At the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Ark of the Covenant - arguably one of the most dangerous and significant artefacts in human history - is sealed in a crate, wheeled through a vast government warehouse, and stored among thousands of identical boxes. A clerk stamps the paperwork. “Top men” are assigned. The camera pulls back, and the Ark disappears into obscurity.
As an archivist, records manager, or information governance professional, this scene is quietly horrifying.
There is no visible classification.
No clear custodianship.
No discoverability.
No retention or review trigger.
And no articulation of risk.
This is not preservation. It is not governance.
It is unmanaged compliance risk at scale.
In this session, Bethany use Indiana Jones as a storytelling lens to explore how records and archive compliance fails when it relies on individuals, secrecy, or ad-hoc controls, and how SABSA, as a business-driven security architecture, provides a powerful framework for designing trustworthy, compliant, and accountable records systems.
Indiana Jones is not the hero of this story.
Architecture is.
