HI Patrick, My understanding is that you would not need a third party. However, perhaps your UK operation do a study based upon PD0009: 1999, the compliance workbook for PD0008? Regards, Reynold. > I'm in the midst of a bit of an internal squabble in our firm. Our company is a US-based consultancy and benefits outsourcing firm with fairly extensive operations in the UK. We make considerable use of imaging technology and are trying to expand the use of our existing imaging platforms with offices recently acquired. These recently acquired offices feel that in-house imaging is not permissible under BSi PD0008:1999 and feel that it is essential to utilize a third party contractor who also maintains images in escrow. I can't see where they draw this conclusion from. I've read and re-read the standard and feel that our existing imaging system fully meets the standard. Has anyone out there fought this battle?
