Qualcomm emphasizes the importance of an effective Information Governance (IG) policy in today's digital landscape, where organizations face increased risks of cybersecurity threats. Key considerations for establishing a robust IG policy include identifying what needs protection (such as Personally Identifiable Information and Company Confidential Information), determining who can access this data, and specifying how it can be accessed. The right workflow solutions are essential for balancing security with usability, particularly for sensitive documents often contained in Microsoft Office files. Qualcomm offers solutions, including DirectOffice Document Conversion Software, that facilitate secure document handling and viewing without compromising information governance. This approach helps organizations protect sensitive data while maintaining productivity.
