Legislative Compliance

There is a myriad of industry regulations and government legislation affecting my company. How can I stay up to date and ensure my company is compliant?

Government and the courts continually enact legislation and create laws that effect your company. With acts such as Sarbanes-Oxley and Gramm-Leach-Bliley, there is an increased need for organizations to demonstrate due diligence and ensure the accuracy and security of the information held in their records.

TAB can help
TAB’s Certified Records Managers (CRM) can implement a records management program to help your organization enhance responsiveness, demonstrate due diligence, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. We will help you set up the right policies and procedures, train your employees, and implement a monitoring system to ensure program compliance.

Analyse, Classify, Retain
TAB starts by assessing business functions and processes with your key stakeholders. We then develop a classification scheme to better organize your information taking relevant laws into account. The classification is the structure that identifies your corporate records holdings and works as a “sign post,” to clearly identify information and facilitate hardcopy and electronic filing, retrieval and archiving.

A proper classification scheme will ensure that your records are compliant with industry and legislative regulations, including privacy legislation. Once classification is complete TAB develops a plan including a retention strategy will help you identify the records that need to be kept, how they should be stored, and when you can legally dispose of them.

Manage your risk
TAB ensures that your records management practices are compliant with all industry-specific regulations and legislation. We develop comprehensive programs outlining everything from duplication and dispersal requirements, through storage and access restrictions to the eventual destruction of records no longer deemed vital as outlined by a retention schedule.
