The protection of information assets through the use of technology, processes, and training.
A defined series of tasks within a process. When supported by software, this automates tasks with the ability to send notifications to persons involved in a process that their step in the process is ready for execution. For example, in processing a pay change, the document may be automatically routed from the Manager to HR or Compensation for approval and then to payroll for processing. At each stage in the workflow, one individual or group is responsible for a specific task. Once the task is complete, the workflow software ensures that the individuals responsible for the next task are notified and receive the data they need to execute their stage of the process. A process, usually automated, of steps with rules, roles, and routing instructions to achieve an outcome.
