A quick guide to records management and retention

We are all faced with an ever increasing volume of records, including emails and traditional paper documents. Legislation and regulation covering records management is so complex and far-reaching that compliance can become a major challenge as well as a drain on your resources. This makes a mandatory retention policy indispensable for minimising both business risks and the chance of costly litigation, caused either by destroying information before, or retaining it beyond, the end of its legally required retention period.

This guide gives you an overview of the regulations governing record retention and the relevant legal issues. The quick references help you cut through the complexity and get a clear picture of different record types and their business functions, as well as the legislation that affects them. It also offers practical suggestions to meet challenges.

Why comply?

  • Fines for non-compliance are increasing
  • Risk of investigatory audits by the authorities
  • Reputational risks are substantial with an ever less tolerant public
  • Risk of prosecution, claims for damages or claims for injunctions in civil proceedings
  • It pays to be compliant: don’t store what you don’t need to
  • An inventory is not a maybe, it’s a must

Effective records management is about planning, organising and controlling the different stages in the life of a record – from its creation, through its active and inactive periods, to its destruction or permanent storage. Efficient records management meets the dual needs of providing easy retrieval of information while keeping costs to a minimum.

A comprehensive records management programme gives you immediate and long-term benefits:

Controlling record volumes

Implementing a records retention schedule and destroying unnecessary records can cut your physical and digital storage requirement by up to 40%. Managing the creation of new records will reduce the costs of organising, maintaining and disposing of them.

Improving access to information

With the right systems and procedures in place you can respond faster to business challenges, provide better customer service and make informed decisions.

Ensuring regulatory compliance

You’re faced with a multitude of industry-specific rules, national laws and European regulations on corporate bookkeeping and records conversion, retention and maintenance. A records management programme determines which records must be kept and for how long, in order to remain compliant.

Improving efficiency and productivity

Poor record keeping and badly managed or non-integrated systems mean costly delays when searching for misfiled records and prevents timely meeting of e-discovery orders or governmental subpoenas.

Safeguarding critical information

It is estimated that more than a third of all businesses that suffer a disaster never resume operations. An efficient records management programme ensures that you have protected copies of all business-critical records.

What does compliance involve?

  • Knowing the requirements – European, national and sector
  • Seeking appropriate legal advice to help you create your own retention schedule
  • Closed chain of custody – knowing what you’ve got and where it is, and monitoring who gained access for what purposes
  • Secure, organised storage
  • Secure, timely destruction

Industry facts

BAE was looking for a solution that would help better organise its information and safeguard their valuable information assets in highly secure facilities.
