Responsible document management

Description

Document management is a central component of personal information protection and compliance with Law 25. Every day, employees create, access, share, and retain documents that may contain sensitive information, often without fully recognizing the associated risks.

Clear, practical, and actionable guidelines are provided to support proper document management throughout the entire document lifecycle—from creation to secure disposal.
Emphasis is placed on daily best practices, individual accountability, and the reduction of organizational risks related to poor information management.
