Tips on creating a strong Governance and Compliance strategy for your Intranet
A well-run intranet is the key to keeping your company’s workflows organised and effective. To help you get the most out of its internal communication platform, here are some tips on creating a strong Governance and Compliance strategy.
Ensuring Clarity and Purpose
- Leaders must establish clear purposes for the platform, ensuring it delivers content, facilitates communication, enables collaboration, and enhances business activities. Assigning a board or committee responsible for overseeing the intranet’s operation is crucial for organisations.
- Assigning a dedicated board or committee to oversee the intranet guarantees unanimous agreement on its function, fostering efficiency.
Optimising Intranet content
- To prevent teams from being overwhelmed by obsolete material, actively implement clear protocols around content. External linking policies ensure intranet links lead to trusted sources, upholding integrity and the organisation’s commitment to accuracy.
- Prioritising inclusivity actively increases accessibility by including features such as colour contrast checkers and ensuring the provision of alt text for images.
- As technology complexity escalates, consequently, so does the cybersecurity risk. To address this, proactively implement robust security protocols and foster a culture of cyber awareness within the organisation.
- Simply put, having strong rules and policies for governing and safeguarding compliance can help reduce exposures, minimise data breaks, and prevent illegal access. These policies, along with effective checking and tracking mechanisms, make sure that handling data is clear and responsible. Following these rules is crucial for organisations to avoid potential security disasters
