– Partner with IT, Legal, Compliance, Data Privacy, and Records Management teams to ensure cross-functional alignment.
– Provide guidance to migration teams on classification and metadata tagging in line with global data privacy standards.
– Support change management efforts by educating users on new structures, metadata usage, and records management principles.
