Elevate your organisation’s information governance with our comprehensive self-assessment programme in ISO 16175, designed for professionals leading records management, compliance, and digital transformation initiatives. This structured curriculum delivers actionable insights that align with international best practice, helping you build a robust, defensible, and future-ready records framework.
Through two targeted modules, you’ll gain the tools to assess current capabilities, identify strategic opportunities, and position ISO 16175 as a catalyst for improved efficiency and risk reduction.
- Module 1: Strategic Foundations of ISO 16175
Examine the business drivers behind adopting ISO 16175, from meeting regulatory obligations to reducing litigation exposure and supporting digital transformation. Conduct a maturity analysis of your current records practices against Part 1 (Principles) and benchmark against related standards such as ISO 15489 and ISO 27001. Learn to quantify compliance risks under data protection laws, including GDPR and FOIA, and define measurable outcomes—such as faster retrieval times, fewer audit findings, and lower storage costs. - Module 2: Governance and Accountability
Design a fit-for-purpose governance structure with clearly defined roles for records officers, data stewards, and IT custodians. Establish decision rights for classification, retention, and disposition, and implement accountability through audit trails, delegation protocols, and approval workflows. Integrate records governance into enterprise risk reporting and board-level oversight, and develop clear escalation paths for legal holds and disputes. You’ll also explore responsibilities across hybrid environments—including cloud platforms and third-party vendors—and build policies for secure cross-border data transfers.
Ideal for compliance leads, information managers, and senior advisors, this self-assessment programme empowers you to drive alignment, demonstrate value, and future-proof your records management strategy.
