General Risk Assessment
Records risk assessment is the process of evaluating the existing
or potential risks to official records and information. The baseline
assessment involves the following:
- Conducting physical site surveys of any or all storage sites to determine existing security and controls.
- Evaluating existing security and control measures to identify threats to official records.
- Identifying the natural and other community-wide disasters to which the agency is susceptible.
- Identifying vulnerability to acts of deliberate destructiveness, building failure, equipment failure, and human error or carelessness.
