INTRODUCTION

Information is pervasive across all organisations, technology and processes. Information, technology and data is all around us, both tangible, intangible, active and passive. The need to drive more value from IT investments and manage an increasing array of IT-related commercial risks has never been greater. Increasing regulation is also driving heightened awareness amongst directors and IT management of the importance of a well-controlled IT environment and the need to comply with legal, regulatory and contractual obligations. Effective enterprise governance of IT will result in improved performance, risk reduction and compliance with external requirements.
Information Management Compliance is a complex and detailed area. Personnel involved or which have responsibility for the organisation’s information needs and compliance, will invariably involve all areas of the business. Therefore, IT Management and multidisciplinary teams involved in information management compliance, need a firm understanding of corporate governance and regulatory considerations to fulfil their duties effectively and responsibly. They also need to keep abreast of practical and theoretical developments in the direction of their organisation and that of Information Management. This calls for adequate and specialized training and professional development.
