Executive Summary

The mandate across government to create a participatory, transparent and collaborative environment and to implement Web 2.0/Gov 2.0 strategies creates a balancing act with compliance. Transparent and participatory government must be accessible and available to everyone-truly reinforcing the principal of citizen-centric government. However, this does not negate the obligation of the government to also protect private and sensitive information. Gov 2.0 technologies like, social networking, blogging, Wikis, etc. can help governments engage more effectively, efficiently, and directly with its citizens. It also creates a new policy landscape as agencies rush to create their strategies for the use of these emerging and rapidly evolving solutions. Government agencies must meet these requirements. On one side of the see-saw is the need to give constituents access to information that should be available and on the other is the protection of information that should not be available. Balancing the two often conflicting requirements can create a challenge if not managed properly. This whitepaper will explore how government agencies can meet their obligations to provide citizen centered government solutions while at the same time maintaining their statuary and regulatory compliance requirements using Microsoft SharePoint® Server 2010 and HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff® for SharePoint®.
