What is the main denominator in federal Records Management, FOIA and Privacy? … Yes, you got it right!

Records!

At the very core of records management, FOIA and privacy is RECORDS.

• Records Management- organizes and manages records
• FOIA- provides access to those records
• Privacy- safeguards and protects the personal information within those records.

The marriage between all three functions is the most beautiful union in the federal government. (At least in my opinion )

If used in the correct way, not only will this union ensure that information is governed properly and accurately, but this will also ensure that the public will be served in the most authentic way, which will ultimately build and maintain public trust!
