In today’s world where humans produce 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily (that’s a million trillion!), the average data breach costs $3.86 million, and companies can face data privacy-related fines north of $800 million, records and information management (RIM) is getting more time in the spotlight.

Privacy and Confidentiality — a Sound Investment for Any Business
How an organization handles data matters. While records management covers many tenets of data collection, one particular area deserves exploration–privacy: what is it? How is it different from confidentiality? And why does this distinction matter?
While privacy and confidentiality may seem interchangeable, both terms refer to different points in the data lifecycle. Let’s start with how these concepts overlap. Both privacy and confidentiality pertain to how, when, and why information is stored or collected. However, privacy allows an individual to control what of their personal information an organization may collect, maintain, and share. Confidentiality on the other hand protects...

On November 3, 2020, just nine months after the CCPA became enforceable, California voters passed Prop 24 (also known as the California...

Is it a Myth? Or is it a Legendary Lesson?

Recordkeeping Basics: Managing Your Accounting Records
It is that time of year again! Time to look at your retention schedule and decide what needs to be organized. It is a love-hate relationship for some.
