I read an article recently about how the paperless push in the Victorian Government was apparently failing. My immediate thought was “not surprised” given the way most organisations (including government agencies) approach the transition to a paperless office.

Australia’s Federal Government has released a Discussion Paper as well as its Exposure Draft of Legislation to make it mandatory for certain organizations to report data breaches.

These factors include content analytics, the security of content and increased concern over compliance and governance risks.
