In ISO 15489-1:2016, the International Organization for Standardization defines a "record" as "information created, received, and maintained as evidence and as an asset by an organization or person, in pursuit of legal obligations or in the transaction of business." ISO defines records management as the " field of management responsible for the efficient and systematic control of the creation, receipt, maintenance, use and disposition of records, including the processes for capturing and maintaining evidence of and information about business activities and transactions in the form of records." Basically, records include everything from billing info to contracts, to client reviews and internal audits, and records management is making sure those records is securely and efficiently accessed, distributed, and used.

The Life Cycle of a Record

The life cycle of a record from creation to destruction was developed by the United States National Archives in the 1930s, largely by Emmett J. Leahy, who was a pioneer in the discipline of records management. A record goes through four stages:

1. Creation or Receipt — This can be an email sent or received internally or externally, the creation of any MS office or Google Drive documents such as spreadsheets, word docs, or presentations, the onboarding of a new project or any other information created for use in your company. The format the record is in must be accurate and dependable. This is the stage where records become active.
2. Distribution and Use — You can distribute information within teams, across teams, or to clients or other external parties. The distribution can be company wide or between only two or three people. The record must be kept in a place that is easy to access for those who need to use it, and secure against those who should not see it. Records retention, the methods and practices an organization uses to decide what should be stored, for how long, and in what storage system, is critical to effectively distributing and using the documents.
3. Storage and Maintenance — Some records only need to be kept for a few days or even hours, while others must be kept for years or even decades for your own records or regulatory compliance. If your organization do not require regular access to the records, it's best to keep them securely offline so as not to burden your records management system.
4. Disposition — When a record has exceeded its usefulness and is no longer required for any legal or administrative purposes, you will either have to permanently archive it or destroy it completely. If you decide to keep them, the records can be held offsite or offline for future research. If destroyed, paper can be shredded and digit documents can be permanently deleted.

All of these stages are connected, so it's important that your organization has clearly understood policies and standards, as well as a clear view of the responsibilities and authorizations of various people or teams.
