The Road to Responsible Information Management • Be an advocate - It must start at the top! • Recognize the information your agency has is a strategic enabler for mission accomplishment • Achieve compliance with laws and regulations • Create a governance structure - Enlist all departmental resources • Collaborate with other agencies • Work with the Office of Information Security and Privacy Protection
What’s In It for You as an Executive? • Increased business success/resilience • Performance improvements • Online (e-government) initiatives can be realized • Security is integrated into your business processes • Decreased risk to operations and business
What’s In It for Californians? • Increased public confidence and trust • They can’t take their business elsewhere • The knowledge that Government is taking this seriously • California Government must be a leader in responsible information management • Californians are counting on you to manage our information responsibly
Nirvana –Better Together! • Be a leader in the paradigm shift • Be proactive vs reactive – embrace responsible information management • Implement concepts as part of the core business principles • Empower your ISO and Privacy Officer! • Make it a department-wide effort! • Start small, lay out a plan, and continuously improve • Be a model for others
