 Employee threats – both accidental and intentional

 More far reaching impact of negative employee conduct

Not all social media posts are “records”.

All social media posts are electronically stored information

Social media posts are ALL discoverable

Must have legally defensible records

retention policy in place

Must store metadata, hyperlinks, and the external content – in its native form

Preserve post, metadata, hyperlink and external native data in real time

Use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to capture the contents in real time

Static (example, Facebook Profile) and Dynamic social media content (example, Facebook “like”– Capture dynamic in real time

All social media posts that meets record status should be moved to a repository in an electronic records management system application

Rules for Electronic Records

Apply access and security controls to the record

Execute disposal processing (an administrative function)

Maintain organizational/historical metadata

Provide a history/audit trail

RECORD RETENTION GUIDELINES FOR SOCIAL MEDIA RECORDS

Make Record Threashold determination- Look at content. Is it a record by your own organizational definition of a record?

Apply existing Records Retention Schedules if they apply-inIf you already have a records retention schedule for similar records (example, e-mail) apply the same schedule unless there is a legal reason not to.

Apply basic content management principles-focus on capturing all related content for the post including associated conversation threads and metadata for context and for legal discovery

Risk avoidance in content creation – Emphasize to employees that if they put it out there it may be discoverable, and at the end of its life it is nearly impossible to completely destroy all evidence of it.

BEST PRACTICES FOR MANAGING SOCIAL MEDIA RECORDS

Identify social media records during the social media planning stage – If someone in the organization is proposing a new initiative complete forms to indicate if new records are created

Promote cross-functional communications – Include representatives from different

functional areas

Require consultation in policy development – Get feedback from stakeholders

Establish clear rules and responsibilities-make sure everyone knows the expectations, what is expected of each user, their responsibilities and establish who is accountable to whom

Utilize content management principles-management of content should be a part of the ECM software implementation

Implement RM Functionality-make sure ECM or RM software includes a function to enable records retention, disposition, legal holds and release of legal holds

BEST PRACTICES FOR MANAGING SOCIAL MEDIA

RECORDS…continued

Control the content- have a monitoring mechanism in place to manage content before it gets published to the Web

Capture Content in real time-can more easily prove it is authentic from a legal perspective

Champion search capabilities-The technology that captures and preserves the content and metadata must have the capability to search

Train!!!!- You must train users and make sure they are aware of the implications of social medial posting

The End
