Episode 32: A Discussion on Federal Directive M-19-21
Description:
Directive M-19-21 is driving Federal agencies to digitize their processes and recordkeeping and shut down their records storage facilities. While this is an enormous task, the bigger question is: where will all of this digitized data go? Just like paper records, all of the electronic records must be archived, secured, indexed, and managed per federal records management requirements. In this episode we address the issues Federal agencies need to think about that will help them successfully plan for and deal with the avalanche of electronic records.

Currently there are projected to be 15 to 20 new states with their own privacy laws by 2024 that all have different definitions, different exclusions, different rights, etc. How does an organization track these differences and maintain a high level of coherence.
