> Subject: Data Retention Audit case study
>
>
> As part of our research at UMIST, we have developed a framework that
> manages the retention of personal information in databases. We are
> looking for test cases to apply this work by performing a data
retention
> audit in a real case.
>
> The overall aim of the retention audit is to apply the organisational
> retention policies to database objects through the use of the
developed
> framework. This exercise not only addresses the issues of data
> protection compliance but also data/information management.
>
> The retention audit is geared towards database systems only. It is not
> an audit of the records you hold e.g. records inventory. Its main aim
is
> the mapping of the retention actions specified in the organisational
> retention schedule to database records. The retention audit can be
> broken down into three broad steps. Analysis of the organisational
> retention schedule, analysis of the proprietary database systems and
> mapping of retention schedules to database records.
>
> The people who will need to be involved are the data protection
officer
> and the IT Officer/Database Administrator.
>
> The result of the audit will be a presentation of the audit results
> complete with recommendations on how to deal with retention in
> databases. The presentation will also include a workshop showing how
the
> methodology has been applied.
>
> If you are interested to discuss the possibility to participate in
this
> case study, please get in touch. I would be happy to discuss it
further.
