Information Governance Programs

Millican & Associates, Inc. provides a full range of services related to the design and implementation of information governance programs. These programs are a set of multi-disciplinary structures, policies, procedures, processes and controls implemented to manage information on all media in such a way that it supports the organizations immediate and future regulatory, legal, risk, environmental and operational requirements. Typical components of our programs include:

Information Governance Portal

provides a single source across the enterprise for access to information governance program requirements and information.

Compliance Requirements

are a compilation of the rules governing the conduct of business and provide specific requirements regarding information creation, access, segregation, use, and destruction within compliance processes. Requirements may originate from local, state, federal, or international entities or from internal requirements such as intellectual property protection.

Information Map

provides an inventory of the enterprises recorded information. The map provides both volumetric and location information to various strategic needs such e-discovery planning, data mining, system integration, and data migration.

also known as records retention schedules or records disposition schedules, define the requirements for how long recorded information is to be retained by the enterprise.

Information Protection/Access Rules

are a compilation of legal, regulatory, internal and contractual compliance requirements for protection of certain types of recorded information limiting access and dissemination.
