Module 1: Foundations of Information Asset Management in ISO 16175

  • Define information assets according to ISO 16175 criteria, distinguishing between records, metadata, and supporting systems.
  • Map organizational data flows to ISO 16175 functional requirements for capture, maintenance, and disposal.
  • Evaluate the alignment of existing records management frameworks with ISO 16175 Part 1 principles.
  • Identify regulatory and compliance dependencies that influence the classification of information assets.
  • Assess the implications of digital continuity requirements on asset lifecycle design.
  • Establish governance boundaries for ownership, stewardship, and accountability of information assets.
  • Diagnose common misalignments between business processes and ISO 16175 metadata mandates.
  • Develop criteria for determining which datasets qualify as formal information assets under the standard.

  • Specify mandatory metadata elements from ISO 16175 Part 2 and map them to enterprise systems.
  • Balance metadata completeness against operational overhead in high-volume transaction environments.
  • Design metadata inheritance rules for compound or aggregated datasets.
  • Implement metadata validation rules to ensure consistency across distributed systems.
  • Integrate metadata requirements into system development life cycle (SDLC) governance.
  • Address gaps in metadata capture during system migration or legacy data ingestion.
  • Define retention triggers based on metadata attributes such as record status or business event.
  • Assess risks of metadata drift over time and implement monitoring controls.

Module 3: Information Governance and Compliance Architecture
