Steps of an information reviewBelow are suggested steps for conducting an information review. You can customise these steps to address your agency’s own work environment and business needs. Step 1: Determine the purpose and scopeThe scope of your information review will depend on its purpose, the size and complexity of your agency and its business, and its information assets. A complete enterprise-wide review can be done to help address common concerns for all information assets. In comparison, a review focusing on specific business systems might use a staged approach with multiple smaller reviews. These can target priority business areas, processes or activities.

You can secure support through your information governance committee or chief information governance officer. Step 3: Gather sourcesThings to consider when planning your review:
Your review should also consider other available sources of information about your agency’s information assets:
