Over the past decade, national and global data privacy laws and regulations have significantly reshaped information governance, emphasizing principles like purpose limitation, data minimization, and storage limitation, as seen in laws such as the GDPR. Organizations must navigate these principles while balancing jurisdiction-specific requirements for retaining and disposing of personal data. Additionally, increased regulation has heightened obligations for vendors and business partners to protect and properly dispose of personal and confidential data, with non-compliance posing risks beyond regulatory sanctions, including contractual breaches. Organizations need to adopt an internal information governance framework that addresses risk-based retention and disposition and achieves an optimized balance between controlling information risk and facilitating the extraction of information value.
