IG REFERENCE MODEL ➢ Who?
➢ ARMA International & CGOC
➢ When?
➢ 2012
➢ Where?
➢ As part of the EDRM Project Version 3.0
➢ Why?
➢ To foster the adoption by facilitating
communication and collaboration between
IG stakeholder functions, legal, records
management, risk management, and business
unit stakeholders.

HOW TO INTERPRET THE IGRM DIAGRAM Outer Ring: Complex set of interoperable processes and implementing he procedures and structural element to put them into practice
➢ Requirements:
➢ Understanding of business imperatives
➢ Knowledge of appropriate tools and infrastructure
➢ Sensitivity to legal and regulatory obligations
Inner Ring: Depicts a work-flow (life-cycle) diagram. Shows that information management is important at all stages of the lifecycle

How the IGRM Diagram related to the
Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles®
➢ Support the ARMA Principle by identifying the cross-functional groups of IG
stakeholders
➢ Depicts the intersecting objectives of the organization
➢ Depicts the relationship duty, value and information assets
➢ Used by proactive organizations as an introspective lens to facilitate visualization,
understanding and discussion concerning how to apple the “Principles” to the
organization.
➢ Puts focus on the “Principles”
➢ Provides essential context for the maturity model
6
Considerations in IG Policy Formation
➢ Best Practices?
➢ YES!
➢ Understand that Best
Practices will vary per
organization
➢ Review 25 generic Best
Practices, Pages 75 and 76
of text book
7
➢ Standards?
➢ YES!
➢ Two types to consider
➢ De Jure Standards - Legal standards published by
standards setting bodies such as IOS, ANSI, NIST, BTS and
others
➢ De Facto Standards – Informal standards regarded by
many as actual standards – arising through popular use
(Example: Windows in the business world in 2001-2010).
May be published by formal standards setting bodies
without having “Formal” status
Benefits and Risks of Standards
Benefits
➢ Quality Assurance Support
➢ Interoperability Support
➢ Implementation Framework and
Certification Checklists
➢ Cost Reduction
➢ International Consensus
8
Risks ➢ Possible Decreased Flexibility
➢ Standards Confusion
➢ Real-World Shortcomings to due Theoretical
Basis
➢ Cost and Maintenance Involving in Updating
Standard
KEY STANDARDS RELEVANT TO IG
Risk Management
➢ ISO 31000-2009 – States principles and generic guidelines of risk management
applicable to IG
➢ Provides a structured framework for development and implementation of risk
management strategies and programs
➢ “Risk Management Framework”: Set of two basic components (foundations
and organizational arrangements) that support and sustain risk management
throughout the organization.

Canadian Standards
➢ Electronic Records as Documentary Evidence CAN/CGSB-72.34-2005
➢ Microfilm and Electronic Images as Documentary Evidence CAN/DGSB-72.11-93

NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL AND REGIONAL ERM STANDARDS…CONTINUED
United Kingdom
➢ The National Archives
➢ To sets of functions requirements to promote the development of the electronic records management software market (one in 1999 and one in 2002)
➢ Model Requirements of Electronic Records
➢ MoReq2
➢ MoReq2010

LONG-TERM DIGITAL PRESERVATION ➢ Referred to as “LTDP”
➢ LTDP is a key area for IG policy
development
➢ Frequently not addressed in an IG plan
➢ Should be applied in preserving
historical and “vital records” and in
order to maintain its corporate or
organizational memory
➢ Key Standards for LTDP:
➢ PDF/A-2 –official standard format for preserving electronic documents, developed by Adobe.
➢ ISO 19005-1:2005 Document Management is the published specification requiring PDF format
➢ ISO 14721:2012 – Space Data and Information Transfer Systems –Open Archival Information Systems
➢ ISO TR 18492(2005) – Long Term Preservation of Electronic Document Based Information
➢ ISO 16363:2012 – Space Data and Information Transfer Systems-Audit and Certification of Trustworthy Digital Repositories
14
BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT
➢ ISO 22301:2012 – Societal Security –
Business Continuity Management Systems
Requirements
➢ Specifies requirements for creating and
implementing a standardized approach to
business continuity management ----- this is
also known as Disaster Recovery
Benefits of ISO 22301
➢ Threat Identification and Assessment
➢ Threat and Recovery Planning
➢ Mission-critical process protection
➢ Stakeholder Confidence

THINGS TO REMEMBER IN DEVELOPING THE IG
POLICY
Take into account organizational goals
Draw clear lines of authority
Make sure you have an executive sponsor who can garner executive support for the IG program and policies
IG program must contain communications and training component
Stakeholders must be made aware of new policies and practices
Make sure you have metrics that are relevant and useful and can actually be measured
Test and audit
Give feedback to employees based upon metrics, tests and audit results
Establish and enforce clear penalties for policy violations and communicate that to employees
Take into account organizational culture
