Leadership Compass: Secure Information Sharing - 72014

In approaching the selection of a vendor for the provision of secure information sharing solution it is important to take an information lifecycle approach whereby the processes around data generation, its transformation and classification, as well as data storage and data destruction, are well defined. This requires policy to be established to advise on the proper location of records, the ownership and the value of data, and for retention periods to be determined and documented. The focus needs to be on deriving value for data assets which means ensuring data quality, improving the communication of data and deleting data when it’s no longer required.

Solutions to the management of access to shared data are diverse. Each of the products featured in this Leadership Compass are different and takes a unique approach to the task of secure information sharing.
