Privacy Records and Information Management Evaluations

Recent years have brought various high stakes privacy laws into focus, both domestically in the U.S. and internationally. The implications are broad, across many jurisdictions, and organizations are particularly focused on the European Union’s European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA), as well as the more recent California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Readying your organization for compliance with these laws is a significant undertaking that requires substantial time and resources. We can perform a program evaluation, help you create a proactive plan to help determine which of your organization’s activities impact the data subject to these regulations, and assist with a variety of other privacy-related initiatives.

Data Mapping

You can’t protect personal data if you don’t know where it is. We can conduct a survey of all data that resides on your systems. This will allow you to determine which data needs protection and where that data is located.

Retention Schedule Simplification

Retention schedules are the linchpin of a sound and legally defensible records management program. Each retention schedule must be designed to provide robust coverage of business operations while keeping simplicity in mind. This serves two purposes: to encourage adoption and to foster a culture of adherence within the organization. We can conduct interviews with key stakeholders to identify records and merge multiple retention schedules into one functional and process-oriented retention schedule.

Legal Research Services

Identify Legal Retention Requirements

A myriad of laws and regulations make identifying legal retention requirements a daunting task. Our analysts have researched 147 countries, identifying 149,000+ domestic and international legal retention, handling, and formatting requirements, and we’re always updating our database of citations.

The records management program that Zasio built for us has enabled our company to pass numerous records management audits with no corrective actions required. Additionally, our company mindset is now to retain records according to our policies and not to just keep everything forever. We are all in a much better place when it comes to records management.

Highmark Inc.

As a public utility, our company is required to conform to local, state, and federal laws, as well as Utility Commissions requirements in several states. Zasio’s extensive experience and exhaustive research helped us to more clearly and simply define our retention requirements, as well as ensure a more defensible and accurate policy. Additionally, their reputation in the industry enabled our company to comfortably outsource the responsibility of the research and updates, therefore reducing resources required in-house to maintain the complicated research to update the schedule.

Words are truly insufficient in describing Zasio’s expertise, consulting ability, and patience. I have had an extensive professional life and collaborated with many consultants. Never has my experience been so illuminating, enjoyable, and overall, rich. We consider this our first phase of a records retention schedule, and once all that we need to do with it is completed, my desire is to push the institution to continue with it through the remaining departments. It is my hope that we will continue with the remaining phases, and continue the partnership with Zasio.
