QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON INTERNAL FILE STORAGE WITH RHENUS

Why is correct file storage equally important internally?

Why is correct file storage equally important internally?
Company documents often contain internal information that must not be leaked to the outside world and also personal data that must be protected under the GDPR. Therefore, access control must also be guaranteed for internal file storage, because not every employee is allowed to have access to every document in the company. If a data breach occurs, the fine can be up to 20 million € or, for companies, up to 4% of global annual turnover. It is then decided by which amount is higher.

We therefore recommend that you carry out internal file storage with Rhenus Archiv Services. Thanks to our expertise, we can guarantee you data protection-compliant storage.

How should files be stored?

The following requirements must be met for optimal storage in your archive or for the room in which the documents are stored:

Quality ventilated and insulated
No temperature fluctuations above +/- 1°C
No direct sunlight
Access protected
Lockable
Permanent monitoring
Fire protection measures are in place

If you are unable to meet these requirements with your internal archive, you can make use of our external file archiving service. We have several high-security archives throughout Germany that are equipped with state-of-the-art security technologies.

What needs to be considered when archiving?

In general, when archiving, it must be ensured that there is clear documentation of who viewed which document and when. Your business documents must be traceable and accessible at all times.
The statutory retention period also stipulates that the documents are still legible even after the deadlines.

What files need to be kept?

The following documents are increasingly affected by the statutory retention periods:

Bills
Receipts
Contracts
Documents
And many other documents

When can files be destroyed?

Files and documents may be destroyed either after six years or ten years according to the respective statutory retention period. Patient records and certain products, for example, have a retention period of up to 30 years. In our Business Networking Platform, the date of destruction of the files and documents is recorded so that the legal retention periods can be complied with and the documents can be destroyed in accordance with the law after expiry.
