NEW Social Media Risk, Control and Governance Conference & Workshop 2012
Developing an integrated business solution for social media to enable your workforce while protecting your company's data and reputation
22 - 24 May 2012, London

Every company struggles with governance around social media. The speed at which social media has gained popularity has resulted in reactive corporate social media implementations, with governance being an afterthought. Existing company policies do not necessarily cover the sharing of data which can be commercially confidential, price sensitive or personal in nature.Information security professionals, risk managers, internal and IT auditors, heads of compliance and data privacy specialists are all looking to identify the key opportunities and risks of social media use and gain an understanding of what policies and controls need to be implemented within the enterprise environment.

The MIS Training Institute Social Media Risk, Control and Governance Conference will give you the opportunity to meet, listen to and learn from all aspects of the business involved in the governance of social media: The speaker faculty features perspectives from information security, internal audit, marketing, data privacy and leading consultants and advisors.

• Knowledge of how to create and enforce an effective enterprise governance framework for social media in your company
• Practical solutions and governance models relevant to your specific business environment
