Industry regulators and government bodies are encouraging and prescribing legislative rules governing record management and retention, including:
- FRCP
- Basel 1
- SOX
- HIPAA
- PCI
- MiFID
A recent independent survey carried out by e-Media on the ‘Inhibitors to determining an archive policy’ showed 14% of IT Managers were ‘uncertain about legislation’ whilst 10% ‘faced unclear guidelines from the business’.
