RECORD MANAGEMENT REVIEW AND AUDIT

The Data Protection Acts requires organisations to retain records for as long as is required for your business purpose; this places responsibilities on organisation to manage their records and ensure that they are only retained for specified periods. Record Management Review and Audit will assist your organisation in determining the business needs for particular records and therefore how long they must be retained. AllOne will support you to develop your own Record Management Policy and ensure compliance with the Data Protection Acts.
