Fatigue in long-running clean-up efforts
Legacy clean-up rarely ends; it just changes shape. Sustained effort without visible milestones can drain motivation. RIM professionals often carry this fatigue quietly. Recognising it is part of sustaining practice. Questions 1. Which clean-up effort feels never-ending? 2. What helps you stay engaged? Action - Pause one non-urgent task this weekend without guilt.

In records and information management, legacy backlogs are often treated as technical problems, yet they are largely institutional symptoms. They reflect past governance decisions, resource constraints, and shifting accountability rather than individual failure. When organizations frame clean-up as a one-off exercise instead of a continuous governance function, the burden falls disproportionately on RIM professionals. Over time, this creates invisible pressure to “hold the line” without the authority to redesign the system that generates the problem

Records Management as a pillar of Cybersecurity
To what extent should records management be treated as a core component of an organization’s cybersecurity strategy, rather than a support function, and how can this integration be practically achieved without duplicating controls or increasing operational complexity? Poorly managed records create vulnerabilities, including unauthorized access, data breaches, and loss of evidential integrity which increases the risk of cyber security

Records and Business Continuity
Business continuity relies on access to reliable records during disruptions, incidents, or system outages. Poorly managed records increase recovery time and operational risk. Identifying and protecting vital records is a core information governance responsibility. Reflection questions: - Are vital records clearly identified and protected? - Are backups and recovery processes tested? Action:Identify one vital record category critical to business continuity.

In the context of EDRMS, vital records should be identified during capture process and metadata clearly captured,, this would help in adding extra protection strategies and back up for such mission critical records

Creating an effective classification scheme.
Classification schemes organise records according to business functions rather than technologies. A good scheme reflects how the organisation works and evolves over time. Poor classification leads to misfiling and lost information. 1. Does your classification scheme match current business activities? 2. Is it intuitive for users? Action: Review one classification category for relevance and clarity.

This is correctly put... classification especially in 3 tier should reflect function, activities and transactions... as opossed to departmental classification .. This is the best practice

Risk is the real language of RIM
Records management risk rarely appears suddenly. It builds quietly through poor visibility, inconsistent disposal, and unclear ownership. Understanding where risk concentrates helps prioritise effort and justify decisions. Reflection questions: - Where does unmanaged information pose the biggest risk? - Which risks are least visible but most serious? Action: List one information risk you should address this quarter.

ISO 27001 addresses risks related to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of records and information, including unauthorized access, loss, and breaches which must be mitigated
