History of Information

3

As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information. Benjamin Disraeli We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information. Benjamin Franklin …knowledge has become the central, key resource that knows no geography. Peter Drucker Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other. Bill Gates

So, What’s the Problem?

Top Management Challenges Facing the Department of Transportation – OIG Report, March 2012

“To prevent unauthorized access to PII, OMB requires agencies

to reduce the volume of and restrict access to information

collected and maintained, as well as implement other security

controls, such as encryption.

….

However, until these measures are implemented, the

Department’s systems remain vulnerable to exploitation. For

example, our ongoing audit of the United States Merchant

Marine Academy’s (USMMA) network identified and exploited a

critical vulnerability providing full access to the network,

including databases containing sensitive midshipmen

information. “

In 2005, BMH dedicated over $28 million to capital

investment, more than 7 percent of total budgeted

expenses, in information technology, equipment, and

facilities.

In addition, the system allows physicians to provide

patient care from off-site locations by accessing patient

information through a secure Internet connection.

Best Legally Compliant Programs

18

Best Legally Compliant Programs

• View Information as a key organization asset

• Understand the “Information Life Cycle”

• Not just “Manage” information, but “Govern” it.

• Find an approach that supports compliance with relevant laws, regulations, contractual agreements and policies

19

Best Legally Compliant Programs

Will have:

• A unified approach to addressing data breaches

• Best practices, policies and procedures in place

• Effective technical measures in place

• A thorough understanding of various regulations

• A good grasp on data breach trends and statistics

• A good notification plan in place

20

21

So how can we become a compliant organization?

Information a Key Asset

• Information Inventory

• Information Classification

• Information Valuation

• Information Stewards/Stakeholders

• Information Goals

22

Information Life Cycle Approach

• Plan/Design/Build/Acquire

• Use/Operate

• Monitor

• Disposal

23

Information Management Activities

• Information Management Plan

• Information Architecture

• Information Security

• Information Risk Profiles

• Information Risk Management

• Information Management Policies and Practices

• Information Audits

24

Information Governance vs Management

• Governance ensures that enterprise objectives are achieved by evaluating stakeholder needs, conditions and options; setting direction through prioritisation and decision making; and monitoring performance, compliance and progress against agreed-on direction and objectives (EDM).

• Management plans, builds, runs and monitors activities in alignment with the direction set by the governance body to achieve the enterprise objectives (PBRM).
