County Clerks, Records Retention
As the City or County Clerk, you are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping, retention and disposition of public records. Though Clerk responsibilities may vary by jurisdiction, the Clerk’s ultimate responsibility is to ensure the long-term retention and protection of this data.
The Clerk must ensure the safekeeping of records such as those related to the criminal justice system, elections, real estate and property tax records, birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, passport applications, and other documents.
This data must be collected and archived in a secure manner which will guarantee:
- Records CANNOT be altered once written (True WORM), always maintaining their original authenticity
- Records CANNOT be ransomed (encrypted) by any malicious cyber attack
- Records CANNOT be deleted or destroyed by a virus, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) or maliciously.
- Records MUST be retained and fully accessible for decades at a minimum, not just a few short years
- Records MUST be easily accessible for those authorized
- Records MUST be confidently stored and protected against disasters, no matter the kind
