I’ll draft an information governance policy covering: accountability (IG lead, roles); principles (lawful, fair, secure, accurate); collection and use; sharing (when and how); security and access; record-keeping and retention; training; breach response; and review. I’ll align with your data protection and record-keeping policies.
