Many organizations are seeing surges in the amount of unstructured data in their environments, even as new data breaches come to light every week. As a result, those organizations face increased audit and regulatory pressure regarding loose access controls over unstructured data that might contain sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, credit card data, health care information and proprietary data. Without a designated data owner, all data must be treated as mission-critical. That means extra costs in the form of expensive storage, backups and so on.

But more important, you can’t be secure or compliant without designated data owners. After all, only information owners can decide who should have access to unstructured data. But what if you haven’t designated any data owners? Who should they be? This paper will take you through a seven-step process for establishing information owners for unstructured data. Throughout, Quest will show how One Identity Manager – Data Governance Edition helps automate the complex processes of governing and controlling unstructured data.
