Which of the following is the PRIMARY purpose of information governance?

Developing control procedures is a component of information governance and management, but not its primary, overarching purpose, which is strategic direction.

Monitoring processes is an operational activity that supports information governance, but governance itself is about establishing the framework and direction.

Information governance provides the overarching framework for how an organization values, manages, and uses its information assets, establishing policies, roles, and responsibilities to align information strategy with business objectives. It guides decisions on data quality, security, and lifecycle management.

While ensuring regulatory compliance is a critical outcome and driver for information governance, the primary purpose is broader, encompassing strategic value creation and efficient management beyond just compliance.
