Infotrust’s Information and Data Governance Framework services help businesses control the vast amounts of data generated through daily operational activity. They apply a structured, scalable approach to managing this valuable resource. Information and data governance provide the framework for organisations to maximise the value of their information while minimising the inevitable associated risks and costs. This includes the complete data lifecycle from inception, storage, and usage, through to retention decisions based on legal timeframes.
Our frameworks are built on deep knowledge of the ever-evolving regulatory environment. Different regulatory requirements apply to different classes of organisational data, so specific expertise is essential. If you need an information governance framework in Australia, Infotrust delivers data governance framework solutions across Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane – tailored to your organisation’s needs.
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.
