Document management

Document management policies are crucial to ensuring that businesses comply with statutory and regulatory obligations and that confidential or sensitive information is protected. The following are some of the areas you should consider in preparing or reviewing your document management procedures:

  • Are you aware of and in compliance with statutory and regulatory obligations on document retention, privacy and data protection in all jurisdictions in which you operate? How would you demonstrate compliance?
  • How confident are you that your company understands the legal and regulatory risk in transferring data across jurisdictions?
  • Can company records be easily identified and recovered from archiving or storage?
  • Is your document management system secure?
  • Do you have proper document retention procedures in place? Are these correctly implemented?
  • Do you have effective procedures in place to properly preserve documents sought by regulators or others?
  • Have you considered how to manage the reputational risk of sensitive information going missing?
