Questions on Your Mind What unknown content resides on my storage systems (File shares, collaboration applications, laptops)? •

Is the content appropriate?

•

Is the content searchable and secured?

•

Is there sensitive or confidential content?

Can the organization comply with internal policies? What is the cost and risk of unmanaged content? Do we have an archive strategy for information? Can content without business value be safely deleted? What information needs to be retained and for how long? Paragon Solutions, Inc. Proprietary - 11 -
