You're responsible for implementing controls and policies to ensure your organization is complying with laws and regulations.
You’re responsible for implementing controls and policies to ensure your organization is complying with laws and regulations. This includes interpreting laws and identifying compliance requirements for managing information, such as retention rules and privacy obligations, so you can properly protect and legally dispose of information when it’s no longer required. That’s challenging when the regulatory environment is constantly changing due to existing and new regulations, such as the evolving global privacy regimes.

Our Advisory Services team with deep information governance (IG) expertise will guide you through the process of creating or revamping your information management policies for records retention and data privacy as part of the IG Program Development service. You’ll receive expert guidance on how to optimize your privacy policy and records classification scheme based on best practices, the level of granularity you need, and your risk appetite. You’ll work together to define your subscription to legal research on updates to retention and privacy requirements based on where you operate and the types of law required to support your retention and privacy policies. You can also receive support in mapping your business processes that contain personal data.
You'll be able to keep your records retention and data privacy policy management connected, current and compliant through the cloud-based Policy Center portal. As laws change, you can count on high quality research from our international network of law firms to know how changes impact your organization so you can update your policies accordingly. Available as a subscription service, you'll receive a feed of fully cited and summarized legal citations with a simple explanation of the requirements to empower your decisions on retention rules and privacy obligations that make sense for your organization. With filters you can easily view which record classes and types in your retention schedule are affected by privacy law.
To show compliance, you'll have tools to document critical information about your business processes that contain personal data, enabling compliance with the GDPR Article 30 requirements. You'll be able to create visual maps to centrally see where personal data lives, who owns it, what process it's a part of and what are your retention rules and privacy obligations for it. In your maps you can show the movement of personal data within and outside of your organization so you can quickly identify where personal information is located to help your company respond to time-sensitive issues, such as data breaches, subject access requests, data erasure requests, audits and litigation.
Employees in your organization can easily access the latest version of your retention schedule and privacy policies online, using custom views and advanced search to filter to only the retention rules and privacy obligations that apply to them. You also have the option to connect policy to your content infrastructure through an open application programming interface (API).
To help assess your information management policies, procedures and platforms and readiness to comply with the regulations that govern you, our Advisory Services team can provide you an in depth assessment and roadmap to help you achieve your goals through the IG Assessment service.
With up-to-date and connected retention and privacy policies, you’re in a good position to clean up your legacy content through our Content Classification service, leveraging our proprietary classification rules database that systematically calculates destruction eligibility according to your retention schedule.
Policy Center is an available integration capability with Iron Mountain InSight®, our information management and content services platform solution that provides you with a centralized view of your information, allowing secure access and retrieval for your employees in a single cloud repository for enhanced visibility and access. This integration gives you the ability to access updated retention rules and apply them systematically to relevant documents.
When your information has met your organization’s requirements of retention, our Shredding service and Secure e-Waste and IT Asset Disposition service will enable you to destroy it, confident that you are complying with regulations governing information destruction. For information you’ll be retaining, you can use our Secure Storage Services to secure and protect your valuable information.
