Information Management Standard

The Information Management Standard expands on the principles in the Information Management Strategy by outlining the behaviours expected of agencies in managing government information to achieve their own business objectives and to meet legislative and policy obligations.

The principles with the most relevance to Storage are:

• Principle 2: Information assets are created and managed appropriate to risk
• Principle 4: Information assets can be relied upon
• Principle 5: Information assets are available as required

Managing Digital Records in Systems Standard

Agencies must use the Managing Digital Records in Systems Standard to ensure that all business systems and information management systems maintain the integrity and reliability of the digital information stored in them.

Minimum Recordkeeping Metadata Requirements Standard

Agencies must use the Minimum Recordkeeping Metadata Requirements Standard to ensure they are creating and managing metadata appropriate to the business activity that is occurring in their systems.

Management and Storage of Information Assets Standard

Agencies must use the Management and Storage of Temporary Value Information Assets Standard to ensure information assets of temporary value managed and stored by services providers are secure, kept in good condition and accessible for as long as required.

This Standard is to be used in conjunction with the Deed of Agreement for State Records Storage Approved Service Providers List (the Deed).  The Deed establishes a list of Approved Service Providers (ASPs) which agencies can engage with for storage, retrieval and destruction services for temporary value records.  For more information on the Deed contract State Records.
