ROT Introduction & Prevention Tips
ROT stands for Redundant, Obsolete, and/or Trivial information and includes all information NOT being stored for a valid business, legal or common practice purpose. It is duplicative of official records, past its useful life, and/or information that does not meet the standard for an official record. Also, it’s important to remember that ROT consists of both physical and electronic information, including email.
Examples of why it is problematic:
- Storage is expensive. Although it seems like less of a problem to store ROT electronically it can actually be more expensive in the long term than paper. For example, extensive ROT...
New eDiscovery Horizons: Employee Personal Devices
When we think about the universe of discoverable records during the course of pending litigation, we usually call to mind all of the business records responsive to the other party’s claim. Most businesses generally assume that the scope of discoverable documents includes only work-related items in the company’s custody: work emails, papers, documents on company workstations and servers, etc. Private emails and files on employees’ own personal devices and home computers, it is often presumed, are beyond the purview of litigation. However, a recent ruling in a Federal case from the Eastern District of New York has potentially upended this...
Managing Legacy Data through the Migration Process
Data management in the modern era faces complications from numerous facets, including controlling volume and securing information from breach. Perhaps less discussed publicly, but a problem faced by every company, is the challenge of migrating data from legacy systems.
Systems commonly become obsolete as they are retired by the provider, new technology and features pique interest, or the organization changes. Regardless, once a determination is made to transition, the migration of the data must be properly managed. The features and functions of the new system, as well as the character and use of the impacted data, will dictate...
DNA-Based Storage: The Future of Data Archiving?
What if there was a storage medium capable of storing billions of gigabytes of data in the size of a sugar crystal, with the ability to securely preserve it for centuries without decay or data loss? How far-fetched does it seem to be able to shrink the same amount of information currently filling a big data center down to the size of a sugar cube, and then to store it in a garage for hundreds of years without deterioration? With the development of DNA-based storage, this dream is closer to reality than we might think.
As the digital universe expands...
Designing the Modern Records Management Solution
Records Management in Design
Records management isn’t a topic designers often hear about in the design industry. Before the existence of digital art, designers organized artwork in humidity-controlled environments to protect the materials and increase longevity; but implementing a records management application or process was rarely considered because the need for records management wasn’t there.
However, records management is now an important topic for most businesses. To this day, there are some in different industries that still create, manage and store physical records. Fortunately, with the advancement in technology, businesses can easily manage various types of physical files and...

Brexit Implications for Records Management
Brexit Implications for Records Management
Immediately following the news of Britain’s decision to the leave the EU by vote, many unanswered questions arose regarding the implications for companies operating in the UK. Nothing has changed yet, but moving forward and following the anticipated confirmation of the UK’s exit, records management issues will be one of many for companies to consider.
If your company currently has operations in the UK it is likely the records retention schedule is reliant on requirements mandated by European Union laws; the reason being, many UK record-keeping requirements are set and/or provided a floor minimum standard...

EU-US Privacy Shield Introduction and Current Status
Introduction
The proposed Privacy Shield agreement between the US and EU seeks to streamline EU data protection compliance for commercial exchanges requiring the transfer of personal data from the EU to the US. If approved, it would replace the Safe Harbor agreement which was deemed inadequate in assuring the protection of personal data by the European Court of Justice.
Privacy Shield seeks to satisfy the concerns opined by the European Court of Justice by requiring stronger obligations and enforcement mechanisms on companies and US government agencies including: affirmations and assurances about proper personal data use; restrictions on onward transfer; oversight...
