StoredIQ's Information Governance solutions provide organizations with a comprehensive, secure and efficient approach to meeting their governance and compliance needs. With StoredIQ, companies can manage risk and support compliance even while reducing collection, preservation and processing expenses.

The result is an effective - and cost-effective - answer for today's highly regulated, business world.

When it comes to information governance, today's organizations find themselves between two challenges. On the one hand, regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley, Basel II, HIPAA and the Personal Data Privacy and Security Act of 2007 place mounting pressures on companies to establish and maintain an effective corporate governance strategy. This includes the proper storage and management of a growing volume of unstructured electronically stored information (ESI).

On the other hand, organizations need to contain expenses. Older, redundant information is often of little if any business value, yet the cost of storage can be significant. The challenge is how to retain necessary records while avoiding the risk of non-compliance.

StoredIQ's Information Governance is a cost-effective, auditable solution for the management of information, storage, retention and access as required for proper governance.

Organizations can proactively identify content that does not comply with corporate governance policies, helping to ensure that these issues are addressed before they become legal issues. Records can also be deleted automatically according to retention policies and schedules.

Business risk can also be addressed with StoredIQ solution. StoredIQ technology can help protect business-critical information assets such as account numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers, trade secrets, financial records, strategic business plans and IP/source code.

With StoredIQ, organizations can better manage both risk and cost while supporting efforts toward compliance in a strategic, effective manner.

Organizations can use StoredIQ solutions to properly discover, classify and manage all information according to business value and risk. They can automate retention rules according to their existing records retention schedules - without requiring end-user collaboration.

In addition, the StoredIQ solution enables the implementation of enterprise-wide records retention policies, and destruction of active data based upon configurable records management policies. Organizations can also perform a thorough automated inventory control and, if needed, deliver those documents to existing management systems.

The result is a legally defensible, cost-effective and efficient solution for records management and destruction.

StoredIQ is the only solution that provides a pre-configured, out-of-the-box classification for Acceptable Use, Financial Controls, Intellectual Property, Privacy and more general business policy rules.

What's more, once risk has been identified through classification, automated polices can address the risk by modifying the security attributes where the data resides, move the data to a more secure system within the enterprise or alternatively delete the items of risk.

StoredIQ Information Governance solutions are carefully designed to help organizations:

• Comply with corporate policy and government regulations, knowing exactly what information they have and where in order to meet all regulatory requirements.
• Reduce risk, preempt litigation and avoid fines, based on the ability to proactively identify and secure documents as required by law or the possibility of litigation.
• Help ensure that valuable business information is safe and accessible to authorized personnel only, according to regulatory compliance requirements and corporate access policies.
• Migrate older, infrequently accessed documents to less expensive storage facilities.
• Automatically enforce record retention schedules through automated identification and retention of records to immutable storage facilities.
• "Clean house" by proactively identifying and destroying documents whose age exceeds document retention policies.
