FREE Records Management Assessment

 

 

Discover how effective records management can save your organization time, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with critical regulations. InfoPreserve’s Free Records Management Assessment is a thorough, step-by-step evaluation designed to identify inefficiencies, risks, and opportunities in your current records processes. Our expert team will provide tailored recommendations to streamline your document management practices, reduce compliance risks, and enhance operational efficiency.

 

Our audits are not a command that you “go paperless” but rather an introduction to a smarter, more effective method to organize your business documents.

Why Should You Get a Free Records Assessment?

 

  1. Stay Ahead of Regulatory Compliance Requirements
    Regulations like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), SEC/FINRA, HIPAA, employment eligibility verification, and various tax codes mandate that businesses retain and secure records for specific periods. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, loss of funding, or legal challenges. For example:
    • SOX requires companies to store audit and financial records for at least 7 years to avoid fines reaching millions of dollars.
    • SEC/FINRA regulations require Financial Advisors to keep all client communications.
    • HIPAA mandates strict protections for health information, with non-compliance exposing businesses to hefty penalties.
  2. Reduce Waste and Minimize Errors
    Misplaced or poorly managed records lead to duplicated efforts, costly errors, and wasted time. Research shows that employees spend up to 20% of their day searching for documents, decreasing productivity and increasing frustration.
  3. Be Prepared for Internal and External Audits
    Whether you’re undergoing a routine audit or responding to regulatory demands, disorganized records can cause delays and credibility issues. Failure to pass government audits can result in heavy fines.  A centralized, secure, and easily searchable records system ensures your organization is always audit-ready.
  4. Future-Proof Your Organization
    As your business grows, your records management needs will become more complex. A solid foundation today can save you from costly overhauls later.
