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.
