They are only five percent of your total records population, but vital records and how you store them can have a much bigger impact on your organisation than their scant numbers suggest.

What is a Vital Record?

Vital records are fundamental to an organisation’s ability to function. Certain vital records contain information critical to the continued operation or survival of an organisation during or immediately following a crisis. These records are necessary to continue operations without delay under abnormal conditions. They contain information necessary to recreate an organisation’s legal and financial status and preserve the rights and obligations of stakeholders, including employees, customers, stakeholders and citizens.

Some vital records may be unique and difficult or prohibitively expensive to reproduce. However, they may be required in their original form to meet or fulfil evidential requirements.
