Digital documents and records have become critical organisational assets supporting operations, decision-making, regulatory compliance, institutional accountability, and knowledge continuity. As organisations increasingly rely on electronic document management systems, cloud environments, digital repositories, and collaborative platforms, they face growing exposure to information loss, unauthorised access, system outages, data corruption, cyber incidents, and operational disruption.
This course provides a structured and practical approach to managing risks within digital documentation environments. It covers the identification of critical information assets, assessment of threats and vulnerabilities, evaluation of business impact, selection of appropriate controls, and development of continuity and recovery arrangements.
The programme integrates records and information management with governance, risk management, and business continuity, enabling participants to establish resilient digital documentation environments that protect organisational information and ensure continued access to critical records during normal operations, incidents, and disruptions..
