Ensure your organisation’s records management framework meets global best practice with this comprehensive self-assessment tool, aligned to the ISO 16175 standard. Designed for information governance professionals, compliance leads, and IT strategists, this programme delivers actionable insights into the design and governance of secure, compliant storage locations across hybrid environments.
Explore critical aspects of ISO 16175 in practical, business-focused modules that drive real operational outcomes:
- Understand the ISO 16175 framework—analyse its three-part structure (principles, functional requirements, design guidelines) and align storage architecture with organisational and regulatory objectives.
- Assess compliance gaps in current enterprise content management (ECM) systems and refine storage location configurations to meet mandatory and recommended standards.
- Evaluate jurisdictional data sovereignty requirements and ensure storage locations adhere to legal and geographic constraints.
- Compare on-premises and cloud storage models, weighing capital versus operational costs, data egress fees, latency, and retrieval performance across storage tiers (hot, cool, archive).
- Mitigate vendor lock-in risks by assessing proprietary formats and APIs in long-term digital preservation strategies.
- Strengthen audit readiness by defining accountability roles, access logging protocols, and chain-of-custody controls across hybrid systems.
- Optimise disaster recovery planning through realistic modelling of recovery time (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO) under cloud service-level agreements.
- Embed metadata integrity into storage schemas to preserve authenticity, reliability, and usability of records over time.
Ideal for organisations navigating digital transformation, regulatory audits, or cloud migration, this assessment equips teams with the tools to make informed, defensible decisions about information storage and governance.
