Effective records management isn’t about keeping everything. It’s about retaining what’s required, defensibly disposing of the rest, and proving compliance when it matters.

Once communications are captured and retention decisions are made, a different set of questions begins.

More than US$2 billion in enforcement actions have hit the books recently, all tied to off-channel communications. At first glance, these cases seem to be about employees using personal messaging apps, but that’s not really the story.
