The GARP Principle of Accountability dictates that a senior executive must formally oversee the information governance program to ensure it moves beyond a simple IT function.
Delivering a formal delegation of authority document establishes the clear chain of command needed to enforce RIM policies across all departments.
- Who is the senior-most executive currently holding formal accountability for records in your organization?
- How can you clearly document this delegation of responsibility to empower your RIM team?
Action Item: Draft a one-page "Delegation of RIM Authority" document for executive sign-off.
