What is a trusted system?
Trusted electronic records systems:
- Use a combination of hardware, software and media storage that prevent unauthorized alterations
- Are verifiable through an independent auditing process
- Keep backup copies of information (at least one in a safe and separate location)
- Use policies and procedures to ensure proper records handling
If you don’t have a trusted electronic records system, your business or organization can face fines, compensation claims or business suspensions for a compliance breach. You have to keep your clients’ data safe.
Creating your trusted records system
To create a successful trusted content management or records system, it’s vital to involve the right people in your organization early on in the process. This includes your management staff, legal counsel, IT staff, records managers and archivists, and the business units and end users who’ll use the content management system. We’ll help you identify them, get their buy-in and involve them throughout the project.
These phases include:
Phase 1: Conduct a high-level and detailed process baseline and identify business and technology objectives and goals
Phase 2: Conduct technology evaluation and determine business and technical requirements
Phase 3: Plan data migration, evaluate forms, document taxonomy classification and determine
Phase 4: Create a detailed technical RFP, evaluate product demos and select a vendor and technology solution
Phase 5: Design, develop, test and evaluate system
Phase 6: Conduct implementation planning, user training and feedback, document business processes and policies and procedures.
