Records management is the discipline of overseeing the creation, storage, retrieval, retention, and disposal of an organization's records throughout their lifecycle, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Records managers and information governance professionals implement policies and systems (such as document management software) to maintain accessibility, security, and proper archiving or destruction of records. It's critical in industries like healthcare, law, and government where recordkeeping obligations are heavily regulated.
