CGOV.8:2 - Problem

A company can publish many documents while withholding the fact that changes a shareholder’s vote. A director can receive a favourable summary that loses the condition on which the analysis depends. Conversely, sending every requested file can expose information the recipient is not entitled to receive.

An information right, the available content and actual access are different conditions. A permission in the policy cannot compensate for an inaccessible portal; a working download link cannot supply the missing right.
