About The Role

The Information Governance (IG), Privacy & Security practice is designed to help organisations better manage their information. We work with clients to help them develop and implement solutions that reduce corporate risk, cut storage costs, secure data, improve the data management/governance process, comply with global regulatory requirements, and enable faster and deeper insight into data.

FTI Technology’s IGPS is a fast-growing practice that has launched several consulting offerings designed to both minimize risk as well as reduce costs associated with the creation, sharing, use, production, and disposal of information.
