RIM (Records and Information Management)

Records and Information Management (RIM) is the organized process of storing, maintaining, and protecting a company's records and data throughout their lifecycle. It involves policies and procedures to ensure information is accurate, accessible when needed, and securely disposed of when no longer required. RIM helps organizations comply with legal requirements, improve efficiency, and safeguard sensitive information. It covers all types of records—documents, emails, digital files—whether in physical or digital form—supporting effective decision-making and accountability.
