Regulatory Compliance

An important part of records management is making sure that your organization's records management policies are compliant with the various laws and regulations affecting your organization. These regulations can specify the specific types of records your organization must create, as well as how long your organization must retain them.

Records managers need to identify which laws and regulations their organization needs to comply with, and how to follow them. They also must develop procedures that govern the creation, storage, retrieval, and retention of the necessary records.
