Records Management Standards

Records Management Standards are established guidelines and best practices that organizations follow to create, maintain, organize, and preserve their records properly. These standards ensure that important documents are accurate, secure, easily retrievable, and retained for the appropriate length of time. They help organizations comply with legal and regulatory requirements, improve efficiency, and protect sensitive information. Essentially, they provide a structured approach to handling records systematically throughout their lifecycle, from creation to disposal, ensuring consistency, accountability, and proper management across all records.
