Course Outline

Today's networked economy has changed the way organisations operate as they are now faced with the challenges of using electronic information to fulfil their business goals.

Electronic Information Risk Management consists of the use of best practice to collect, organise, use, store, share, provide access to and dispose of electronic information. Every organisation is now required to ensure that the use of electronic information and e-systems comply with legal, regulatory and best practice requirements.

This training course will provide a sound understanding of electronic information risks and how to manage them. It will be a combination of presentations, group tasks, discussions of best practice and practical problem solving sessions. A practical case study will be used to highlight typical areas of e-information risks.

Topics to be covered:

• e-mail Management
• Collection and Storage of E-Information
• Metadata
• Protection of Personal Information
• e-Database Management
• e-Information Incident Handling
• e-Information Access Management
• Retention and Disposal of e-Information
