InfoRiskAwareness Project
The InfoRiskAwareness Project is a campaign to promote a better understanding of the risks associated with electronic information.
With the continued explosion in electronically stored information, businesses today must maintain airtight control over their information – from databases, transactions, and web pages to email, instant messaging and social media content. This information is now being called upon regularly as part of the eDisclosure process, internal investigations and regulatory matters, making it increasingly difficult for businesses to manage their information and ensure no fraudulent or intolerable activities are occurring.
Recent research, conducted to coincide with the launch of the InfoRiskAwareness Project, indicates that while companies are aware of information risk issues, their efforts to address such issues lag far behind. With information continuing to accelerate alongside regulatory compliance concerns, more organisations are thinking of putting a specific information risk strategy in place this year.
The InfoRiskAwareness Project, driven by an alliance of organisations in the information risk industry, is designed to generate awareness of information risk through a series of events and host of online resources, and provide an ongoing community to support UK and European organisations.
