so well-informed and knowledgeable that they would be able to mitigate risk, leverage information to drive new business opportunities, control costs and become smarter about the way they do business.  Yet the media is filled with an increasing number of reports on scandals and mistakes that organizations make across every industry, whether public or private sector, despite ever increasing amounts of legislation and standards. The impacts range from financial and brand image damage to imprisonment to potentially life-threatening consequences, in the case of healthcare and life sciences industries.
