Webinar
Many firms know they are retaining more information than they need, but the scale of the backlog can make it difficult to know where to begin. The result is often analysis paralysis that causes further delay, rising costs and growing risk.
Retaining unnecessary information increases storage costs, cyber exposure and compliance risk. It can also raise AI costs, reduce the quality of outputs and expose confidential, privileged or client-restricted information that should be kept outside AI environments.
This ILTA Masterclass, led by Jason Maust, Information Governance Manager at McGuireWoods LLP, will provide a practical approach to reducing a destruction backlog without trying to solve everything at once. It will explore how to get firm management backing to aggressively tackle ancient data and move your firm into compliance with your retention policies by identifying lower-risk, high-value starting points and then keep momentum going. The session will also show how an initial clean-up programme can develop into an ongoing information governance plan that reduces risk and cost, improves operational efficiency and creates a better-governed foundation for AI.
Attendees will learn how to:
• Understand the key risk, cost, compliance and AI drivers for destruction
• Obtain buy-in from firm leadership • Identify practical areas where progress can be made quickly
• Prioritize information according to risk, cost, volume and complexity
• Move from a one-off clean-up project to an ongoing disposition programme
