A Straightforward Methodology for Remediation Projects

By Ann Snyder
December 31, 2014

Is your organization creating and accumulating mountains of information? If it is like most, the answer is yes. But in those mountains hides a mixture of content, including: important business records, information subject to legal holds or regulatory requirements, sensitive information (e.g., confidential, private, or trade secret), and outright junk. Remediation is an information governance (IG) process directed at bringing order to information and is a tool that can help you gain control over the undifferentiated mess.

At the Information Governance Initiative's (IGI) last IGI Boot Camp held at Relativity Fest, we explored the topic of remediation and published a short paper, “The Role of Remediation in Information Governance,” which sets out, among other points, an organizing principle, maturity model framework, and methodology for remediation. See , www.iginitiative.com/community. This article highlights some of the key points from that paper.
