Developing strict internal controls—like requiring two-person authorizations for the destruction of highly sensitive data—provides reasonable assurance that your RIM policies are actually being followed.
Deploying these controls separates the personnel who authorize a transaction from those who process it, dramatically reducing the risk of accidental or malicious data loss.
- Do your current deletion workflows require a secondary approval before permanent destruction occurs?
- Where is the highest risk of single-user error in your current records lifecycle?
Action Item: Map out one critical RIM workflow and insert a mandatory secondary approval step.
