Reading Time: 4 minutes, 37 seconds
The €50 million fine levied last week by the French National Commission on Informatics and Liberty (CNIL) against Google for violations of the GDPR has struck the tech industry with a resounding thunderclap, sending shockwaves that are being felt in boardrooms across the globe. As the first significant penalty imposed against a major multinational technology company under the EU’s new GDPR regime, the hefty fine is widely viewed as a shot across the bow in the coming struggle between privacy regulators and big data aggregators about the scope of conduct that will be permitted...
Is Redundant, Obsolete and Hidden Data Putting your Organization at Risk?
Reading Time: 4 minutes, 36 seconds
In any organization there is overlooked information that is never noticed and no one ever thinks about it. It includes, among other things, information captured in an image archive or document management repository, or it could be data housed in ERP systems, collaborative workflow platforms or any number of line-of-business databases. Even copiers and scanners hold cached images you may not know about. Things like social security numbers, financial and medical account details, addresses and phone numbers, are all found in these repositories, yet that information can be overlooked or hidden from view; especially...

Microsoft SharePoint is a well-known and widespread platform for team collaboration and business productivity that is used in organizations across the globe.

Records Management vs. Document Management
Reading Time: 2 minutes 30 seconds
If you’re new to records and document management, the two ideas might seem interchangeable. After all, what is the difference between a “record” and a “document?” Moreover, if you’re tasked with selecting software to address one or both concerns, you might be overwhelmed with the amount of information available for each process. Big surprise: these are two very different realms of dealing with information.
Let’s explore the difference between these two disciplines. This is especially important if you’re looking for software to meet business needs to clarify which features you might be looking for...

Reading Time: 2 minutes 30 seconds
As the need for professionals to manage information grows, there’s an increasing desire to define the different roles required to do so effectively.

How Do You Define the Role of a Records and Information Manager?
Reading Time: 2 minutes 30 seconds
If you’re a records manager, how do you explain your profession to the curious? If pressed for why you became a records manager, do you have a go-to answer? If you’re like many records managers, you probably have a unique background, are impeccably organized, and most likely take your job pretty seriously. Like your records manager peers, you might sometimes feel that people think you’re a glorified librarian, but you know that’s not even close to the case. Librarians have their own wonderfully complex careers, but they can’t be easily compared to records management....

eading time: 2 minutes 30 seconds
It’s almost Halloween, that time of year when many of us enjoy a good scare. However, one kind of fright no company wants to wake up to is the dark, dreaded monster of noncompliance. We often discuss household names when they face sanctions after information governance nightmares. Think the 2016 hack of Sony Pictures, the 2018 Facebook/Cambridge Analytic scandal, and the 2017 data breach at Equifax. However, it can and does happen even when we don’t hear about it. Let’s take a look at some recent thrillers in the realm of information governance.

Pre-Employment Records Are Records Too
Read Time: 2 minutes 30 seconds
Like every organization, you’re in the business of hiring. So, what if an applicant doesn’t quite make the cut? After you send the letdown email or make the call to the hopeful candidate, you probably have some common next steps. Do you shred the applicant’s resume and toss their application? Maybe, like many businesses, you keep the resume on file in case you want to revisit the job seeker’s credentials later.
