Leading up to the new year members discussed security materials, information governance policies and more. This week’s ILTACON TV highlight focuses on the thought leaders Jeff Brandt and William Caraher. Explore curated sources on these topics including some from ILTA’s treasure chest.
Information Governance – Developing Policies and Best Practices
Members recently discussed developing policies for information governance. These policies spill into areas of security, disposition, intranets, extranets and well, everything. To take a deeper dive into the different segments of an IG policy consider some ILTA gems. In an ILTA white paper article, “How Information Governance Initiatives Create Sustainable Cost Containment,” John Zahradnick writes of the need to “limit the growth of inventory” both onsite and in offsite storage to contain costs through strong IG policies. Sonia Cheng discussed data challenges and recommended skills to address those challenges in “Skills You Need to Climb the Mountain of Data Challenges.” You will need security to align with your information governance policy. ILTACON 2016 covered this topic in “Security and Information Governance: Together in Perfect Harmony” and for a UK perspective listen to “Risk Management: Security and Information Governance in Perfect Harmony” from INSIGHT 2016. A strong and supported information governance policy can help an organization stay secure, develop a culture of sharing and provide opportunities to collaborate with clients. Heed Dan Hunsinger’s advice in “They Are Going to Share Files With or Without You.”
Security Resources from Your Peers
As you wrapped up 2016, your peers shared many security resources on the LegalSEC Library you will find helpful. These include
When he shared this content, Jon Washburn also encouraged you to contribute. He said, “It is still a small collection at the moment, although we do hope it has been useful, and that’s where the rest of the ILTA community comes in – we need you to share your materials too. If you have an example of something that worked for your firm send it directly to Susan McClellan at smcclellan@iltanet.org... (we) will go through what you send and “genericize” it so you don’t have to. We want to create a collection that can easily be tweaked and used by any firm and post new items on a quarterly basis.”
