Corporate information is spread across departments, systems and jurisdictions, creating legal and regulatory risk, unnecessary costs and additional pressure on Legal.
iCompli helps organisations apply consistent governance, reduce information risk and manage information throughout its lifecycle.

In-house legal teams are responsible for helping manage legal and regulatory risk. Yet much of the information creating that risk sits outside Legal's direct control.
Contracts, employee records, business communications and sensitive corporate information are spread across departments and systems, often with different owners and inconsistent controls.
Without a coordinated approach, retention decisions are delayed, information risk increases and Legal is left managing the consequences.
When information is spread across systems and departments, establishing what exists, where it is held and which obligations apply becomes difficult.

Outdated, duplicated and unnecessarily retained information increases the volume of data the organisation must protect, manage and account for.

Inconsistent retention, legal holds and information management practices make it harder to meet obligations and demonstrate that policies have been followed.

Manual reviews, disconnected spreadsheets and unclear responsibilities consume time that legal and business teams could spend on higher-value work.
iCompli helps you understand what you hold, identify what needs action and apply consistent, defensible governance processes across your organisation.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Information governance shouldn't depend on spreadsheets, email chains and repeatedly chasing people for decisions.
iCompli helps turn governance requirements into controlled, repeatable processes that reduce manual effort and improve information management across the business.

govern across systems
Corporate information doesn't live in one place. It is held across document management systems, collaboration platforms, business applications, file shares and physical records repositories.
iCompli helps apply consistent governance processes across supported systems and repositories, improving control without requiring every department to manage information independently.

Manage retention and disposition
As information accumulates, retention decisions can be delayed, overlooked or applied inconsistently.
iCompli helps identify information awaiting review, apply retention requirements and manage authorised disposition, with clear records of decisions and actions.
support legal holds and compliance
Legal holds, investigations and regulatory obligations can require information to be preserved beyond its normal retention period.
iCompli supports controlled retention and disposition processes that account for applicable legal holds and preservation requirements, helping organisations avoid inappropriate disposal.
automate governance workflows
When reviews and approvals depend on individual reminders, governance becomes harder to manage as information volumes increase.
iCompli helps automate routine reviews, approvals and notifications, reducing administration and providing greater visibility of outstanding actions and progress.
Multiple business units. Multiple jurisdictions. One consistent approach.
Managing information across complex corporate environments requires coordination between departments, systems and locations, often with different legal and regulatory obligations.
iCompli helps organisations apply consistent governance processes across supported repositories, manage information lifecycle requirements and maintain oversight across the business.
You don't need a large team to establish better information governance.
As organisations grow, informal processes and individual knowledge can become difficult to sustain.
Establish clear responsibilities, consistent controls and repeatable workflows that support more effective information management without adding unnecessary administration.
iCompli helps growing teams move from manual governance activities towards a more structured and manageable approach.

AI READINESS
AI can improve efficiency and access to information, but it can also expose outdated, unnecessary or sensitive corporate data.
Before expanding AI access, organisations need to understand what information is available, what restrictions apply and whether it is appropriate for use.
Trusted AI starts with governed information.
ORGANISATION WIDE STRATEGIC PRIORITY
Information governance affects legal risk, security, compliance, costs, operational efficiency and AI readiness.
But the information creating these challenges sits across the business.
Effective governance requires leadership support, clear accountability and coordination between Legal, IT, Information Security, Compliance, Privacy and business teams.
These challenges are connected. Your organisation's strategy should be too.

In-house legal teams help their organisations manage legal, regulatory and information-related risks. Without consistent governance, unnecessary retention, fragmented systems and manual processes can increase costs, security exposure and compliance challenges.
Information governance helps establish the controls and processes needed to manage corporate information responsibly throughout its lifecycle.
Information governance can reduce reliance on manual administration by introducing repeatable workflows for retention reviews, approvals, legal holds and disposition.
This helps legal and operational teams spend less time coordinating routine activities and more time supporting the wider business.
Information governance requires shared responsibility.
Legal, Compliance and Privacy teams help establish requirements, while IT, Information Security, Records Management and business functions play important roles in implementing and maintaining appropriate controls.
Clear ownership, consistent processes and coordinated decision-making are essential.
Information governance helps organisations apply appropriate preservation requirements to information that may be relevant to litigation, investigations or regulatory enquiries.
By incorporating legal holds into retention and disposition processes, organisations can help prevent information from being destroyed while preservation obligations remain in place.
Yes. iCompli supports information governance across supported, connected repositories, helping organisations apply consistent processes without requiring all information to be managed within one application.
This can help organisations coordinate information lifecycle management across different business systems and departments.
AI tools can make information easier to access and use, but they may also surface sensitive, outdated or unnecessarily retained information.
Information governance helps organisations understand what information they hold, apply retention and disposition policies, and make informed decisions about what information should be available for AI use.
