What is an Information Governance Framework?

An information governance and management framework outlines the strategic, organisational, and operational elements needed to manage information effectively and securely. In parallel, a data governance framework ensures that data assets are accurate, accessible, protected, and compliant with regulations. Together, these frameworks form the foundation for effective information management, aligning policies, processes, and technology. 

Organisations may also use the data governance maturity model to assess their current practices, measure progress, and identify areas for improvement. Infotrust’s services help clients progress along this model to achieve optimal governance maturity.
