Modernize Your Organization's Information Governance and Records and Information Management Program

POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Balance Risk, Cost, and Data Growth

We help organizations negotiate and draft the appropriate information management policies to meet their business and regulatory needs. This allows companies to reduce risk, decrease storage footprint and cost, and eliminate the burden from the employees as much as practicable.

Kahn builds solutions to meet unique organizational needs because one size does not fit all. Each organization has different business needs, regulatory landscape, technology in use, and budgetary constraints. Over the last two decades, Kahn has worked across most industries advising small to Fortune 100 companies that have global footprints.

For most organizations, reasonableness is the answer. The Kahn team can help your organization get your information under management.

SIMPLIFIED RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULES

Simple Rules that Employees Can Follow and Can be Automated

With years of experience, the Kahn team has refined and simplified records retention rules. It is a reality that not one type of records retention schedule will fit all organizations. The organization's regulatory landscape, reliance on cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and IoT, its desire to defensibly dispose of records and non-records (i.e., cruds), its litigation profile, its data growth, and the allocated budget all play a factor in the type of records retention schedule that your organization should deploy.

We can provide record retention schedules that range from "off-the-shelf" to highly customized schedules and big bucket rules to detailed record-level schedules. We can enhance a traditional record retention schedule to include the location of stored (i.e., shared drive, applications, etc.), classification of the record (security, privacy, IP, etc.), media type, where information is stored in the cloud, among other things.

MICROSOFT 365 (A.K.A., OFFICE 365 OR O365) AND GOOGLE WORKSPACE

Microsoft 365: TEAMS, Chats, Recordings,

SharePoint, Exchange, Yammer

Google Workspace: Mail, Drive, Voice, Vault, Jamboard, Meet, Keep

As many companies are utilizing O365 and Google Workspace, they are challenged and limited in the proper retention of information based on the functionality offered by these increasingly popular tools. Kahn has been working with companies across most industries for many years to address retention and other policy issues in Office 365 or Google Workspace.

Information governance is like a reliable compass that guides organizations through the complex and changing terrain of technology, compliance, and risk management. Without a compass, you can easily get lost and face serious consequences. That’s why you need to implement information governance policies and practices that align with your business goals and values and comply with legal and compliance requirements.
