of digital storage vs paper storage. What Hugh is pointing out is that RMs
need to be expanding their horizons and start looking at risk management of
the items under their control. Whether we're storing paper or digital with
an offsite vendor doesn't matter, we need to also focus on managing the risk
and holding the appropriate party or parties responsible for any losses.

as to Digits to Dust here is the article Hugh is referring to
