14 minute read

This is the second article in our two-part series: “Data and compliance: A guide to being an information herder.” Part 1 of the article, published in the January 2023 issue of CEP, described the dangers of information hoarding, including the legal, compliance, and business issues affecting companies lacking adequate insights about the information assets they possess and how that information is being used, managed, protected, and retained.[1]

This installment provides practical steps and a high-level roadmap to help fix the sprawl of your company’s information footprint so you can transform from a collection of information hoarders to an organization of information herders. We have divided this second installment into two parts:

  1. General advice on developing a business profile assessment (BPA) that will enable you to better manage data and compliance.

  2. Tips to address some of the specific data management issues and concerns highlighted in Part 1.
