Kahn Consulting has recently released the results of a landmark study on the relationships between governance, risk management and compliance (GRC), electronic discovery, and records and information management (RIM).

Big surprise: Most employees have little understanding of their GRC, RIM, E-Discovery responsibilities.
Less than one quarter of organizations surveyed believe that their employees understand their GRC, RIM and E-Discovery responsibilities and how to fulfill them. Only 9% of employees have a good understanding of how GRC impacts them; only 15% understand their Legal Hold and E-Discovery responsibilities; and only 21% understand how information should be retained and disposed of. Although 67% of those surveyed state that employee training is “critical to their success,” the low confidence in employee awareness indicates that most organizations have more GRC, RIM, and E-Discovery training to do.
