Data and Record Retention - Risk Mitigation Guide

Independent schools are stewards of sensitive, high-volume data: student records, employee files, financial documents, and more. This comprehensive guide, created in partnership with NAIS, helps technology leaders implement a clear, compliant, and defensible data and record retention policy. Covering everything from legal frameworks and digital deletion practices to vendor vetting, tabletop exercises, and disaster recovery planning, the guide empowers schools to reduce risk, streamline operations, and ensure continuity. Whether you're building a new policy or updating an existing one, this resource provides practical tools and templates to help your school manage data responsibly and proactively.
