Governance, Risk and Compliance (Compliance) have become critical issues over the last few years. With the pace of regulation continuing to increase, their impact on IT has become substantial. Dealing with compliance issues is challenging as both risk and regulation emanate from many sources, which requires continuous monitoring and impact assessment. Meeting the demands of Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, the revised Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, for example, means that the cost of compliance grows with each new regulation, especially if the IT organization implements separate controls for each. To manage these costs, many enterprises are adopting standards, enabling them to meet multiple regulatory requirements with a single set of controls. CobiT, ISO 17799 and ITIL are among those being used.

From an IT perspective, the problem of managing compliance issues is most acute for unstructured information - the data that resides in files and filesystems. Some organizations have deployed applications for email archival and enterprise content management (ECM) to address Compliance requirements. However, a complementary solution is needed for file and email data not residing in these repositories, as these information assets cannot be tracked and managed for compliance known to the organization.

The problem of managing information that presents a risk and is subject to regulation is difficult not so much in terms of enforcing access control and managing retention, rather it is the determination of which information should be subject to more rigorous access control and managed retention that is the most difficult task. Most organizations have no way to make this determination and equally have no method to ensure that their policies related to privacy are being followed; manual audits are simply too time consuming and costly to be either thorough or frequent enough to detect and resolve issues.
