RISK AND SECURITY

Risk Management for Information and Records management

Description: We all want everything in life to be risk-free. Nevertheless, some risks are worth taking as they help us achieve our organisational goals. Managing Risks doesn’t mean there will be no risk; we manage risks for us to know if they are worth taking!

Risk Management protects our business, and assists us in identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks that would potentially affect business operations.

Developing a Risk Matrix for Digitisation

Description: Where do records management and digitisation fit in when it comes to risk management? What are the risks when going digital? Will the cost be managed? Will records be destroyed without authorisation?

These are some of the risk questions that we ask ourselves when planning to go digital. As we deal with risks regularly, the risk management matrix will help identify the high-value records and the risk associated with their loss or destruction of paper copies when going digital.
