17.4.9 Information Asset Manager

Information Asset Managers are accountable for defining the classification level of, authorizing access to, and ensuring an appropriate permission scheme for, the information assets within their remit, in accordance to any and all relevant laws, rules and regulations. In most cases, Information Asset Manager is the head of a research unit or administrative division handling the information asset.

The Information Asset Manager may designate an Information Asset Administrator to manage information assets, but accountability remains with the Information Asset Manager.
