When your information is in a safe place, so are you.
For example, your storage space needs to be cost-effective. Security must be of the highest level. Records need to be accessed quickly for optimum efficiency in both paper and digital formats. While compliance is a bigger issue than ever, with the Information Commissioner’s Office raising the maximum fine for breaching the Data Protection Act to £500,000.
What’s needed is records management expertise – something organisations don’t always have.
As one of the world’s leading providers of outsourced information management, Iron Mountain has the expertise to provide the services you need to maximise your data assets while improving security. Whether it’s secure storage, document scanning, fast access or scheduled destruction, we’re here at every stage.

From indexing your information to providing secure, accessible storage and scanning, we’ll help you develop a customised programme that fits seamlessly into your day-to-day operations and adds ongoing value.
The first step is helping you build a unique information storage programme that works for you.
We’ll help you identify what types of records you have and how you want to use them.
We’ll help you create a schedule for when records can be destroyed, and put together a records management solution that is cost-effective and helps you address your compliance needs.
We offer a range of storage options to suit all your needs.
Closed-box storage is ideal for documents you are required to keep but don’t access on a regular basis.
Open-shelf storage comes into its own for documents that you access regularly, such as employee or medical records.
You can also opt for batch scanning – ideal when you need inexpensive and regular access to a particular catalogue of documents, or when multiple users need access to the same documents.
We offer various retrieval options.
If a document is already scanned you can access it through our easy-to-use online portal. Alternatively you can request scanning on demand and we’ll make it available the same day or the next day. Digital documents are faster to view, easier to share and reduce your carbon footprint.
Or of course, we can deliver the original documents to you via our own high security vehicles. Either way, you’ll have exactly what you need when you need it.
Making the move to Iron Mountain is easier than you might think.
Experts will operate as partners within your organisation. We can help you define your new information management policy and support you through its implementation. This way, challenges can be easily identified and addressed.
You’ll hardly know we’re around. But you’ll certainly notice the difference afterwards.
From pickup to storage every item is checked, rechecked and checked again, keeping the chain of custody as secure as possible. When your item comes back to us, the whole process is repeated exactly. And securely.
