EVALUATING
BUSINESS RISK TO MEET A COMPLIANCE DEADLINE

Due to a compliance finding, a global energy company curated a diverse project team to help clean, organize, and label its SharePoint Online (SPOL) environment before a non-records disposal (NRD) deadline.

Preparing for information-centric audits

If an organization can’t demonstrate reliable record keeping, it can face penalties, fines, or – in extreme cases – a shutdown. We recognize that the best way to meet regulatory requirements is to have a well-designed, properly governed information management program in place.

You Asked:

 

I’ve received negative audit findings about the way we manage our information. What do we do next?

The first step after receiving a negative audit finding is to perform root cause analysis. Why did this occur? This analysis can be done internally or through an external third party. In order to create a plan for remediation, it’s important to identify the true causes as well as to review the IM program holistically. Possible causes could be related to people, process, or technology.

You will also want to engage business stakeholders to demonstrate how this audit finding can have impacts on the business in terms of reputation, costs, and most importantly, safe operations. Transparency and accountability are important during this process.

Once a plan for remediation has been set, don’t forget a framework to demonstrate progress to internal and external stakeholders.
