What is a Data Leak?
Refresh your news feed and you will often see yet another company has become the victim of a data leak. Today, most companies are storing sensitive information electronically, making data leaks a major concern. Information security is becoming more important than ever.
Data Leak vs. Data Breach

Digitizing Records Considerations for RIM Professionals
Considerations When Digitizing Records
A recent survey of over 500 records and information management (RIM) professionals revealed decision makers are intrigued by the benefits of transforming physical records into digital. This is not surprising given technology’s influence on society.
With digital records, however, come several issues that RIM professionals should consider: (1) identifying documents that may be kept in electronic form; (2) specifications or conditions of electronic records; and (3) security measures that are in line with a record’s content medium. Navigating these issues can be difficult. Nonetheless, businesses must consider the implications of records digitalization.
