Evidential Weight And Legal Admissibility Of Electronic Information: Compliance Workbook For Use With BS 10008

Description

This workbook will assist in the evaluation of an information management system for compliance with BS 10008.

It is written to help businesses compile an historical audit trail of compliance.

When completed the workbook should be stored on the information management system under the same conditions as other information stored on the system.

The fourth edition of the compliance workbook, Evidential weight and legal admissibility of electronic information for Use with BS 10008 has been published alongside the fourth edition of the Codes of Practice (CoP) Parts 1 - 3 and the British standard BS 10008. The workbook is written as a companion to the standard and three books.

This latest edition enables a comprehensive assessment to be made of the user's information management system for conformity with BS 10008 and, subsequently, with the CoP books, and to help identify which of the three parts of the CoP are relevant to a system.

The Workbook has a clear layout divided into sections which contain a number of questions, the answers to which show whether or not the organization is complying with the requirements of BS 10008.

Some sections can be left out if they are not relevant to the information management system being assessed. In these cases, a question at the start of a section is asked to determine whether there is a need to answer the detailed questions within the rest of the section. Conditional questions are indented.

Some questions will not be relevant to specific applications. This should be indicated by the presence of a tick in the Not Applicable (N/A) box next to the relevant question, and the basis of the 'not relevant' decision should be documented and referenced in the workbook.

Guidance for implementing BS 10008:2008 is given in three Codes of Practice book, Parts 1, 2 and 3 (see book information below).

Whilst access to the Codes of Practice is not required during completion of this workbook, although familiarity with it is assumed. Reference should be made to the Codes of Practice where the applicability and/or meaning of a question needs amplification

The book will be of interest to information management systems and ICT professionals.
