The Information Governance Guideline (Guideline) expands on the behaviours underpinning the Information Management Standard (Standard). It offers guidance on the necessary structure and rigor to manage information assets.
The Guideline helps your agency with the development, implementation and improvement of an Information Management Program (Program) as prescribed in the Standard.
It should be used in conjunction with the Self-Assessment Tool (Tool) through which your agency can assess its information governance maturity and capabilities (current information management practices) against the Standard.
The Guideline should be read alongside the standards for:
- Appraisal
- Contracting and Information Assets
- Disposal
- Managing Digital Records in Systems
- Minimum Recordkeeping Metadata Requirement
- Management and Storage of Temporary Value Information Assets
- Transfer.
Guidance on each component of the Program is provided below.
