Corporate record retention policy management

Industries in every shape and size and across fields deal with highly sensitive personal records. These documents may include:

• Customer data
• Applications and trainings
• Medical information
• Employment payment data

Knowing what types of documents to hang on to, and for how long, requires standardisation across departments.

Information lifecycle management

The creation of your company’s record retention policy will be tailored to your business goals and the documentation you prioritise. The information lifecycle will depend on these distinctions, and may differ based on industry, the material your organisation engages with and the security requirements of the information.

Implementing information lifecycle management

In order to set up an efficient lifecycle management system, a company must:

• Decide what records are important to their overarching goals.
• Set up a document retention system to manage living files in accordance to business needs.
• Implement a disposal schedule to remove wasteful and outdated documents.
• Codify their system along governmental regulations.
