Data Governance and Electronic Evidence: Can Litigation Risks Be Turned into Governance Opportunities?
Information technology-dependent organizations of all types face increasing challenges in protecting information and managing their information systems in compliance with the law. At the same time, recently published court rules and new judicial rulings are catching organizations unprepared and vulnerable when they need to use their electronic information as evidence. This is a serious challenge but also presents an opportunity for organizations to leverage electronic evidence management to enhance their data governance. Doing so, however, will require careful thought and expert insights.
In order to address these issues, Co-Directors John R. Christiansen and Barbara Endicott-Popovsky are pleased to announce the program for the 2008 Information Security Compliance and Risk Management Institute. The Institute is an annual interdisciplinary event for information technology and security professionals, attorneys and auditors for advanced learning and improvement of the arts, sciences and laws of electronic information and information technology use and protection. The Institute will be held September 10 - 11 on the University of Washington campus in Seattle. This year's Institute will focus on data governance, and the integration of electronic evidence management policies and procedures into data governance programs.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from and interact with leaders in these fields, and work with them in breakout sessions to develop recommendations for leveraging data protection policies, procedures and solutions to integrate electronic evidence management practices responsive to new federal and state rules.
This program is appropriate for anyone responsible for information technology or security, risk management and legal compliance for any organization which depends on information technology and electronic information.
