Information Governance has long been used in the NHS and other government organisations and recently it has started to be used much more widely to cover the governance of information within all types of organisation, both public and private.

At its basic level information governance (IG) is framework for the management of personal information in a legal and ethical way. It goes somewhat further than just "data protection", and instead takes in many key information management areas including confidentiality, information security, data quality and freedom of information.

The Information Edge have been providing IG advice to public organisations for a considerable time and we can bring our extensive skills to bear on your business, to understand your business needs and ensure that the right information management controls are in place to make your organisation more effective.

For NHS trusts our skilled advisors have delivered entire Information Governance Toolkits, a requirement for NHS organisations. We are also able to advise you properly on the recent information mapping requirements which have been introduced as a reaction to recent high profile data losses and which place an added burden on trusts. The Information Edge can take you through the process, ensure that you prioritise your workload from this exercise and remain effective whilst complying with the Connecting for Health timescales.
