So, if an IT manager asked you "What does records management have to do
with information security?" how would you answer him/her? 

 

I think I would organize my answer thusly:

 

  "Inventory - records managers are versed in records inventories.
Knowing what information you have and where it resides is the first step
toward securing it.

 

  Retention - establishing a policy wherein information is destroyed
after its useful life has ended will reduce the risk of data breach.

 

  Compliance-the same legal research that is used for developing the
retention schedule also identifies any outside rules regarding data
security that apply to the organization, ex: FACTA.

 

  Destruction Method - records managers are versed in proper policies,
methods, and controls for the destruction of records and information."

 

I would be interested to know how others might answer this question.
