What participants have said
“Understanding the breadth of what IG needs to cover these days was enlightening, and the hooks that can be used to deliver a framework was very useful.”
“The IG Foundations workshop was great – well-paced, a good length, knowledgeable presenter. It provided a good opportunity for discussion, which can be just as valuable as the information being presented.”
“I loved hearing other experiences, making the lesson real life and giving confidence in my progress and lack of IG maturity at my organisation.”
“The IG Foundations workshop was just enough for the length of the session to get a good overview of what it is and how to do it.”
“Detailing the IG framework and seeing the different approaches was very beneficial, but mostly Susan’s knowledge and the engagement of other participants was really interesting to hear their challenges and approaches.”
“Really valuable IG foundations workshop that sets the scene on the importance of IG and practical steps on how to get started.”
“Very comprehensive for such a short time period. Knowledgeable and personable speaker with great working documents and easy to read presentation.”

Susan Bennett is Principal of Sibenco Legal & Advisory and Founder and Executive Director of Information Governance ANZ. Susan’s focus is driving best practice holistic governance solutions aligning data, information, privacy and records with technology and regulatory compliance to achieve organisational goals. Susan’s PhD thesis was titled: Privacy and Data Protection: the interaction of meta-regulation and information governance, the findings are intended as a practical governance solution to assist organisations in achieving data and privacy meta-regulatory requirements, while pursuing strategic organisational objectives.
With thirty years of experience as a lawyer and advisor, Susan helps organisations grappling with the risks and challenges of regulatory compliance arising from using technology (including AI) with growing volumes of data and, particularly, personal data. Susan delivers practical and responsive solutions to assist organisations across the following interconnected areas:
- Corporate Governance in the AI and Information Age: Integrated risk management and governance frameworks, policies and procedures to improve information flows to the Board to achieve organisational objectives to reduce the risks arising from the use of new data-driven technologies, including AI, and evolving regulatory requirements, such as privacy, AI and ESG.
- Information and Technology (AI) Governance: Developing and aligning best practice policies and processes into the overarching risk management framework to achieve improved regulatory compliance to improve risk management and reducing risks while enabling the strategic benefits of data-driven technologies to be maximised.
- Data and Information Lifecycle Management: Improving data lifecycle management through policy, people and technology alignment of data collection, management, record retention and, importantly, disposal of data that is no longer required to be retained. This requires robust information governance led from the board down, the alignment of policies and processes across the organisational silos for effective information lifecycle management. improved data quality for decision-making throughout the organisation and up to and including risk and audit committees and the Board.
- Privacy and PIA/DPIA: Policies and procedures to comply with privacy requirements, privacy impact assessments, including ethical AI (PIA/DPIAs), privacy-by-design, critical incident planning and data breach response.
