Effective information management services

The management of information underpins all functions and activities of every organisation and contributes to the delivery of your mission and strategic goals.

Information is a critical business asset. Without robust information management practices, organisations struggle to operate effectively, meet customer expectations, and satisfy their regulatory obligations for records management, privacy, and information security.

Artificial Intelligence is creating a new wave of transformation because it changes not just how information is stored and transmitted and used, but how knowledge work itself is performed. The effective management of organisational information is essential to supporting this transformation.

As a leading specialist Information Management Risk Advisory firm, Votar Partners helps regulated organisations identify, assess and mitigate information risks before they become regulatory, operational or reputational failures.

We provide practical advice and guidance to support clients to better understand their information management environment and how this impacts on organisational performance and reduces business risks.

We believe the effective management of information is the foundation of any good business.

What we do

Through our experience, we know effective and efficient management of information assets underpins all functions and activities and will contribute to delivery of your services, mission, and strategic goals. Without good information management, organisations cannot operate effectively and cannot meet regulatory obligations. There are many factors to ensure the effective management:

Governance - Legislation, policy framework, strategy, audit
Legislative domains - Recordkeeping, privacy and information security
Information lifecycle - Creating, capturing, controlling, storing accessing and disposing of information
Enablers - People, culture, process, and technology

Information Architecture

Information Architecture is the way information is organised, structured, labelled and connected so that people can easily find, understand, use and manage it.

It can include the business Taxonomy, metadata, security access, retention, disposal, governance, and structural standards required to organise, secure, find, manage, and govern information consistently across the organisation, while ensuring compliance with record-keeping, privacy, and information security obligations.

Information Security

We help identify and implement the governance, controls and practices that protect information assests by preserving their confidentiality, integrity and availability.

With the right controls, organisations can manage risk, maintain compliance and support trusted decision making. We can evaluate current controls, determine residual risk and recommend security uplift activities to meet business and regulatory requirements

Information Governance and Risk

Identify and mitigate Information Management risks with our thorough assessments.

Assessments can consider records privacy and info security compliance, maturity and internal capability.

The focus is to understand the business needs and expectations of all stakeholders, including internal customers and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the various elements in meeting these needs.

From this we can work with you to develop a prioritised and realistic roadmap to support your ongoing maturity.

Privacy Impact Assessment

A Privacy Impact Assessment ( PIA) is a must for any organisation if you collect, use, disclose or handle personal information.

We analyse business systems and programs to understand the impact on individuals information privacy, identifying privacy risks, and designing realistic mitigation strategies before those risks become privacy breaches or compliance issues.

M365 Assessment and Adoption

This is not just a technical review. It’s a strategic reset. The assessment is fast, secure and low-disruption - but its impact is long-lasting.

Led by experienced consultants, the engagement provides clarity on what’s working, what’s not, and where improvements will deliver the most significant value.

Information Asset Register - IAR

Developing an IAR is not just a data collection exercise. It is an opportunity to educate and help staff understand and manage the “information assets” held by your organisation and to identify and assess information security risks, assign responsibilities, and prioritise security controls.

The IAR will provide you with a valuable tool to prioritise and protect your critical information by targeting information security controls and initiatives at your high-risk information assets.
