ISO 30301:2019 Management System for Records
ISO 30301:2019
ISO 30301:2019 specifies requirements for a Management System for Records (MSR). It enables organizations to create, capture, manage, and preserve authentic, reliable, and usable business records to support corporate governance, legal compliance, and operational transparency.
Whether managing digital documents, physical archives, or confidential customer databases, ISO 30301 ensures data integrity and secure retention.
Records are essential business assets and legal evidence. Ineffective records management risks data loss, legal non-compliance, privacy breaches, and inefficient information retrieval.
