Information Handling Requirements
Organizations handle large amounts of information and should have policies and procedures in place that detail how information is to be stored. You can think of policies as high-level documents and procedures as step-by-step instructions. Many organizations are in industries that are subject to regulatory standards that detail how and how long information must be retained.
One key concern with storage is to ensure that media is appropriately labeled. Media should be labeled so that the data librarian or individual in charge of media management can identify the media owner, when the content was created, the classification level, and when the content is to be destroyed. Figure 2.3 shows an example of appropriate media labeling.
