Website & Social Media Archiving
The leading solution for archiving, managing, retaining and replaying dynamic web content for Government Agencies.
Social media is a growing concern as agencies strive to keep pace with an increasingly social, real-time online community. 22 out of 24 governments now maintain an active presence on a social network. Who is keeping track of all this digital data and is it being properly preserved?
Freedom of Information (FOI) and open records laws vary by state, but many require governments to produce records upon request regardless of physical form. Agencies must be prepared to produce electronic information that appeared on their website on a previous date. As governments increase the amount of their online content, it’s critical that they implement appropriate retention practices.
Governments are held accountable for the information published on their websites and yes, even on their social media accounts. Changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) demand that agencies provide for the capture, storage, and retrieval of digital records that might be required in a judicial or regulatory situation. Additionally, the Federal Rules of Evidence have specific requirements for proving the authenticity of digital evidence in court. Are you in compliance?
How will your agency handle an audit, lawsuit, or FOI request? Will your IT department be left scrambling to produce the required content through time-consuming, outdated, and expensive processes? Or will you be confident that your records management plan provides for quick, complete retrieval of all relevant web pages?
