Information Governance (IG) is an evolving discipline that includes several key areas of expertise: law, records management, information technology, risk management, privacy and security, and business operations. IG provides the framework to make good decisions about what information to keep, how long to keep it, and who should have access to that information.

Chorus Consulting utilizes a patented “data discovery utility” to create a master index of our client’s unstructured information stored on servers, desktops, laptops, or cloud applications. This process identifies duplicate and near duplicate documents throughout the enterprise, as well as the document creation date and last edit date. The master index can “cluster” documents by keywords to identify documents with similar content, e.g., contracts. We work with the each department’s subject matter experts to eliminate unnecessary information and to classify important documents that should be maintained in a secure repository.
