Equip your organisation with a robust framework for compliant, efficient, and future-ready data management through this comprehensive self-assessment aligned with ISO 16175 standards. Designed for information governance professionals, records managers, and compliance leads, this programme delivers actionable insights to strengthen your data governance posture and ensure long-term authenticity, reliability, and accessibility of critical business records.
Explore three targeted modules that mirror the depth of a full-scale consulting engagement, enabling you to identify gaps, mitigate risk, and optimise your data environment with confidence:
- Foundations of ISO 16175 and Authentic Records: Evaluate your current recordkeeping practices against the core principles of reliability, integrity, and usability. Map legacy systems to ISO 16175 Part 1 functional requirements and distinguish between document, content, and records management systems within a compliance context. Strengthen auditability and metadata completeness to safeguard record authenticity.
- Data Lifecycle Governance: Design and assess data lifecycle processes—creation, maintenance, and disposition—to meet regulatory and operational demands. Implement retention rules that align legal obligations with cost-effective storage strategies. Automate workflows while preserving audit trails, reduce disposition backlogs, and coordinate cross-functional approvals to ensure smooth, compliant data handling.
- Metadata Design for Compliance: Develop and deploy mandatory metadata sets that support long-term accessibility and regulatory compliance. Diagnose inconsistencies across departments and align metadata profiles with ISO 16175 standards to ensure data remains discoverable, trustworthy, and reusable over time.
This self-assessment empowers your organisation to meet legal, operational, and archival obligations with greater clarity and control. By aligning with international best practice, you future-proof your information assets, strengthen governance frameworks, and enhance decision-making across the enterprise.
