9 Principles for Records Management Best Practices

As a busy business owner, we know you want to stay in the loop when it comes to emerging technology and trends as they relate to streamlining your businesses operations. We here at ScanSearch make sure we compile all of the latest news and industry developments in one helpful place to keep up with your demanding schedule.

Our friends over at information & data manager aka idm.net are the authority when it comes to laying out defining principles and today we are going over their recommendations for Records Management Best Practices.

“Records management is rarely smooth sailing – it can often feel like you’re a tiny vessel in the middle of a sea of legislation. Just when you think you’re paddling in the right direction, a wave of legislation sends you reeling. Yet records management compliance needn’t be this difficult. Enterprises make it harder for themselves by treating records management as an afterthought, instead of an intrinsic part of their everyday operations. In this article we’ll discuss the nine rules for records management best practices for implementation in your organization.

1) Prioritise Security and Privacy

One of the first priorities for any business intent on getting its house in order regarding record-keeping, is to ensure strict data security and privacy measures are in place. If security is lax, your data could be vulnerable to a breach. A data leak could have huge monetary repercussions whilst also creating a host of PR problems. It is incumbent upon businesses to safeguard their records and treat client data and information with the security that it deserves.

Without the right security measures in place, cybercriminals can not only access your records but also install malware into your systems which could capture your clientele’s vital data. Responding to security alerts should be considered an integral part of records management best practices. Just recently, the Marriott hotel chain was subject to a data breach that resulted in details of 500 million guests being stolen, which could cost the company $US200 million.

Your electronic document and records management system (eDRMS) should have strong inbuilt security features to keep information secure, with encryption of data in transit through a strong SSL connection.

Accessibility is another key component of security and privacy, which can be broken down into two parts; appropriate user access levels within an organisation and discoverability/usability of information to support business activities. Organisations must ensure that sensitive, private or classified information can only be accessed by specific individuals with appropriate permissions.

Making information easy to find and use not only significantly impacts organisational efficiency, it is also one of the Digital Continuity Principles introduced by the National Archives of Australia to ensure digital information is discoverable, accessible and usable.

Processes and safeguards should also be in place to prevent any unauthorised destruction or deletion of registered physical and digital records as well as their associated metadata. Using an electronic document and records management system (eDRMS) will assist in recording, tracking and monitoring records.”

Cold Storage in the Cloud: Comparing AWS, Google, Microsoft

“As cloud storage options continue to evolve, organizations are finding more options for cutting the cost of keeping data”

Bill Kleyman at DataCenter Knowledge has broken down the key differences when it comes to AWS, Google and Microsoft and seeing how they stack up against each other. In this blog post we will go over some high level take aways from their article as well as dive deeper into how ScanSearch can help your business when it comes to cloud storage solutions.

“As the volume of data companies generate and need to keep balloons, the top cloud providers have come up with a type of cloud service that may replace at least some portion of the market for traditional backup products and services. Cold storage delivered as a cloud service is changing the way organizations store and deliver vast amounts of information. The big question is whether cold storage can provide for better backup economics.

Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and since April also Microsoft Azure now offer cloud cold storage services. Each has a different approach, so how do they stack up against each other?

Addressing the Data Deluge

Virtually all analysts are predicting that the cloud services market will continue growing and growing quickly. Gartner said recently that cloud will constitute the bulk of new IT spend this year. This will be a defining year for the space, as private cloud begins to give way to hybrid cloud, and nearly half of large enterprises will have hybrid cloud deployments by the end of 2017.

So how much data are we creating. Cisco estimates that global data center traffic is firmly in the zettabyte era and will go from 3.4ZB in 2014 to 10.4ZB in 2019. A rapidly growing segment of data center traffic is cloud traffic, which in 2019 will account for 8.6ZB of that projected 10.4ZB.

With Google and Amazon already in the cold storage market, Microsoft decided to join the game as well. In April, Microsoft announced the general availability of Cool Blob Storage – low cost storage for cool object data.”

Nervous System: Oliver North and the Origin Story of Legal Technology

E-discovery may be common in today’s legal world, but that certainly wasn’t always the case. This month’s history of cybersecurity looks back to how discovery technology was developed, and what it has to do with the Iran-Contra affair.

“With the aggressive pace of technological change and the onslaught of news regarding data breaches, cyber-attacks, and technological threats to privacy and security, it is easy to assume these are fundamentally new threats. The pace of technological change is slower than it feels, and many seemingly new categories of threats have been with us longer than we remember. Nervous System is a monthly series that approaches issues of data privacy and cybersecurity from the context of history—to look to the past for clues about how to interpret the present and prepare for the future.

In November 1986, an internal leak to the press exposed a secret United States operation to funnel the proceeds of weapons sold to the Islamic Republic of Iran (in violation of an arms embargo) to fund the revolutionary Contras in Nicaragua (in contravention of Congress). As the press started to cover the scandal, Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North went to his computer at the National Security Council and started deleting emails pertaining to his role in the scheme. Over the course of a frantic weekend, he manually deleted around 750 emails.:
