Your Data Left the DMS. Did Your Governance Follow?

Matter-related records now live across SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive. Most governance programs still stop at the DMS boundary. The exposure that creates, to regulators, auditors, and runaway storage costs, is real and growing.

Generic compliance platforms and newer point solutions may look compelling in a product demo. But governance depth that holds up under a regulatory audit cannot be assembled quickly. It takes purpose-built architecture, deep legal domain expertise, and connectors sophisticated enough to reach every repository without migrating data or disrupting workflows.

This eBook from Litera lays out a practical framework for the shift to data-centric governance, built on 30 years of legal technology expertise and trusted by 15,000+ organizations worldwide.

What You’ll Learn:

Why the DMS-centric governance model is no longer sufficient and what drove the shift
Where compliance exposure and audit vulnerability emerge across SharePoint, Teams, and file shares
The five categories of governance risk CIOs must understand: inconsistent enforcement, lack of visibility, fragmented disposition, audit exposure, and over-retention costs
How data-centric governance extends existing policies across every repository without migrating data or changing user behavior
A five-step framework for building a defensible, future-ready governance program, including one firm that dispositioned 1.5 million documents through a unified workflow
