Best Practice Information Asset Management
TRAINING COURSEInformation Asset Management (IAM) provides a structured approach to identifying, categorizing, and leveraging information as a strategic asset
The Value of IAM
Creating and maintaining an Information Asset Register (IAR) isn’t just a best practice—it’s a legal and regulatory requirement in many jurisdictions worldwide.
Countries such as Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and across Europe mandate organisations to systematically document their information assets to ensure accountability, compliance, and risk management.
An effective IAR helps organisations identify, classify, and safeguard critical data, supporting regulatory obligations related to privacy, cybersecurity, and information governance.
Failing to maintain an IAR can result in legal penalties, security vulnerabilities, and operational inefficiencies, making it an essential tool for responsible data stewardship.
