Records management is essential for maintaining accurate information, meeting retention duties, protecting privacy, and supporting organizational accountability. Poor recordkeeping can create compliance gaps, security risks, audit challenges, legal exposure, and difficulty retrieving reliable information when needed.
The Records Management and Data Retention course covers records lifecycle management, information governance, Canadian regulatory frameworks, retention schedules, privacy compliance, secure disposal, digital records, cybersecurity, legal holds, e-discovery, and sector-specific recordkeeping requirements.
Learners will understand how records are created, classified, stored, protected, retained, archived, and disposed of within a controlled governance framework. Certification is provided upon successful completion of the course.
