January & February: Start the Year with an Easy Win!
The beginning of a new year represents the perfect time to purge stored business records. This practice not only ensures compliance with regulatory standards but also saves money and promotes operational efficiency and security.
Why January & February is Ideal for Record Purges
1. Retention requirements are annual: Business records are stored to meet regulatory retention requirements to retain them for a specific number of years. Linking records purges to the new year provides the most manageable way to identify and batch the unneeded records that can be legally destroyed.
2. It avoids the suspicious destruction of records: Purging old record at the beginning of the year is the best strategy for avoiding erratic destruction events that can raise the suspicions of regulators.
3. It eliminates unnecessary storage expense: Keeping records longer than is necessary results in unnecessary expense. It’s a time to clear out outdated files and make room for current and future documentation.
4. It reduces liability: Retaining unneeded business records increases the likelihood of unauthorized access. By securely destroying them, that risk and the potential for breach notification costs and government fines is dramatically lower.
5. It complies with new regulations: New state regulations now make it illegal to keep personal information for longer than needed.
