How is NARA-compliant records storage beneficial?

NARA storage is beneficial for permanent pre-accessioned records that have a short retention period before transition. NARA storage also supports specialized situations where unique NARA records analysis services are required.

Why would I want to store records onsite?
Records and information are the lifeblood of any agency. Managing and protecting these valuable assets is mission-critical. Onsite storage offers absolute, strict control over the use and access of specific sets of records. This addresses situations when records are legally required to stay on agency grounds or needed on a frequent basis by specific agency staff at particular locations.
When should I consider using a third-party vendor for storage services?
Partnering with a third-party storage vendor offers localized storage options when specific geographies are needed. They also provide custom service levels for specialized vital records collections, in addition to support for temporary records with legally mandated retention periods and lower activity levels.
How does digitization support my transition from legacy physical records processes to electronic workflows?
Digital transformation enables automation and data analytics through digital conversation and metadata capture. This means easier and quicker access to records that need to be made accessible to citizens, employees, or other agencies.
Why is proper disposition important to the M-23-07 process?
Disposition ensures that your data is defensibly disposed of and in compliance with your current retention schedule. It also eliminates storage needs for previously digitized physical records.
How are Iron Mountain’s storage facilities different?
Our 13 federal records storage facilities meet NARA’s stringent standards, 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1234. All of our facilities are designed by a dedicated real estate and engineering team, with expert guidance from federal compliance officers, NARA, and security professionals.We adhere to the strictest government security requirements, conducting rigorous background checks, employee screenings, and formalized training to ensure that the highest standards of security are met and maintained.
