In today’s world, the threats to information security are greater than ever before, and so is regulatory scrutiny over organizational practices. Records and information services management professionals are particularly at risk in light of the large volume of potentially sensitive information with which they are entrusted.

Firm IP attorney Kyle J. Glover, and Vanguard Archives President Chris Pearson will provide a soup-to-nuts overview of the process of building and/or improving your organization’s Information Security Program from a legal perspective. Presenters will review important case law and regulations covering the records and information services industry in this area, as well as discuss pitfalls and best practices.
